Addex Therapeutics ( (CH:ADXN) ) just unveiled an update.

Addex Therapeutics reported that its spin-out Neurosterix has initiated a Phase 1 clinical trial of NTX-253, an orally available positive allosteric modulator of the muscarinic M4 receptor being developed as a novel treatment for schizophrenia. The first-in-human study in healthy volunteers will assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, marking a significant milestone for both companies and strengthening Addex’s strategic position, as it retains a 20% equity interest in Neurosterix and thus direct exposure to the potential value creation from this differentiated antipsychotic approach, which aims to modulate dopamine signaling while avoiding many side effects associated with traditional dopamine antagonists.
