An update from Luye Pharma Group ( (HK:2186) ) is now available.

Luye Pharma Group has enrolled the first subject in a Phase II clinical trial in China for its in-house developed drug LY03020, a first-in-class agonist targeting both TAAR1 and 5-HT2C receptors. The candidate is being developed to treat acute schizophrenia and is also intended for Alzheimer’s disease psychosis and bipolar disorder, addressing a large unmet need where many patients do not respond adequately to current antipsychotics.

The multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in China will evaluate LY03020’s efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and effective dosing in acute schizophrenia, complementing cleared clinical development in the U.S. Early data suggest the drug may improve positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms with fewer side effects such as extrapyramidal symptoms and metabolic issues, potentially strengthening Luye Pharma’s competitive positioning in the CNS segment if later-stage results confirm these benefits.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:2186) stock is a Hold with a HK$2.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Luye Pharma Group stock, see the HK:2186 Stock Forecast page.
