NEWS -- Relmada Therapeutics Appoints CNS Specialist Thomas C. Wessel, M.D., Ph.D., as Executive Vice President, Head of Research and Development
NEW YORK, March 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RLMD), a clinical-stage company developing novel therapies for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases, today announced that Thomas C. Wessel, M.D., Ph.D., has been appointed the Company's Executive Vice President and Head of Research and Development. Dr. Wessel will lead all clinical development and regulatory activities for Relmada.
Dr. Wessel is a board-certified neurologist with extensive drug development experience, including medical lead for three CNS products approved in the United States: Razadyne®, Lunesta® and Ampyra®. Over the last decade, he served as Chief Medical Officer (CMO) for Acorda Therapeutics, Flex Pharma and more recently at Asceneuron. Dr. Wessel gained extensive experience in the development of CNS active isomers as Senior Vice President of Clinical Research at Sepracor. He also worked on several development projects in neurology and psychiatry at Janssen Pharmaceutical (Johnson & Johnson) in Europe and the United States. Dr. Wessel received his M.D. from the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich, Germany, and his Ph.D. in experimental neurobiology at the Max-Planck-Institute for Psychiatry in Martinsried, Germany. Dr. Wessel completed his residency in neurology at New York Hospital and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (Department of Neurology at Weill Cornell University Hospital) where he remained on the faculty for several years as an Instructor and Assistant Professor before joining the industry.
"Tom's vast CNS drug development expertise will be a significant asset to Relmada as we continue to advance our lead product candidate, REL-1017 (dextromethadone), as an adjunctive treatment in patients with major depression and other potential indications," said Sergio Traversa, Chief Executive Officer of Relmada. "Importantly, he has led the development of three U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved CNS products during his distinguished career. Tom's significant clinical development and regulatory experience, in particular with the development of optical isomers, will be especially critical as we prepare to initiate our pivotal Phase 3 study of REL-1017 as an adjunctive treatment in patients with major depression in the second half of this year. We are excited to add someone with his unique background in CNS to our senior executive management team."
"I am thrilled to join the Relmada team at such a critical time in the Company's corporate evolution," said Dr. Wessel. "Based on the data generated to date, REL-1017 has an extremely compelling product profile and, if approved, could provide an important new treatment option with rapid antidepressant onset for patients who suffer from major depression. I look forward to expanding Relmada's clinical development and regulatory activities and working closely with the academic research community and our team to progress REL-1017 in the clinic towards regulatory approval."
Dr. Ottavio Vitolo, who previously served as Relmada's Chief Medical Officer and Head of Research and Development, has left the company to pursue other opportunities. "Relmada is grateful for Dr. Vitolo's contributions to the Company and wishes him the best of luck in his future endeavors," said Sergio Traversa, CEO of Relmada.
About dextromethadone (REL 1017)
Relmada is currently developing dextromethadone as a rapidly acting oral agent for the treatment of depression. Working as an NMDA receptor antagonist and on the same binding site as ketamine but having shown no ketamine psychotomimetics side effects, dextromethadone is fundamentally differentiated from all currently FDA-approved antidepressants, as well as all atypical antipsychotics used adjunctively. In April 2017, the FDA granted Fast Track designation for dextromethadone for the adjunctive treatment of major depressive disorder.

