GeNeuro (Euronext Paris: CH0308403085 – GNRO):
The GNC-501 clinical trial is a Phase 2 study in patients
suffering from post-COVID-19 neuropsychiatric syndromes, testing
temelimab against placebo. The study enrolled over 200 patients in
Switzerland, Spain and Italy who had tested positive for HERV-W
ENV. The top-line results from this study show that treated
patients had no clinically meaningful improvement compared to
placebo on the primary endpoint measuring the improvement of
fatigue with the PROMIS SF7a test. The majority of secondary
endpoints did not show an effect either. The treatment was very
well tolerated and safe, consistent with previous clinical trials
in other indications.
Preliminary analyses suggest that shorter disease duration at
time of inclusion, as well as the evolution of the underlying
HERV-W ENV status, may have an impact on the efficacy outcome
measures. The Company will continue to analyze complete results
once they become available, including additional biomarkers.
GeNeuro thanks all the study participants, the investigators and
all other site personnel for their commitment that made this novel
study possible. The learnings from this study will certainly
advance the knowledge of this new disease affecting millions of
persons worldwide.
The Board of Directors of GeNeuro has taken note of these
results and decided to further reduce its operating costs and
workforce to conserve cash while considering all the strategic
alternatives for the Company. As a result, the Swiss parent company
GeNeuro SA has made redundant 7 of its 9 employment agreements,
including all of the Executive Management. All employees and
managers will work through their notice periods, of up to 6 months,
to execute the strategy that will be defined by the Board over the
coming days. An announcement detailing the strategic plan including
the implications for the French R&D subsidiary will be made
shortly thereafter. The Company will continue to seek paths to
advance or monetize its pipeline assets against multiple sclerosis
and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, as well as its HERV platform, in
order to generate value for all stakeholders.
