Axsome Therapeutics

We aim to become a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company that develops and commercializes differentiated medicines that expand the treatment options available to caregivers and improve the lives of patients living with CNS disorders.

Axsome Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies for the management of central nervous system (CNS) disorders for which there are limited treatment options. Axsome's core CNS product candidate portfolio includes four clinical-stage candidates, which we are developing for six different CNS indications. The Axsome Pain and Primary Care business unit (Axsome PPC) houses Axsome's pain and primary care assets and intellectual property which includes three clinical-stage product candidates, which are being developed for multiple pain and primary care indications.

Our proprietary medicinal chemistry and formulation technologies allow us to continue to design new and innovative medicines to treat CNS conditions. These technologies and capabilities include:

Chiral and Formulation Chemistry. Our AXS-09 product candidate was developed using our chiral chemistry and formulation capabilities to identify, isolate and stabilize chirally pure enantiomers.

MoSEIC™ Technology. Our AXS-06 and AXS-07 product candidates incorporate our MoSEIC™ technology which is designed to substantially increase the solubility and speed the absorption of target drug molecules.

Metabolic Inhibition Technology. Our AXS-05 and AXS-09 product candidates incorporate our technology of using metabolic inhibition as a novel drug delivery method to increase the bioavailability and prolong the half-life of target drug molecules.

Proprietary Synthesis and Analysis. Our AXS-02 product candidate was generated using proprietary chemical synthesis and analysis to increase the solubility and enable the oral delivery of the target drug molecule.

AXS-05

AXS-05 is a novel, oral, investigational drug product under development for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) disorders. AXS-05 utilizes Axsome’s technology of combining bupropion and dextromethorphan. Dextromethorphan is an NMDA receptor antagonist, sigma-1 receptor agonist, and inhibitor of the serotonin and norepinephrine transporters. Bupropion serves to increase the bioavailability of dextromethorphan, and is a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor, and a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist. We are initially developing AXS-05 for the treatment of the following conditions: treatment resistant depression (TRD), agitation associated with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), and smoking cessation. AXS-05 is an investigational drug product not approved by the FDA.

**On Jan. 7, 2019 Axsome Therapeutics reported that its lead drug candidate, AXS-05, hit its primary endpoint in a phase 2 trial evaluating it as a treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD).

AXS-05

Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD)

TRD occurs in individuals suffering from major depression who fail to respond to initial antidepressant treatments. AXS-05 is a novel, oral, investigational drug product, incorporating multiple mechanisms of action, under development for the treatment of TRD.

Learn more about TRD and AXS-05

AXS-05

Agitation Associated with Alzheimer's Disease

Individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease typically experience behavioral and psychological symptoms including agitation and aggression. AXS-05 is a novel, oral, investigational drug product, incorporating multiple mechanisms of action, under development for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease agitation.

AXS-07

AXS-07 is an oral, fixed-dose combination of MoSEIC™ meloxicam and rizatriptan being developed for the acute treatment of migraine. Meloxicam is a new molecular entity for migraine enabled by Axsome’s proprietary MoSEIC™ (Molecular Solubility Enhanced Inclusion Complex) technology, which results in rapid absorption of meloxicam while maintaining a long plasma half-life. Meloxicam is a COX-2 preferential non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with potent pain-relieving efficacy while rizatriptan is a 5-HT1B/D agonist currently approved as a single agent for the acute treatment of migraine. AXS-07 is designed to provide rapid, enhanced and consistent relief of migraine, with reduced symptom recurrence

Learn more about AXS-07 and our target indications.

AXS-09

AXS-09 is a novel, oral medicine consisting of chirally pure esbupropion and dextromethorphan being developed for the treatment of central nervous system disorders. Esbupropion is the S-enantiomer of bupropion, a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist which also serves to increase the bioavailability of dextromethorphan. Dextromethorphan is an NMDA receptor antagonist, sigma-1 receptor agonist, an inhibitor of the serotonin and norepinephrine transporters, and a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist.

Learn more about AXS-09 and our target indications.

AXS-12

AXS-12 (reboxetine) is a novel, oral, investigational medicine in development for the treatment of the symptoms of narcolepsy. AXS-12 is a highly selective and potent norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. AXS-12 is an investigational drug not approved by the FDA.
