Vistagen targets FDA path to Phase 3 for fasedienol after subgroup signal

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Positive signals (FDA pathway discussions, leadership additions, subgroup efficacy signal) could lead to multiple expansion if the registrational plan progresses; risk remains due to lack of primary endpoint success and ongoing losses. Historical analogs show small-cap biotech often gaps higher on regulatory milestones even when primary endpoints fail, though many also retrace if guidance proves uncertain.
