Neumora Therapeutics Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

KOASTAL-2 and -3 studies evaluating navacaprant in major depressive disorder on track for joint topline readout in the second quarter of 2026

Progressing NMRA-511 in Alzheimer’s disease agitation and NMRA-898 in schizophrenia with clinical data expected for each program in the second half of 2026

Strong financial position with $147.1 million in cash and cash equivalents expected to support operations into the third quarter of 2027

WATERTOWN, Mass., May 7, 2026 – Neumora Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: NMRA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a therapeutics pipeline consisting of programs that target novel mechanisms of action for a broad range of underserved, prevalent diseases, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided a business update.

“We focused on steady execution during the first quarter, highlighted by the full enrollment of the navacaprant KOASTAL‑2 and ‑3 studies with more than 400 patients per study. We look forward to the topline readout of these studies this quarter,” said Paul L. Berns, chairman and chief executive officer, Neumora. “Additionally, we reported the Phase 1b study with NMRA-511 demonstrating an unsurpassed clinical effect in Alzheimer’s disease agitation and we remain on track to report data from the MAD expansion cohort in the second half of 2026, with a Phase 2 study anticipated to begin in the first quarter of 2027.”

“The Phase 1 study for NMRA‑898 is ongoing, with data expected in the second half of 2026, and we are advancing NMRA‑215, which is expected to enter the clinic in the first quarter of 2027, reflecting the breadth and continued momentum of our pipeline. With a strong balance sheet, we believe we are well positioned to execute on these planned milestones and to continue progressing our portfolio in a disciplined manner,” continued Mr. Berns.

KEY PIPELINE HIGHLIGHTS

Navacaprant (Kappa Opioid Receptor Antagonist): Joint KOASTAL-2 and -3 Readout Expected in Second Quarter of 2026

The KOASTAL-2 and -3 studies were fully enrolled in the first quarter of 2026 with more than 400 patients in each study. The Company expects a joint topline data readout for KOASTAL-2 and -3 in the second quarter of 2026, including topline data for each study as well as pre-specified analyses with more than 450 patients enrolled after study optimizations in early 2025.

NMRA-511 (Vasopressin 1a Receptor Antagonist): On Track to Report Data from MAD Expansion Cohort in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) Agitation in Second Half of 2026

In the first quarter of 2026, Neumora announced results from its Phase 1b signal-seeking study of NMRA-511 demonstrating an unsurpassed effect size and a favorable tolerability and safety profile with no reports of somnolence or sedation in people with AD agitation. Neumora plans to report data from a multiple ascending dose (MAD) expansion cohort evaluating higher doses of NMRA-511 in the second half of 2026 and to initiate a Phase 2 study with NMRA-511 in Alzheimer's disease agitation in the first quarter of 2027.

NMRA-898 (M4 Positive Allosteric Modulator): Phase 1 Data Expected in Second Half of 2026

Neumora is conducting a MAD study with NMRA-898 in healthy volunteers and patients with stable schizophrenia. The goal of the study is to identify a maximum tolerated dose of NMRA-898 and confirm central nervous system penetration via cerebrospinal fluid exposure. The Company expects to report data from the study in the second half of 2026.

NMRA-215 (NLRP3 Inhibitor): Preclinical Work Ongoing; Program Update Expected in the Second Half of 2026

Neumora is developing NMRA-215 for the treatment of obesity. The Company expects to provide a program update in the second half of 2026 and for the program to enter the clinic in the first quarter of 2027.
