J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference recap
Neuren Pharmaceuticals (ASX: NEU) was pleased to participate in the 43rd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare
Conference, held from 13 to 16 January 2025, in San Francisco (Conference).
Neuren delivered a presentation at the Conference and engaged in one-on-one meetings with investors
and industry peers, showcasing its development pipeline for NNZ-2591 and robust financial growth
profile from DAYBUETM (trofinetide). A copy of Neuren’s presentation slides was released last week and
an audio recording of the presentation by Neuren CEO Jon Pilcher is now available on Neuren’s company
website (https://www.neurenpharma.com/news-media/media).
2025 is shaping up to be a defining year for Neuren, as NNZ-2591 progresses into late-stage
development as a multi-indication platform following positive Phase 2 trial results in Phelan-McDermid
syndrome, Pitt Hopkins syndrome and Angelman syndrome. Neuren is actively preparing to commence
a Phase 3 trial in Phelan-McDermid syndrome. Alignment with the US Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has been reached regarding a single Phase 3 trial, with the same dose, population and duration as
the Phase 2 trial, while negotiations with FDA continue on the primary efficacy endpoints to be used in
the trial. Neuren also plans to advance Pitt Hopkins syndrome and Angelman syndrome to registration
trials, subject to FDA consultation. Furthermore, Neuren is progressing non-clinical studies in multiple
undisclosed indications, with an update to be announced in due course.
Neuren’s global partner for trofinetide, Acadia Pharmaceuticals (Acadia), also presented at the
Conference, announcing the submission of a Marketing Authorisation Application to the European
Medicines Agency, as well as initiatives for the next wave of growth of DAYBUE in the US. Potential
approval in Europe is expected in Q1 2026, with earlier initiation of Managed Access Programs
anticipated in Q2 2025. For DAYBUE in the US, Acadia announced a substantial expansion of its field
force, plans to launch direct-to-consumer campaigns and an omni-channel strategy to bring DAYBUE
clinical experience to life. An audio recording of Acadia’s Conference presentation and the presentation
slides are available on its website (https://ir.acadia.com/events-and-presentations).
