Overview

Alto Neuroscience is a Mountain View, CA–based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on precision psychiatry therapies that pair digital biomarkers with novel CNS drugs. Its lead candidate, ALTO-207—a fixed-dose combination of pramipexole and ondansetron—hit primary and secondary endpoints in a 32-patient Phase 2a study for treatment-resistant depression and is slated to enter Phase 2b by mid-2026 and Phase 3 in early 2027. The firm also advances ALTO-101, which recently secured FDA Fast Track status for cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia. Alto’s platform employs electroencephalography and cognitive testing to tailor treatments to individual patients. The company carries a market capitalization of about $164.6 million and reports a strong liquidity profile, with a current ratio of 18.43 and more cash than debt, though it is experiencing rapid cash burn. The newly raised capital should extend its runway and fund upcoming clinical milestones.
