Key Q&A
Q:Would you please remind us again whether you still need to assess the low dose of 5 microgram in this trial or maybe in the second Phase III trial that you're planning to start?
A:In our disclosed MDD study, we are not using an intermediate dose. We're using a 2-arm study, so 100 micrograms versus placebo. It's reasonable to think that at some point in the MDD development program we might use that same 50-microgram intermediate blinding control arm.
Q:Is it fair to assume that the same therapeutic dose in GAD, which is 100 microgram will also be effective in MDD?
A:Yes, we'll be using that same 100-microgram active arm, which we have reason to believe from our GAD results in Phase IIb has high efficacy against depression cluster symptoms.
Q:If there are any kind of learnings that you're taking away initially from GAD epidemiology or treatment patterns, disease recognition, provider engagement, that sort of thing?
A:We've learned a lot about how to find patients, how to recruit them, and how to get the right folks into the study. There is broader awareness and attention to GAD, and more people are willing to talk about anxiety as a source of distress.
Q:How your latest views on how the low dose might play in, if you're seeing any kind of evolution in regulatory perspectives?
A:The 50-microgram dose level tells us nothing about the performance of the clinical dose of interest. We are focused on the 100 micrograms versus placebo.
Q:Could you maybe speak to how engagement has been going with the FDA over the course of the year?
A:Our engagement has stayed strong. FDA has been an incredible partner throughout our development program.
Q:What are the steps that you're taking to limit enrolling professional patients in maintaining the same robust effect size that you've seen in the Phase IIb trial?
A:We have several confirmatory steps as we enroll folks, including looking at records from outside treaters and conducting a confirmatory interview.
Q:What are steps that you are taking to monitor and prevent the safety risk?
A:We conduct the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (CSSRS) to ensure that patients we enroll are safe to be enrolled.
Q:Is there any plan to releasing any interim data between now and the final readouts?
A:We do have a blinded sample size reestimation, but we haven't provided any guidance around whether we would announce any findings from that analysis.
Q:What are your current thoughts on the market dynamics of epidemic under current environment given the Spravato growth trajectory?
A:Both populations for GAD and MDD are quite large. There are significant unmet needs in both.
Q:What specifically in your prior experience with commercializing scheduled products might help you best on setting up MM120 for success?
A:Having worked on a couple of products with REMS historically is going to be helpful.
Q:Could you talk a little bit about how you think about patient targeting within MDD or GAD?
A:We use claims data to identify where the patients are and will examine a lot of different factors that will go into our targeting model.
Q:Do you expect there could be some competitive benefit to having evidence in each indication individually?
A:Having a label that covers both disorders makes us the go-to regardless of whether someone presents in a major depressive episode or with more dominant anxiety symptoms.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided giving a direct answer regarding the potential efficacy of the 50-microgram dose, stating it tells us nothing about the performance of the clinical dose of interest. Additionally, there was no clear guidance on whether any interim data would be released.
