Neuraptive is preparing to initiate a Phase III programme for NTX-001 in early 2025.

The programme will include a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NTX-001 in patients with peripheral nerve injuries.

The final study protocol for the prospective Phase III trial is under discussion with the regulator, building on the encouraging data observed after 24 weeks in the NEUROFUSE study.

Neuraptive anticipates that the complete set of results, encompassing the full 48 weeks of data, will be available soon.
