CORAL GABLES, Fla., Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RLMD, “Relmada” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing innovative therapies for oncology-related and central nervous system indications, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, announced 6-month follow-up data from the Phase 2 study of NDV-01 in bladder cancer and provided a corporate and pipeline update.

Highlights of the 6-month follow-up data from the Phase 2 study of NDV-01:

Complete Response	% (n/N)
Anytime	91% (21/23)
3 months	83% (19/23)
6 months	90% (19/21)

• One subject has reached the 9-month assessment and had a complete response (CR)

“We are pleased to report that the six-month follow-up from the Phase 2 study of NDV-01, a gemcitabine/docetaxel (Gem/Doce) sustained release formulation, produced impressive results, with a 91% CR rate at any time point following NDV-01 treatment. The data reported today, in combination with the previously reported 3-month results, raise our confidence in NDV-01 as a potential durable treatment for bladder cancer,” said Raj S. Pruthi, MD, CMO of Relmada. “Gem/Doce have long shown clinical utility in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), but the complexity of administration has limited their broader use. The sustained release formulation of NDV-01, which is designed to increase exposure to drug and simplify delivery and accessibility, has the potential to significantly change how we manage patients with NMIBC in routine practice.”

“As clinicians, we have embraced the combination of Gem/Doce as a highly effective therapy for many years,” said Yair Lotan, MD, Chair of Relmada’s Clinical Advisory Board. “However, it is difficult to formulate outside of the hospital setting, often creating a significant burden for patient and provider. NDV-01’s simple, ready-to-use sustained release formulation overcomes those burdens and could enable wider patient adoption transforming the care of NMIBC.”

Financial Results

Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Results

• R&D Expense: $2.8 million (vs. $10.7 million in Q2 2024), primarily associated with the wind-down of REL-1017 trial costs and lower stock-based compensation, partially offset an increase in R&D employee compensation expense
• G&A Expense: $7.4 million (vs. $8.1 million), primarily due to lower stock-based compensation, partially offset by an increase in G&A employee compensation and consulting services expenses
• Net Loss: $9.9 million or $0.30 per share (vs. $17.8 million or $0.59 per share)
  
  

Six Month Ended June 30, 2025 Results

• R&D Expense: $14.7 million (vs. $24.0 million in 1H 2024), reflecting reduced REL-1017 trial costs and lower stock-based compensation, partially offset by an increase in costs associated with the NDV-01 and sepranolone acquisitions and an increase in R&D employee compensation expense
• G&A Expense: $13.7 million (vs. $17.8 million in 1H 2024), primarily due to lower stock-based compensation and use of consulting services, partially offset by an increase in G&A employee compensation expense
• Net Cash Used in Operations: $24.5 million (vs. $26.3 million)
• Net Loss: $27.4 million or $0.86 per share (vs. $39.6 million or $1.31 per share)
• Cash, Equivalents & Short-Term Investments: $20.6 million as of June 30, 2025 (vs. $44.9 million at year-end 2024)

About NDV-01

NDV-01 is a sustained-release, intravesical formulation of gemcitabine and docetaxel (Gem/Doce), in development for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. It is designed to enable Gem/Doce bladder retention and gradual drug release over 10 days. The formulation creates a soft matrix that enhances local exposure while minimizing systemic toxicity. NDV-01 is convenient to administer in-office, in less than 10 minutes, and does not require anesthesia or specialized equipment. It is protected by patents through 2038.

About the Phase 2 Study

The Phase 2 study (NCT06663137) is an open-label, single-arm, single-center study evaluating the safety and efficacy of NDV-01 in patients with HG-NMIBC. Patients are treated with NDV-01 in a biweekly induction phase, follow by monthly maintenance for up to one year, with regular assessments via cystoscopy, cytology, and biopsy, as indicated. The primary efficacy endpoints are safety and complete response rate (CRR) at 12 months, and secondary efficacy endpoints are duration of response (DOR) and event free survival (EFS).

About NMIBC

NMIBC represents ~75% of all bladder cancer cases and is associated with high recurrence (50–75% over 7 years). With over 600,000 prevalent cases in the U.S. and limited treatment options, the market opportunity is significant. NDV-01 has the potential to serve as a frontline or salvage therapy and could be applicable across multiple NMIBC subtypes.

About Sepranolone and GABA Modulation

Sepranolone, a synthetic isoallopregnanolone, selectively modulates GABA_A receptors by antagonizing allopregnanolone (ALLO), without disrupting GABA signaling. It targets disorders linked to excess GABAergic activity such as Prader-Willi syndrome, Tourette syndrome, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). More than 335 patients have been treated with sepranolone in clinical trials to date, with an excellent safety profile.

About Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS)

PWS is a rare genetic disorder caused by chromosomal deletions on chromosome 15, leading to neurodevelopmental and behavioral complications. US prevalence is estimated to be 20,000 patients. Current treatments address symptoms but do not modify the underlying neurobehavioral pathology.

About Relmada Therapeutics, Inc.

Relmada Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing transformative therapies for oncology-related and central nervous system conditions. Lead candidates NDV-01 and sepranolone are advancing through mid-stage clinical development with the potential to address significant unmet needs.
