However, the company announced it would “further optimize” the candidate in preparation for a Phase 2 study in treatment-resistant depression.As such, this Phase 1b study will compare an improved OTF formulation of the candidate with IV. The improvements include taste masking, a backing layer, “and enhancements to further increase permeability.”For reference, atai dosed the very first subject with VLS-01 in Q4 2022.
