In a note published following the release of the company's Q2 2023 print on 2023/08/07, the analyst said he made the moves to reflect the FDA's rejection of zuranolone for the treatment of major depressive disorder* (MDD) and "uncertainty resulting from this outcome."
"Fresh from this unfortunate outcome," management did not provide many details on a path forward in MDD during the earnings call other than to appeal the rejection using conventional channels, Kulkarni reported.
Looking ahead, besides zuranolone clinical-trial-related data, other catalysts are "some time off," the analyst noted.

On 2023/08/07, Sage Therapeutics reported:
Management guided:
CEO Barry Greene commented: “We are currently at a tipping point with the burden and prevalence of brain health conditions accelerating at an alarming rate. The need has never been greater than it is today and our team is singularly focused on changing the trajectory of these devastating diseases through our development efforts and novel pipeline.
“We were delighted to receive U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for ZURZUVAE as the first-and-only oral treatment specifically indicated for adults with postpartum depression (PPD), the most common medical complication of childbirth. We believe the need for new treatment options for women with PPD is a significant medical need and presents a strong business opportunity.
"While we were very disappointed by the recent Complete Response Letter (CRL) we received from the FDA regarding zuranolone in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), we are reviewing the feedback from the FDA and evaluating our next steps.”
“While we believe we are well capitalized, given the impact of the CRL for zuranolone in MDD on our plans, we are currently evaluating resource allocation, including pipeline prioritization and a workforce reorganization with a goal of extending our cash runway.
"With a right-sized organization and portfolio, we believe we have an opportunity to emerge as an even stronger company. We plan to provide greater detail and next steps before the end of Q3."
