NetworkNewsBreaks – Cerecor (CERC) Phase 2 Study Top-Line Results of CERC-501 Display Favorable Side-Effect Profile

Company: Cerecor, Inc. (CERC)
Category: News

Cerecor Inc. (NASDAQ: CERC) announced top-line clinical results from its nicotine withdrawal phase 2 clinical trial of CERC-501 today. Although the trial did not meet its primary objective in nicotine withdrawal, the oral, potent, and selective kappa opioid receptor (“KOR”) antagonist was well tolerated with no serious adverse events reported and no discontinuations due to adverse events. Based on this favorable side-effect profile, the company intends to move forward with its previously planned development of CERC-501 in its primary indication, as an adjunctive treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). “There is preclinical and recent clinical evidence that strongly support the potential use of other KOR antagonists as novel medicines for the treatment of mood- and stress-related conditions, such as MDD and anxiety disorders. We believe that our KOR antagonist, CERC-501, has similar potential… We will now turn our focus to preparing CERC-501 for a Phase 2/3 clinical trial as an adjunctive treatment of MDD in patients with an inadequate response to standard antidepressant therapies. We hope to initiate this trial in the second half of 2017,” Dr. Uli Hacksell, president and CEO of Cerecor, stated in the news release.
