Vistagen's Fasedienol Shows Positive Preliminary Safety, Efficacy in Phase 3 Social Anxiety Trial
Summary
Vistagen Therapeutics announced preliminary positive safety and exploratory efficacy data from the ongoing open-label extension portion of its PALISADE-3 Phase 3 study for fasedienol nasal spray, targeting the acute treatment of social anxiety disorder. The data indicated fasedienol was well-tolerated with no new safety findings after 12 months and no serious adverse events reported.
