The company is also implementing a strategic realignment plan to maximise shareholder value until the second quarter of 2025.

Acasti Pharma CEO Prashant Kohli said: “We expect this pivotal Phase III Safety Study will be the final clinical step required to seek FDA approval under the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway.

“As a result of the positive progress made with GTX-104, and following a strategic review, we felt it was critical to move swiftly and boldly to implement a plan that we believe will benefit Acasti’s shareholders by prioritising resources to this high-value asset.”

Pending FDA’s final feedback and approval, the first patient is expected to be dosed in the fourth quarter of this year.

In addition, Acasti is appointing new team members who have deep subject matter knowledge and direct, hands-on clinical trial experience in aSAH.

With the strategic realignment, Acasti is discontinuing its operations in Canada enabling a new management team to rebuild a leaner organisation in the US.

Kohli added: “The new Acasti is a highly motivated and energised organisation that is flatter, agile, and strategically closer to our addressable market opportunity in the US.”