@Relmada Therapeutics: A Promising Depression Focused Player For 2020
Feb. 17, 2020 10:08 AM ETRelmada Therapeutics, Inc. (RLMD)AXSM, VTGN2 Comments
Summary
Relmada Therapeutics' lead asset, REL-1017 can be a game-changer in depression indication.
The company has sufficient funds to sustain its operations.
Investors should consider risks such as business concentration risk, R&D failure risk, and commercial uptake uncertainties.
Today, we will study why Relmada Therapeutics (NASDAQ:RLMD) is an attractive clinical-stage biopharmaceutical pick in 2020.”
REL-1017 can offer a more effective yet safer treatment option for TRD patients
In 2017, there were 17.3 million MDD (major depressive disorder) patients in the U.S. Of these, 10% - 30% suffer from TRD (treatment-resistant depression). NMDA antagonists are fast emerging as a potent class of drugs in the depression indication. REL-1017 can prove to be equal or even superior to the much-touted Ketamine with a stronger safety profile as an antidepressant for TRD patients.
....Like Ketamine, D-methadone seems to possess NMDA antagonist properties which have an anti-depressant effect. This was seen in three animal models of depression. The drug's Phase 1 trial also demonstrated a favourable safety and tolerability profile of the drug. D-methadone has not demonstrated adverse events associated with traditional opioid or ketamine at the expected therapeutic doses. D-methadone is an isomer of racemic methadone.
Normally, racemic methadone is associated with common opioid side effects such as anxiety, nervousness, restlessness, sleep problems (insomnia), nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhoea, drowsiness, and others. Published literature shows that left or Levo isomer, l-methadone, is largely is related to opioid activity, while the right or Dextro isomer, d-methadone, has less of that activity.
If approved, Dextromethadone may be a more convenient treatment option in terms of its dosing regimen and route of administration.
REL-1017 has demonstrated robust efficacy and safety in Phase 2 trial
On October 15, Relmada Therapeutics announced positive topline data from Phase 2 REL-1017-202, study evaluating two dosages, 25 mg once a day and 50 mg once a day, of REL-1017 as an adjunctive treatment option for TRD patients....
RLMD very bullish seeking alpha (!) article
Jeffries analyst Tsai excepts 50-100% gain if RLMD receives Breakthrough status.
REL 1017 worth $1-2 billion if approved for TRD alone ($71-$140/share assuming 14mm shares OI&S)
And I'm not selling a share.
Opened UGMA accounts for my three grandchildren, all under 4 years old.
Modest start, 200 shares of RLMD (pre reverse split).
Hope to have $50,000 for them when they graduate HS.
Tiedmann (1.5%) Parsons (2.5%) and VHCP (5.2%) buy chunks of RLMD, soon there won’t be any stock left
Just don’t know IF RLMD
has applied for BTD or WHEN they may apply, if they haven’t already.
Company doesn’t leak, they should run the NSC
From the FDA web
FDA responds within sixty days of receipt of request. Do we know when Relmada made request?
FDA Web
Breakthrough Therapy designation is a process designed to expedite the development and review of drugs that are intended to treat a serious condition and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over available therapy on a clinically significant endpoint(s).
To determine whether the improvement over available therapy is substantial is a matter of judgment and depends on both the magnitude of the treatment effect, which could include duration of the effect, and the importance of the observed clinical outcome. In general, the preliminary clinical evidence should show a clear advantage over available therapy.
For purposes of Breakthrough Therapy designation, clinically significant endpoint generally refers to an endpoint that measures an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality (IMM) or on symptoms that represent serious consequences of the disease. A clinically significant endpoint can also refer to findings that suggest an effect on IMM or serious symptoms, including:
An effect on an established surrogate endpoint
An effect on a surrogate endpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint considered reasonably likely to predict a clinical benefit (i.e., the accelerated approval standard) An effect on a pharmacodynamic biomarker(s) that does not meet criteria for an acceptable surrogate endpoint, but strongly suggests the potential for a clinically meaningful effect on the underlying disease A significantly improved safety profile compared to available therapy (e.g., less dose-limiting toxicity for an oncology agent), with evidence of similar efficacy
A drug that receives Breakthrough Therapy designation is eligible for the following:
All Fast Track designation features Intensive guidance on an efficient drug development program, beginning as early as Phase 1 Organizational commitment involving senior managers
Breakthrough Therapy designation is requested by the drug company. If a sponsor has not requested breakthrough therapy designation, FDA may suggest that the sponsor consider submitting a request if: (1) after reviewing submitted data and information (including preliminary clinical evidence), the Agency thinks the drug development program may meet the criteria for Breakthrough Therapy designation and (2) the remaining drug development program can benefit from the designation.
Ideally, a Breakthrough Therapy designation request should be received by FDA no later than the end-of-phase-2 meetings if any of the features of the designation are to be obtained. Because the primary intent of Breakthrough Therapy designation is to develop evidence needed to support approval as efficiently as possible, FDA does not anticipate that Breakthrough Therapy designation requests will be made after the submission of an original BLA or NDA or a supplement. FDA will respond to Breakthrough Therapy designation requests within sixty days of receipt of the request
Jeffries wrote Breakthrough Designation could come in ‘1st quarter’
I thought it would be later
my friend the chartist said it had to back fill to 35-35.5 to resume a strong uptrend, I forgot his warning when it started to run. When will I ever learn to trade?
Jeffries 41 page buy recommendation today
Now all 3 co managers have published buy reports as expected
After final phase 2 meeting ( first half on 2020) w FDA REL 1017 may get Breakthrough Therapy designation
Watch for large block trades above the offer, whoever it is they haven’t filed a 13D yet
Chart looks like 55-61 short term
another 100,000 share uptick block ....hmmm
RLMD 50 day moving average failed to close above 200 day moving average, might take a breather, could resume if FDA grants REL 1017 a ‘breakthrough therapy’, already on Fast Track.
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=RLMD
Not going to sell, ‘expect the unexpected’ -Roald Dahl?
Chartist friend Mike who spotted the strong buy signal at $1.80 (7.20) says it could trade down to support of 351/2 but he's not selling either.
Stronger than expected opening, if there's anything to technical analysis.
?http://www.fda.gov/patients/fast-track-breakthrough-therapy-accelerated-approval-priority-review/breakthrough-therapy?
only reason I wake up at 8:30 is to watch RLMD, today I remembered my sister who got a cross burned in her yard for refunding MLK for a Delta flight he missed, his excuse was pretty good:
“I was in Bull Conner’s jail”
Prefer the larger SP of course.
That may be the JNJ low ball offer.
Did they hire Maged Shanouda as CFO just to sell cheap to JNJ?
Hearing vague rumors about JNJ
I’ve always thought JNJ would buy RLMD, if they paid $100 share it would only be half of what they spent developing Sprovato. Ketamine addiction a big problem in Canada. Just watched a documentary about it.
It makes sense but I hope it doesn’t happen, RLMD will hit 100 on its own this year IMHO, 300-500 once approved
This chart pattern could improve if it closes above 39.5
Last hour always seems to be the critical time, late lunch? Forgot to enter order?
This chart pattern is known as the
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=RLMD
‘Leap Out Froggy If You Feel Fit!” Pattern
No, really
No big pop but that 100,000 share block the other day was an indicator, but it helps
SILICON VALLEY BANK LEERINK only has a $50 short term target but agrees with other revenue projections and profitability estimates, if I’m reading it right 800mm in peak sales with 70% gross margins....huge
And you recently added to your share count.
Nice move.
Relmada Therapeutics (NASDAQ:RLMD) initiated with Outperform rating at SVB Leerink.

