Relmada Therapeutics offers a highly favorable analyst-target upside per the engine, but that case rests on a binary clinical outcome against a backdrop of cash burn, sub-floor quality, and a persistent earnings-miss streak.

About Relmada Therapeutics, Inc.
About Relmada Therapeutics, Inc.
Relmada Therapeutics abandoned its original drug-development strategy in 2025, terminating both esmethadone (after a futile Reliance II Phase 3 interim analysis) and the REL-P11 psilocybin program, and replacing them with two acquired candidates: NDV-01, in-licensed from Trigone Pharma in March 2025 for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and sepranolone, acquired from Asarina Pharma in February 2025 for Prader-Willi syndrome and Tourette Syndrome. Both programs target mid-2026 Phase 3 or Phase 2 trial initiations.
NDV-01, a controlled-release intravesical formulation of gemcitabine and docetaxel, showed a 76% complete response rate at 12 months (Kaplan-Meier: 83%) among 48 patients in a Phase 2 trial, with Relmada targeting two Phase 3 studies - one in BCG-unresponsive high-grade disease, one in intermediate-risk adjuvant patients - both expected to start mid-2026 under a 505(b)(2) pathway that leans on the FDA's prior safety findings for the underlying chemotherapy agents. Sepranolone, a neurosteroid targeting GABAA receptor activity, reduced tic severity by 28% versus standard of care alone in a Phase 2a Tourette Syndrome study and is now advancing toward a Phase 2 pilot in Prader-Willi syndrome. Relmada paid Trigone a $3.5 million upfront fee plus 3,017,420 shares (10% of shares outstanding) for NDV-01 rights excluding Israel, India, and South Africa, with up to $200 million in milestones and a 3% royalty on any future net sales.
Show full overview
Relmada's entire near-term valuation now rests on two unapproved candidates after the 2025 collapse of esmethadone, its former cornerstone program, and the parallel termination of REL-P11: the company holds no approved products, generated no product revenue in 2025, and carried a $698.3 million accumulated deficit against $93.0 million of cash and short-term investments at year-end. A repeat of the esmethadone outcome in either the NDV-01 or sepranolone Phase 3 programs, both targeted for mid-2026 initiation, would leave the company without a late-stage asset for the second time in two years.
