Item 8.01 Other Events.
VistaGen Therapeutics, Inc. (the
“Company”) today announced the initiation of
ELEVATE, the Company’s double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase
2 clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AV-101
(L-4-chlorokynurenine) as an adjunctive treatment of Major
Depressive Disorder (“MDD”) in patients with an inadequate response
to current antidepressants approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (“FDA”). AV-101, the Company’s oral
N-methyl-D-aspartate (“NMDA”) receptor glycine B
(“GlyB”) antagonist, belongs to a new generation
of investigational medicines in neuropsychiatry known as glutamate
receptor modulators that have the potential to treat MDD faster
than current FDA-approved antidepressants. A copy of the Company’s press release is
attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated by reference herein.
