Under the terms of the agreement, Addex has also exercised its right to select a compound to advance its own independent GABAB PAM program for chronic cough.

“The selection of GABAB PAM clinical candidates is the culmination of more than five years of research at Addex in close collaboration with the team at Indivior…We look forward to the next steps in the development of the substance use disorder program under the control of Indivior,” said Tim Dyer, CEO of Addex. “On the Addex side, we are now focused on advancing our selected clinical candidate for chronic cough into IND-enabling studies.”

The decision follows top-line Phase 2 data announced in April, showing that adjunctive ADX71149 (JNJ-40411813) administration in patients with focal onset seizures with suboptimal response to levetiracetam or brivaracetam did not achieve statistical significance for the primary endpoint of time for patients to reach baseline seizure count when ADX71149 was added to standard of care.

Price Action: ADXN stock is 63.2% at $12.50 during the premarket session at last check Tuesday.
