Bionomics - Phase IIa in agitation of the elderly initiated

Bionomics announced on 23 May 2018 it has initiated a Phase IIa study of its α7 nicotinic receptor inhibitor for the treatment of agitation in the elderly in a hospital setting. Agitation is a common problem (13-24%) in patients with dementia, and we expect the trial to focus primarily on this population. It will enrol a target of 40 patients across Australia and is expected to provide top-line data in calendar Q119.
