WALTHAM, Mass., Dec. 05, 2016 – Minerva Neurosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:NERV), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of therapies to treat central nervous system (CNS) disorders, today announced data presentations at the 55th Annual Meeting of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP), December 4-8, 2016. Conclusions from these data analyses are summarized below. The posters will be available following the completion of the last of these presentations at the ACNP meeting at http://ir.minervaneurosciences.com/events.cfm.
“The presentations of data from the Phase IIB trial with MIN-101 at ACNP demonstrate broad internal consistency across multiple endpoints, supporting the direct effect of this compound in treating negative symptoms in schizophrenia,” said Dr. Remy Luthringer, president and chief executive officer of Minerva. “Beyond the significant improvement on negative symptoms observed in the core 12-week double blind phase of this trial, which was followed by continuous improvement experienced by patients over an additional 24-week extension phase, data presented at ACNP show the potential of treatment with MIN-101 in improving general psychopathology, cognition and sleep, as well as its marked impact on younger patients.”
