“We are honored to have formed a partnership with Erase PTSD Now and to have been chosen by Glenn and Linda’s Foundation for such a tremendous gift to advance our drug trials. We are currently in a Phase I safety study and these funds will allow us to make significant progress and prepare for the Phase II trials,” commented
“We have a highly respected record of helping Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) patients. We are excited to work with Odyssey and our PTSD sufferers to better understand the link between concussion and PTSD. Like Odyssey’s scientific team, we believe that if our veterans are treated early on with a brain-targeted agent they will have better psychological outcomes,” commented, Dr.
Glen and Linda have a passion for helping military veterans. They recognize the unique medical conditions they face and how vital it is that they receive specialty care. Unfortunately, many veterans develop PTSD. PTSD symptoms can include unwanted memories, depression, anxiety, avoidance behaviors and panic disorder. Worst of all, PTSD is associated with a higher incidence of suicide. Glenn and Linda’s Foundation works directly with the
Concussions have been linked to the increased incidence of PTSD. Odyssey is developing the first pharmaceutical to treat concussion in the acute phase of injury. A field deliverable intranasal device filled with their drug, PRV-002 can be kept in the medic’s bag or the soldier’s pocket for “buddy” aid immediately following a concussion. Reducing inflammation of the brain early on can significantly improve outcomes and return our soldiers back to action faster and more safely.

About PRV-002
PRV-002 is a fully synthetic non-naturally occurring neurosteroid being developed for the treatment of mTBI (concussion). In preclinical studies, PRV-002 has demonstrated equivalent, if not superior, neuroprotective effects compared to related neurosteroids. Animal models of concussion demonstrated that PRV-002 reduces the behavioral pathology associated with brain injury symptoms such as memory impairment, anxiety, and motor/sensory performance. Additionally, PRV-002 is lipophilic and can easily cross the blood-brain barrier to rapidly eliminate swelling, oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain while restoring proper blood flow.
