Neuralstem: Stock falls in July on Phase II Miss, Gets 2 New Patents for Neural Stem Cells

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / September 27, 2017 / Traders News Source, a leading independent equity research and corporate access firm focused on small and mid-cap public companies is issuing a comprehensive report with no obligation on Neuralstem, Inc. (NASDAQ: CUR) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel treatments for nervous system diseases of high unmet medical need. Neuralstem's diversified portfolio of product candidates is based on its proprietary neural stem cell technology.

The company's stock fell substantially during July after the company released data from an investigation into its lead development asset to treat severe depression. The data derived from its Phase 2 clinical trial examining the efficacy of NSI-189 at 40 mg once daily (QD) and 40 mg twice daily (BID) compared to placebo for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). The numbers missed expectations and Neuralstem shares traded at a heavy discount after that.

A secondary endpoint that compared the drug to placebo as measured by what's called a patient-rated Symptoms of Depression Questionnaire (SDQ) achieved statistical significance (p=0.044). Results were also directionally positive on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D17) at both doses. Both the 40 mg QD and 40 mg BID doses were well tolerated with no serious adverse events reported.

Is there a future for Cur's NSI-189 and what else is in their pipeline? READ MORE
