Item 9.01 Other Events.

VistaGen Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) today announced the initiation of ELEVATE, the Company’s double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AV-101 (L-4-chlorokynurenine) as an adjunctive treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (“MDD”) in patients with an inadequate response to current antidepressants approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). AV-101, the Company’s oral N-methyl-D-aspartate (“NMDA”) receptor glycine B (“GlyB”) antagonist, belongs to a new generation of investigational medicines in neuropsychiatry known as glutamate receptor modulators that have the potential to treat MDD faster than current FDA-approved antidepressants. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
