This strategic move aims to optimize the company’s management capabilities and ensure its steadfast commitment to executing the confirmatory trial successfully. Dr. Remy Luthringer, Chairman and CEO, expressed his appreciation for the collaborative efforts of the FDA and investors, highlighting the critical goal of demonstrating the effectiveness of roluperidone in improving the quality of life for patients suffering from schizophrenia.
