Grace Therapeutics Files 2026 10-K; GTx-104 Faces FDA CRL

AI Summary

Grace Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly Acasti Pharma Inc.) has filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. The company is focusing on developing treatments for rare and orphan diseases, with its lead candidate GTx-104 for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) being a key priority. While the Phase 3 STRIVE-ON trial for GTx-104 met its primary endpoint, the company received a Complete Response Letter from the FDA in April 2026 due to manufacturing and non-clinical issues, not safety or efficacy concerns. Grace Therapeutics is deferring development of other candidates, GTx-102 and GTx-101, to concentrate resources on GTx-104 and is seeking additional financing.
