Neuropsychiatric Drug Development

With the huge unmet clinical need in neuropsychiatry and despite multiple approved pharmaceuticals available, the development of the next generation of neuropsychiatric drugs is essential. Historically, drug development within neuropsychiatry has been stifled for decades by a lack of scientific progress in the neuropsychiatric field combined with costly and challenging clinical trials. The abundance of excitement and scientific progress in the field – especially with the recent approval of esketamine – will be captured at the NPD meeting, as well as unravelling the complexities of developing truly transformative neuropsychiatric drugs.
