Submission Seeks Approval of GTx-104 in the Treatment of Patients with aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (aSAH)
Comprehensive Data Package Includes Positive Results from Phase 3 STRIVE-ON Safety Trial of GTx-104
Submission Has the Potential to Trigger Exercise of up to $7.6 million in Gross Proceeds from 2023 Financing Warrants Tied to FDA Acceptance of NDA for Review
PRINCETON, N.J., June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grace Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:GRCE) (Grace Therapeutics or the Company), a late-stage, biopharma company advancing GTx-104, a clinical-stage, novel, injectable formulation of nimodipine being developed for IV infusion to address significant unmet medical needs in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) patients, today announced the submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the Company's New Drug Application (NDA) for GTx-104. The application includes a comprehensive data package, including positive data obtained from the Company's Phase 3 STRIVE-ON safety trial of GTx-104, whereby it met its primary endpoint and provided evidence of clinical benefit when compared to orally administered nimodipine.
Submission of the NDA has the potential to trigger the exercise of up to $7.6 million in warrants issued as part of a private placement the Company completed in September 2023. Under the terms of the September 2023 private placement, each warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.003 per share. These warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire on the earlier of (i) the 60th day after the date of the acceptance by the FDA of a NDA for the Company's product candidate GTX-104 or (ii) September 25, 2028.
The FDA typically has a 60-day period to determine if the Company's NDA is complete and acceptable for filing. Grace has obtained Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA for GTx-104, which generally provides seven years of marketing exclusivity in United States upon FDA approval of the NDA. Additionally, the Company believes that its U.S. and international patent estate will protect the market value of GTx-104 beyond marketing exclusivity.
