Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

NervGen Pharma ( (NGEN) ) has provided an announcement.

NervGen Pharma reported first-quarter 2026 results on May 18, highlighting progress on NVG-291 and its transition to a U.S.-focused capital markets presence. The company, now listed on Nasdaq under the ticker NGEN after delisting from the TSX Venture Exchange, ended the quarter with $16.6 million in cash and investments, higher R&D spending of $4.9 million, lower G&A of $2.7 million, and a narrowed net loss of $1.7 million due largely to a higher non-cash unrealized gain on warrant derivatives.

Operationally, NervGen completed a successful FDA End-of-Phase 2 meeting, securing alignment on RESTORE, its planned registrational trial of NVG-291 in chronic tetraplegia, with site activation underway and study initiation targeted for mid-2026. The company expects second-quarter 2026 results from independent gait analyses of its CONNECT SCI study, is preparing an indication-prioritization framework to expand NVG-291 into additional neurotraumatic and neurologic indications, and has bolstered its leadership team with senior hires in finance, regulatory affairs, and patient advocacy to support late-stage development and its Nasdaq listing.

The most recent analyst rating on (NGEN) stock is a Buy with a $6.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NervGen Pharma stock, see the NGEN Stock Forecast page.