Forgetting my support line
I bought a little more today, 38.375 that 100,000 share block uptick got my attention.
Getting down to the support line?
“Three weeks ago it was under $30, they raised $115mm December 4th at $30/share in a secondary offering that was oversubscribed by 4 times pushing it to over $45 briefly... the founding VC of Intel and Apple invested $25mm in 800,000 + shares at $30. Since popping up to $45 it has drifted down slowly to about $40.”
(36 today!)
( 33-35 looks like a line of support technically)
Any news will reverse this steady decline
“It may drift down under $40 in the coming weeks, the chart looks weak short term:
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=RLMD
...but I’m not selling.”
Stocktwits
Def: a silly or foolish person.
Aptly named.
I am holding and once another binary event occurs in another company,
Am loading up on Relmada.
“It may drift down under $40 in the coming weeks, the chart looks weak short term:

Needs a rest, support at 35, since the company doesn’t leak you’ll never know when the next good news is coming

Hello XXXX,
Enjoyed meeting you today too. Look forward to going to the Avalanche Brewery.
Are you the St George who got my late wife Gwenn’s Mercedes to run better in the mountains?

The biochem company I mentioned is Relmada Therapeutics RLMD on NASDAQ.
Three weeks ago it was under $30, they raised $115mm last week at $30 share in a secondary offering that was oversubscribed by 4 times pushing it to over $45 briefly. Venrock, the founding backers of Intel and Apple, invested $25mm in 800,000 + shares at $30. Since popping up to $45 it has drifted down slowly to about $40.
They since announced two new board members and issued stock options to all the directors at $43.70/ share. One of the new directors Eric Schmidt had previously invested about $380,000 in 55,000 shares ($6 and $9/ share) of the company in two offerings that I participated in last June and in October 2018. He is a PhD (biochem) from MIT was for 20 years a top ranked biotech analyst and banker at Cowan & Co. and currently the CFO of $4b Allogene ( ALLO)
I will forward an email
I recently sent to my veterinarian in Harlingen who treated my cat 9 months ago. I told her about Relmada back ($11) then but none of my e mails got thru to her.
Here are the press releases from the company website:

It may drift down under $40 in the coming weeks, the chart looks weak short term:
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=RLMD
but I’m not selling.
The company doesn’t leak inside information so I never know when good news is coming. I suspect the next good news will be getting designated a ‘Breakthrough Therapy’ by the FDA (They are already fast tracked by the FDA) or another buy report from some brokerage firm. The first one was published last week by Guggenheim with an initial price target of $64 ( ‘$128 with a 50% certainty’ ) Their long term revenue projection of $1.2 billion supports my estimate of $300-$500/ share.
Let’s get together soon,
Merry Christmas Les

