Japan-based Nxera Pharma is seeking buyers for its Phase II-ready schizophrenia programme after Boehringer Ingelheim decided not to exercise a licensing option.

Boehringer Ingelheim, which held exclusive rights to license the neurological disorder portfolio of GPR52 agonists, did not provide further information to Nxera. Rights to the programme will now revert to the Japanese biotech.

Nxera said it is now exploring strategic opportunities for the programme, including a licensing partnership with a major pharmaceutical or specialist neuroscience company in 2026. Despite the hitch, Nxera said there will be no financial impact.
