Conference Call and Webcast Today at 4:30 PM ET
CORAL GABLES, Fla., Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RLMD, “Relmada” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing innovative therapies for oncology and central nervous system indications, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, and provided business highlights including updates for the NDV-01 program for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and completion of an underwritten financing providing $100 million in gross proceeds.
“Relmada’s outstanding progress this year has significantly de-risked our lead program, NDV-01 for NMIBC, and established a strong foundation for future success. Positive 9-month data showing a 92% complete response (CR) rate at any time point and the positive outcome of our Type B meeting with the FDA further reinforce our confidence in NDV-01’s potential to become a best-in-class treatment for NMIBC,” said Sergio Traversa, Chief Executive Officer of Relmada Therapeutics. “The recent $100M underwritten financing provides the resources to drive forward the planned registrational studies for NDV-01, advance development of sepranolone for Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) and support the future growth of Relmada.”
NDV-01 Program Update:
- As previously announced, FDA Type B pre-IND meeting secured FDA alignment on key elements of planned Phase 3 registrational program (specific study design details to be further discussed with the agency):
- In high-risk, 2nd line BCG-unresponsive setting, FDA stated that a single arm trial might be acceptable in a more refractory patient population.
- In the intermediate-risk NMIBC setting, FDA agreed that a proposal to randomize patients post-TURBT (transurethral resection of bladder tumor) to adjuvant NDV-01 vs observation, evaluating a time-to-event endpoint, is generally acceptable.
- Further non-clinical studies are not required. FDA indicated that no further non-clinical studies are required to support a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (NDA).

Additional NDV-01 Update:
-
Relmada announced the appointment of Max Kates, MD to the Company’s Clinical Advisory Board. Dr. Kates, Associate Professor of Urology and Oncology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, is a distinguished urologic oncologist who brings a wealth of experience, from chairing the landmark Phase 3 BRIDGE trial and leading several other practice-changing studies.
“Positive 9-mo data and alignment with the FDA on the Phase 3 pivotal program are key milestones for the NDV-01 program. We are pleased that ongoing Phase 2 follow-up data continue to support the opportunity for NDV-01 to transform the treatment of NMIBC, by providing patients and physicians with a potential bladder-sparing, in-office, ready-to-use, safe, effective and durable, best-in-class therapy,” said Raj S. Pruthi, MD, Chief Medical Officer-Oncology. “Securing FDA alignment for two distinct registrational paths provides a clear path to advance NDV-01 for patients with NMIBC who currently have limited options. We believe a single-arm registrational study in high-risk, refractory BCG-unresponsive patients offers a rapid route to potential approval, while alignment on a separate, second pivotal study in intermediate-risk NMIBC could enable an additional indication and broader clinical adoption. We look forward to working with the FDA to establish the final study design and initiate the registrational program in the first half of 2026.”
Expected Upcoming Milestones:
- NDV-01 Twelve-month data from ongoing Phase 2 NMBIC Study – Q1 2026
- NDV-01 United States IND clearance – 1st Half 2026
- NDV-01 High-risk, 2nd line BCG-unresponsive NMIBC Phase 3 Trial Initiation – 1st Half 2026
- NDV-01 Intermediate Risk in the Adjuvant Setting Phase 3 Trial Initiation – 1st Half 2026
- Sepranolone – Initiation of phase 2, proof of concept clinical trial in PWS – 1st Half 2026
Financial Results
Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Results
- R&D Expense: $4.0 million (vs. $11.1 million in Q3 2024), primarily associated with the wind-down of REL-1017 trial costs and lower stock-based compensation, partially offset an increase in R&D employee compensation expense
- G&A Expense: $6.3 million (vs. $11.9 million in Q3 2024), primarily due to lower stock-based compensation and consulting services expenses
-
Net Loss: $10.1 million or $0.30 per share (vs. $21.7 million or $0.72 per share in Q3 2024)
Nine Months Ended June 30, 2025 Results
- R&D Expense: $18.8 million (vs. $35.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024), reflecting reduced REL-1017 trial costs and lower stock-based compensation, partially offset by an increase in costs associated with the NDV-01 and sepranolone acquisitions and an increase in R&D employee compensation expense
- G&A Expense: $20.0 million (vs. $29.6 million or the nine months ended September 30, 2024), primarily due to lower stock-based compensation, G&A employee compensation and use of consulting services
- Net Cash Used in Operations: $31.2 million (vs. $43.0 million)
- Net Loss: $37.5 million or $1.16 per share (vs. $61.3 million or $2.03 per share)
- Cash, Equivalents & Short-Term Investments: $13.9 million as of September 30, 2025 (vs. $44.9 million at December 31, 2024), excluding net proceeds of approximately $94.0 million for an underwritten offering of common stock and pre-funded warrants which the Company closed and settled on November 5, 2025. Based on current plans, the Company believes that its current cash balance, including net proceeds from the offering, is sufficient to support planned expenses into 2028.

About NDV-01
NDV-01 is a sustained-release, intravesical formulation of gemcitabine and docetaxel (Gem/Doce), in development for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. It is designed to enable Gem/Doce bladder retention and gradual drug release over 10 days. The formulation creates a soft matrix that enhances local exposure while minimizing systemic toxicity. The NDV-01 formulation is a ready to use, convenient to administer in-office in less than 10 minutes, and does not require anesthesia or specialized equipment. It is protected by patents through 2038.
About the Phase 2 Study
The Phase 2 study (NCT06663137) is an open-label, single-arm, single-center study evaluating the safety and efficacy of NDV-01 in patients with HG-NMIBC. Patients are treated with NDV-01 in a biweekly induction phase, follow by monthly maintenance for up to one year, with regular assessments via cystoscopy, cytology, and biopsy, as indicated. The primary efficacy endpoints are safety and complete response rate (CRR) at 12 months, and secondary efficacy endpoints are duration of response (DOR) and event free survival (EFS).
About NMIBC
NMIBC represents 75-80% of all bladder cancer cases and is associated with high recurrence (50 – 80% over 5 years). With over 744,000 prevalent cases in the U.S. and limited treatment options, the market opportunity is significant. NDV-01 has the potential to serve as a frontline or salvage therapy and could be applicable across multiple NMIBC subtypes.
About Sepranolone and GABA Modulation
Sepranolone, a synthetic isoallopregnanolone, selectively modulates GABAA receptors by antagonizing allopregnanolone (ALLO), without disrupting GABA signaling. It targets disorders linked to excess GABAergic activity such as Prader-Willi syndrome, Tourette syndrome, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). More than 335 patients have been treated with sepranolone in clinical trials to date, with an excellent safety profile.
About Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS)
PWS is a rare genetic disorder caused by chromosomal deletions on chromosome 15, leading to neurodevelopmental and behavioral complications. Global prevalence is estimated to be 350,000-400,000 patients. Current treatments address symptoms but do not modify the underlying neurobehavioral pathology.
About Relmada Therapeutics, Inc.
Relmada Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing transformative therapies for oncology and central nervous system conditions. Its lead candidates, NDV-01 and sepranolone, are advancing through mid-stage clinical development with the potential to address significant unmet needs.
