HMNC Brain Health

Wilhelm-Wagenfeld-Straße 20, München, Bayern, 80807, Germany

Overview

HMNC Brain Health is developing orally available, precision therapies for depressive and other neuropsychiatric disorders. Its lead programs are Ketabon (KET01), an oral extended-release ketamine formulation that showed rapid antidepressant effects with reduced dissociative side effects in Phase 2 studies, and Nelivabon (BH-200), an oral vasopressin V1b receptor antagonist that delivered promising results in the Phase 2b OLIVE study using a proprietary genetic method for patient selection. Both candidates are in clinical development and not yet approved by regulators. The company plans to use the newly raised capital to support late-stage clinical development and to prepare Phase 3 programs for these assets. HMNC has entered a strategic licensing agreement granting MEDICE exclusive marketing rights for KET01 in Europe, with HMNC set to receive tiered double-digit royalties and milestone payments. The company is exploring expanding its programs to other neurological and psychiatric indications.
