NBI-1117568 (former developmental code name HTL-0016878) is an investigational antipsychotic drug for schizophrenia that was out-licensed Nexera Pharma in to Neurocrine Biosciences, a United States-based pharmaceutical company.[1][2] It is administered orally.[3][4]

Overview

[edit]

It is a selective muscarinic acetylcholine M4 receptor agonist that indirectly modulates dopamine as the basis for its putative improvement of schizophrenia.[3] In April 2016, the compound was out-licensed to Allergan, an Irish pharmaceutical company. By September 2017, it had advanced to Phase I clinical trial for the indication of "neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias"[5] However, in May 2020, Allergan was acquired by AbbVie, and due to AbbVie's pipeline business decisions, the license was returned to Nexceris in January 2021.[6] In November 2021, the compound was newly out-licensed to Neurocrine Biosciences, a U.S. pharmaceutical company.[2] It has been under development as a treatment for schizophrenia, and as of September 2024, Phase II clinical trials have been completed.[7][8]

History

[edit]
  • 2016
    • April: The rights to develop and sell NBI-1117568 were transferred from its original developer to Allergan.[9]
  • 2017
    • September: Allergan initiated Phase I clinical trials for NBI-1117568 to treat "neurobehavioral symptoms related to Alzheimer's disease and other conditions."[10]
  • 2021
    • January: Allergan returned the rights to NBI-1117568 to Nexera Pharma.[9]
    • November: The rights were then transferred to Neurocrine Biosciences, which took over the development of NBI-1117568.[11]
  • 2022
    • October: Phase II clinical trials began for NBI-1117568 to treat schizophrenia.[12]
  • 2024
    • April: Neurocrine Biosciences announced that NBI-1117568 had met the requirements of long-term preclinical toxicity tests.[13]
    • August: Neurocrine Biosciences released the results of the Phase II clinical trials.[14][15]

Clinical trials

[edit]

Phase II clinical trial

[edit]

The Phase II clinical trial was conducted in 15 sites across the U.S. with 200 adult patients diagnosed with schizophrenia.[16] The primary endpoint was assessed by the change in the total score of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) after six weeks of treatment. The 20 mg once-daily group showed a statistically significant improvement of 7.5 points compared to the placebo group (improvement of 18.2 points from baseline, p = 0.011, effect size = 0.61).[17] However, the 40 mg once-daily group, 60 mg once-daily group, and 30 mg twice-daily group did not show statistically significant differences compared to the placebo group (p-values: 40 mg group: 0.282, 60 mg group: 0.189, 30 mg twice-daily group: 0.090).[17]

Market reaction to phase II clinical trial

[edit]

With a PANSS improvement of 7.5, NBI-111758 lagged behind xanomeline/trospium (KarXT) (Karuna Therapeutics) with 8.4 and emraclidine (Cerevel Therapeutics) with 12.7, both of which were in clinical trials at the same time. Moreover, the lack of dose-dependency led to disappointment in the stock market.[18] Neurocrine Biosciences' share price dropped 19% on the day following the announcement of the Phase II clinical trial results.[19]
