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.”

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.”
