  • Neuralstem could seek partner for Phase II depression small molecule; to develop stem cell therapy solo – CEO

By Hamish McDougall, BioPharm Insight, April 25, 2014

Neuralstem’s President and CEO discusses neurogenic small molecule lead compound, NSI-189, commercialization strategy with global life sciences business intelligence group, BioPharm Insight. Garr notes a partnership commitment would require the full potential of NSI-189 as a neurogenic agent in all potential indications on a global basis. The company plans to file an IND in late summer or early 3Q14 to commence the NSI-189 Phase II clinical trial in major depressive disorder before year-end, with Dr. Maurizio Fava, professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, cited as likely to be the principal investigator.
