“ VistaGen’s Poster Presentation at the Anxiety and Depression Association of America’s 2021 Annual Conference Differentiates PH94B’s Mechanism of Action from Highly-Addictive Benzodiazepines

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VistaGen Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: VTGN), a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing a new generation of medicines with the potential to go beyond the current standard of care for anxiety, depression and other central nervous system (CNS) disorders, announced today that data highlighting the proposed mechanism of action (MOA) of its Phase 3 investigational drug candidate, PH94B nasal spray, were recently presented in a poster session at the Anxiety and Depression Association of America’s 2021 Virtual Annual Conference. PH94B is designed with potential to provide rapid-onset acute treatment of anxiety for millions of individuals suffering from social anxiety disorder (SAD) without directly activating gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA-A) receptors. PH94B’s MOA is, therefore, fundamentally differentiated from the MOA of benzodiazepines such as alprazolam, diazepam and lorazepam, which are direct GABA-A receptor positive modulators. Among VistaGen’s core goals is for PH94B to displace these and other widely-used but highly-addictive benzodiazepines in the acute treatment paradigm for SAD and other anxiety disorders and phobias.“
