THE MARKET REACTION
On December 17, 2025, Vistagen announced that its Phase 3 clinical study did not demonstrate a statistically significant improvement on the primary endpoint. The trial did not achieve its primary endpoint, and there was no treatment difference between the drug candidate and placebo for the secondary endpoints.
The market reacted swiftly and dramatically. The price of Vistagen's common stock declined from a closing price of $4.36 per share on December 16, 2025 to $0.86 per share on December 17, 2025 — a decline of more than 80%, representing a loss of $3.50 per share.
ANALYST REACTIONS
According to the complaint, analysts reacted immediately to the disclosure. A Jefferies analyst noted that a pattern was emerging where the drug's efficacy remained fairly consistent across studies while the placebo response remained variable, raising questions about where the true placebo rate should trend.
A William Blair analyst downgraded the shares, characterizing the Phase 3 miss as "disappointing" and expressing uncertainty about whether the drug candidate is an active agent for the acute treatment of the disorder.
