Active Research Studies

Trigeminal Neuralgia | A Phase II/III, multicenter, 8-week run-in phase followed by a 12-week, prospective, parallel-group, double-blind, randomized withdrawal, placebo-controlled study, with a 52 week open label extension, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of daily 1.5 to 3.5 mg basimglurant in patients with pain associated with trigeminal neuralgia with suboptimal response to their current anti-pain therapy. | Hossein Ansari, MD, FAAN, FAHS | Noema | NOE-TGN-201


Obsessive Compulsive Disorder | A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled
Trial of Adjunctive Troriluzole in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder |Mohammed Ahmed, MD | BHV4157-303 | Biohaven


Migraine | An Open-Label, Multiple-Dose Evaluation of the Efficacy and
Safety of AXS-07 (meloxicam and rizatriptan) for the Acute
Treatment of Migraine in Adults with a Prior Inadequate Response
to an Oral CGRP Inhibitor.| Hossein Ansari, MD, FAAN, FAHS | AXS-07-304 | Axsome


Early Alzheimer’s Disease | A Phase 3 Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Multi-center Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of AR1001 over 52 Weeks in
Participants with Early Alzheimer’s Disease| Mohammed Ahmed, MD | AriBio | AR1001-ADP3-US01


Treatment-resistant Depression / Bipolar I and II | A Prospective, Multi-center, Randomized Controlled Blinded Trial Demonstrating the Safety and Effectiveness of VNS Therapy System as Adjunctive Therapy Versus a No-Stimulation Control in Subjects With Treatment-Resistant Depression | Mohammed Ahmed, MD | LivaNova | LND-300
