MediciNova Announces Completion of Enrollment in a Phase II/III Generalized Anxiety Disorder Trial With MN-305

, a specialty
pharmaceutical company that is publicly traded on the Hercules Market of the
Osaka Securities Exchange (Code Number: 4875), today announced completion of
enrollment in its Phase II/III clinical trial of MN-305 in 416 patients with
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). This orally bioavailable compound has shown preliminary
evidence of efficacy in animal models of anxiety and in an open-label study
conducted in Japan by Mitsubishi Pharma Corporation in a group of patients
with a variety of anxiety disorders. This anxiety disorder is characterized by
the presence of excessive, uncontrollable anxiety and worry about two or more
life circumstances for six months or longer, accompanied by some combination
of restlessness, fatigue, muscle tension, irritability, disturbed
concentration or sleep, and somatic symptoms.com.C.
