The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Neumora Therapeutics, Inc. (NMRA) Misled Investors in the Offering Documents in Support of its IPO

According to the complaint, the Offering Documents failed to disclose or misrepresented facts regarding the prospects of Navacaprant (the Company's flagship candidate aimed at treating major depressive disorder (MDD)) as a monotherapy, including: (1) in order for Neumora to justify conducting its Phase Three Program, Neumora was forced to amend BlackThorn’s original Phase Two Trial inclusion criteria to include a patient population with moderate to severe MDD to show that Navacaprant offered a statistically significant improvement in treating MDD; (2) and to that same end, the Company also added a prespecified analysis to the Phase Two statistical analysis plan, focusing on patients suffering from moderate to severe MDD; and (3) the Phase Two Trials lacked adequate data, particularly in regards to the patient population size and the ratio of male to female patients within the patient population, to be able to accurately predict the results of the KOASTAL-1 study.

The complaint alleges that on January 2, 2025, the undisclosed adverse facts became known when Neumora issued a press release announcing the results from the KOASTAL-1 study of Navacaprant for the treatment of moderate to severe MDD. The press release revealed that the KOASTAL-1 study failed to “demonstrate a statistically significant improvement on the primary endpoint of change from baseline in the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (‘MADRS’) total score at Week 6 or the key secondary endpoint of a change from baseline in the Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (‘SHAPS’) scale.”

Since the IPO, the value of Neumora common stock has declined substantially from the IPO price of $17 per share to a closing price of $1.91 per share on February 5, 2025, an 88.7% decline from the IPO price).
