German neuroscience company HMNC Brain Health has raised $50 million in the first closing of a Series B financing round and signed a strategic partnership with Medice covering European commercialization of its oral ketamine program.
Medice led the round, with existing investor The Maschmeyer Group also participating. HMNC said the proceeds would support Phase III-readiness activities for two depression programs: Ketabon (ketamine; KET01), an oral prolonged-release ketamine formulation for treatment-resistant depression, and Nelivabon (nelivaptan; BH-200), a biomarker-guided vasopressin V1b receptor antagonist for major depressive disorder.
