Elena Bidros's questions to Vistagen Therapeutics Inc (VTGN) leadership • Q1 2026
Question
Elena Bidros from Lucid posed two questions: first, what efficacy or other measures are captured in the open-label extension study besides safety; and second, for Vistagen's opinion on the competing Phase III trial for social anxiety disorder being conducted by Neuphoria.
Answer
COO Joshua Prince explained that the open-label study measures the Leibowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) monthly to track long-term severity. CEO Shawn Singh added that they also monitor drug utilization patterns. Regarding the competitor, Singh highlighted Fasedienol's differentiated non-systemic, rapid-onset mechanism and first-mover advantage, while viewing the competitor's use of a similar public speaking challenge as validation of the clinical trial model.
