Minerva Neurosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:NERV) seltorexant helped patients fall asleep more quickly and stay asleep for longer, beating placebo and Sanofi’s insomnia med Ambien in a phase 2b study. The Waltham, Massachusetts-based biotech is developing seltorexant with Janssen as an add-on treatment for major depressive disorder and insomnia disorder. While Ambien (zolpidem) activates the GABAA receptor to treat insomnia, seltorexant works by blocking the orexin-2 receptor. The orexin system promotes wakefulness and is believed to have a hand in excessive arousal in patients with insomnia as well as some patients with mood disorders.
