CORAL GABLES, Fla., Nov. 12, 2026 (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 disorders, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, and provided a business update, including 18-month results from the NDV-01 Phase 2 study, the registrational Phase 3 Spectrum program, and continued progress toward the planned year-end 2026 Investigational New Drug (IND) submission for NDV-01 and sepranolone.
“Relmada has made significant progress in advancing the NDV-01 CMC program and remains on track to submit the NDV-01 IND by year-end 2026. Furthermore, we have established a manufacturing plan to provide uninterrupted clinical supply through the completion of the Phase 3 Spectrum program,” said Sergio Traversa, Chief Executive Officer of Relmada Therapeutics.
“Initial 18-month results from the ongoing NDV-01 Phase 2 study demonstrate extended durability of complete response and continued favorable tolerability,” added Bipin Dalmia, Chief Business Officer of Relmada Therapeutics. “Our Phase 3 program remains unchanged, with two independent registrational pathways in NMIBC, and we have renamed it Spectrum to reflect the potential breadth of NDV-01 across the NMIBC disease Spectrum . We expect to begin the Spectrum program upon IND clearance.”
CMC and Manufacturing Update
NDV-01: NDV-01 CMC program is on track for IND submission by year-end 2026, with initiation of the registrational Phase 3 Spectrum program upon IND clearance. Furthermore, we have established a manufacturing plan to provide uninterrupted clinical supply through completion of the Phase 3 Spectrum program.
Sepranolone: The Company is finalizing the stability testing of the pre-filled syringe (PFS) delivery system to enable sepranolone IND submission, which is on track for year-end 2026. We expect to start the Phase 2b trial in Prader-Willi Syndrome upon IND clearance.
NDV-01 Clinical Update
Phase 2 Study: Initial 18-month results from the ongoing Phase 2 TRGC-011 study of NDV-01 in high-risk NMIBC continue to support extended durability of NDV-01 complete responses and continued favorable tolerability profile.
Phase 3 Spectrum Program: The NDV-01 Phase 3 program remains unchanged and is designed to pursue two independent registrational pathways in NMIBC:
The Company has changed the Name of its Phase 3 program from RESCUE to Spectrum to better reflect the potential breadth of NDV-01 across the entire NMIBC disease Spectrum . Clinical trial sites are engaged and preparing to initiate patient enrollment upon IND clearance.

About NDV-01
NDV-01 is a novel, sustained-release, intravesical co-formulation of gemcitabine and docetaxel (Gem/Doce) being developed for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The formulation is engineered to provide prolonged bladder retention and sustained drug release for up to 10 days. By forming a soft intravesical matrix, NDV-01 is designed to increase local drug exposure while limiting systemic toxicity. The treatment can be administered conveniently in an office setting in under 5 minutes without the need for anesthesia or specialized equipment. NDV-01 is encompassed by multiple patent applications that if issued, could provide protection until 2047.
About the NDV-01 Phase 3 Spectrum Registrational Pathways:
Relmada has received written FDA feedback confirming alignment on two registrational pathways for NDV-01, including study design, patient populations, and primary endpoints. The Company expects to submit an IND by year-end 2026 and initiate the Phase 3 Spectrum program upon IND clearance.
About NMIBC
NMIBC represents 75-80% of all bladder cancer cases and is associated with high recurrence rates (50–80% over 5 years) and disease progression in a subset of these patients. With 63,000 incident NMIBC cases per year in the U.S. and limited treatment options, the market opportunity is significant. High-risk BCG-unresponsive disease represents the biggest unmet need in NMIBC, with limited and suboptimal bladder-sparing treatment options. While four therapies are FDA-approved for first line BCG-unresponsive disease, there are no approved therapies in the second line or later. Intermediate-risk NMIBC in the adjuvant setting has no currently approved therapies and patients with recurrence must undergo repeated surgical resections. NDV-01 has the potential to serve as a foundational intravesical therapy across the NMIBC disease Spectrum .
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 (PWS), Tourette syndrome, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). More than 335 patients have been treated with sepranolone in clinical trials to date, with a favorable safety profile. The Company is on track to submit the sepranolone IND by year-end 2026 and expects to initiate the Phase 2 study in Prader-Willi syndrome upon IND clearance.
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.
