Provided by AGPMORRISTOWN, N.J., May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reunion Neuroscience, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to revolutionizing the treatment of underserved mental health disorders through the advancement of next-generation psychedelic-inspired therapeutic solutions, today announced that it will share the full results of the RECONNECT, a Phase 2 trial evaluating luvesilocin in adult female patients with moderate-to-severe postpartum depression (PPD), in an oral presentation at the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology (ASCP) Annual Meeting 2026 – Psychiatry and AI: Promises, Perils, and Pathways Forward in Miami, FL.
As previously presented in a poster session at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) Annual Meeting, RECONNECT met its primary endpoint, with a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in depression as measured by the MADRS total score observed on Day 7. Clinically meaningful reductions in MADRS were observed for luvesilocin 30mg-treated patients on the first day following administration and maintained through the 28-day follow-up. Substantial and clinically meaningful improvements in other key secondary endpoints, including MADRS response and remission rates and other measures of PPD-related symptoms, were also observed.
Based on these data, Reunion Neuroscience aligned with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on a registrational path for luvesilocin in PPD. The Company expects to advance luvesilocin into a pivotal Phase 3 trial in 2026. Based on feedback from the FDA, Reunion expects that the results from this single Phase 3 trial, if successful, would complete the data package required to support potential registration of luvesilocin in PPD.
Details of the ASCP presentation are as follows:
Title: RE104: A Novel Serotonergic Psychedelic 4-OH-DiPT Prodrug for the Treatment of Postpartum Depression
Session: Pharmaceutical Pipeline Session
Session Date and Time: Tuesday, May 26, 2026 from 2:00 – 4:00 PM ET
Presentation Time: Tuesday, May 26, 2026 from 2:00 – 2:10 PM ET
Presenter: Mark Pollack, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Reunion Neuroscience
Reunion Neuroscience will also present data in a poster session entitled, “RE104: A Novel Psychedelic Agent for Postpartum Depression,” at the 2026 American Psychiatric Association (APA) Annual Meeting, May 18, 2026 in San Francisco, CA.
About Luvesilocin
Luvesilocin is a proprietary, potential best-in-class, patented prodrug of 4-OH-DiPT, which is administered via a subcutaneous injection. Reunion designed luvesilocin to deliver rapid efficacy with a short psychoactive experience, making luvesilocin more convenient than the longer experience and monitoring required with psychedelics like psilocybin or LSD.
Reunion is evaluating luvesilocin as a subcutaneous administration for the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, including PPD, adjustment disorder (AjD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and other potential indications. Following positive data from the Phase 2 RECONNECT trial, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted luvesilocin Breakthrough Therapy Designation in PPD. Reunion expects to initiate a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in PPD in 2026, which, if successful, could support potential registration of luvesilocin. Additionally, Reunion is enrolling patients in the Phase 2 REKINDLE (NCT07002034) clinical trial in patients with AjD related to cancer and other medical illnesses and the Phase 2 RECLAIM (NCT07489651) clinical trial in patients with GAD.