Somebody please tell those stocktwits that these are option awards not yet insider buys
Directors received well deserved options at 43.47
Gueggenheims initial price target is $64 ( $128 w a 50% probability)
...but their peak revenue estimate of $1.2 B for REL-1017 supports my earlier estimate of a $300-$500/share!
Woke up to a huge fire behind the B&B on the 24th, destroyed 2 business but the SVFD and Durango FD
saved the block. They had to fight it all night
Still wondering about the block of 577,000 that traded Friday at the close.
Appeared to be a third market trade typical of Jeffries ( I almost went to work for them in the 80s) Could have been the green shoe getting put away w a fund
Went skiing today for the first time in 49 years, face plant and twisted knee.
If the old adage volume before price rings true
RLMD should be heading up as the volume has gone up exponentially since the secondary.
2.8 million shares traded last week alone.
Far cry from a few months ago when 2,800 a day wasn't uncommon.
Eric Schmidt invested his own money in RLMD
GREAT addition to the board.
In regards to the new board members
Would be nice to have VictorMasonWasRight tell us what these men bring to the board.
I'm sure they weren't appointed just to collect some options.
I've added recently.

Friend from Colorado asked ’dont any of the guys at Venrock own a tie?’
Told him he could buy them all a tie for Christmas from todays bounce

Thanks for the analysis
Venrock bought 6.2% of RLMD

How today's top line results reflect on RLMD and other thoughts
First a bit about SAGE, their drug is NOT an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist.
In the top line results for SAGE, by day 42 of the trial 14% drop out in the arm which received the 30 mg dose. By day 42 of the trial 9% drop out in the arm which received the 20mg dose.
These people knew they were receiving the actual trial drug, not the placebo...yet to have 23% drop out before the end of the first segment then another 9% not bother to take the drug on the extended segment of the trial. Doesn't speak well of the drug, imo.
Onto AXSM, the combo of bupropion and DM does produce a slow acting N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist,
As Relmada's REL-1017 is the same type drug, the positive results of the AXSM trial should be replicated by REL-1017.
And as to patents, I did find this in the latest annual for AXSM:
In 2012, we entered into three exclusive license agreements with Antecip Bioventures II LLC, or Antecip, an entity owned by our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Herriot Tabuteau, M.D., in which we were granted exclusive licenses to develop, manufacture, and commercialize Antecip’s patents and applications related to the development of AXS-05 and AXS-02...
page 34
There are a number of patents on the AXS-05
As of March 11, 2019, our intellectual property portfolio contains 192 issued patents and more than 165 pending applications in the United States and worldwide. Thirty-one issued United States patents and three issued foreign patents covering our AXS-05 product candidate have claims covering pharmaceutical composition, drug delivery, and pharmacokinetics with protection extending through 2034 for our issued and pending applications.
There is opportunity for all...but I'm a Relmada exclusive.
My beautiful Wife told me to ‘Load the Boat’, I always did what she told me to do,
made 1100% on 50k invested, I’m getting the seaplane and grandkids will inherit the rest
( don’t know where the ID ‘The Great Leslie’ suddenly popped up, great grandkids call me that, have used Victor Mason )
Was alerted here after the first run saying this would be a huge stock and I must say I got some shares with skepticism and it has paid off very nicely.
Can’t complain when it comes to adding another boost to close a very healthy year of profits.
Cheers to all!!!
Re Guggenheim buy recommendation: Keep in mind $64 is their FIRST price target
IMHO they may think it’s worth $250-500 but they can’t say that at first. I’ve been saying it for 2 years, people thought I was (am) crazy
Next news could be another buy report or designation as a Breakthrough Therapy
Stay on the Yellow Brick Road, Lion
Another reason I don’t like Nancy, plus her son worked for Burisma

Summary
REL-1017's Phase 2a clinical trial is trying to best the clinical profile of Ketamine by attempting to target NMDA receptors without psychotomimetic and/or opiate side effects.
Research has indicated, however, Ketamine cannot exhibit antidepressant effects without dissociative adverse events.
Allergan's Rapastinel, designed to achieve this goal, completely failed to meet its primary endpoints in Phase 3 despite showing promising results in earlier trials.
It is also unlikely REL-1017 can achieve affinity with NMDA receptors without opiate related adverse events when the MOA for Ketamine is highly suspected to be based on opioid agonism.
As its only candidate, Relmada may suffer a devastating decline in its share price in the event of a poor REL-1017 data readout in Q42019.
