Shares of Alcobra (NASDAQ: ADHD) slumped 49% today after the company reported top-line results from MEASURE, its second phase 3 clinical trial for the investigational product Metadoxine Extended Release (MDX) for the treatment of ADHD in adult patients. MDX did not meet the primary endpoint of demonstrating a statistically significant difference from placebo in the change from baseline of the investigator rating of the Conners’ Adult ADHD Rating Scales (CAARS). “We are exceedingly disappointed with these top-line results. In the coming weeks, the Company intends to review the full data set from MEASURE. Consequently, we will evaluate our options and communicate our strategic plan to investors,” Alcobra President and CEO Dr. Yaron Daniely stated in the news release.
