Cingulate’s Lead ADHD Candidate CTx-1301 Selected for Podium Presentation at AACAP Annual Meeting
Presentation by ADHD expert Dr. Ann Childress to highlight Phase 3 findings supporting the potential for true, entire active-day symptom control
KANSAS CITY, Kan., Oct. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cingulate Inc. (NASDAQ: CING), a biopharmaceutical company developing and advancing a pipeline of next-generation pharmaceutical products utilizing its proprietary Precision Timed Release™ (PTR™) drug-delivery platform, today announced that data from its lead ADHD candidate CTx-1301 (dexmethylphenidate HCl) has been selected for podium presentation at the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) Annual Meeting in Chicago. This recognition highlights growing scientific interest in CTx-1301, a once-daily, extended-release formulation designed to simplify treatment for millions living with ADHD.
The Phase 3 data will be presented by Ann Childress, M.D., a leading ADHD specialist and past President of the American Professional Society of ADHD and Related Disorders (APSARD). Her presentation, “Efficacy and Safety of CTx-1301 in Pediatric Subjects With ADHD,” is scheduled for Friday, October 24, 2025.
“We look forward to presenting the results of this pivotal trial at AACAP, a premier scientific forum for child and adolescent psychiatry,” said Dr. Childress. “The data provide valuable insights into CTx-1301’s ability to deliver symptom relief with the convenience of once-daily dosing.”
“Selection for an AACAP podium presentation is a meaningful acknowledgment of the scientific rigor behind our Phase 3 program,” said Raul Silva, M.D., Chief Science Officer of Cingulate. “CTx-1301 was designed to help address well-documented limitations in current stimulant therapies — such as delayed onset, inconsistent duration, and the need for multiple daily doses — with the goal of improving function for individuals living with ADHD.”
The session will be livestreamed and available on demand at aacap.confex.com. Results from the study will be discussed in detail during the presentation and summarized in a follow-up company announcement following the conference.
About Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
ADHD is a chronic neurodevelopmental disorder affecting an estimated 20 million individuals in the U.S., including approximately 8 million children and 12 million adults. The condition is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that impair academic, professional, and social functioning. Stimulant medications remain the gold-standard therapy; however, most currently available extended-release formulations require multiple doses per day and often fail to provide consistent coverage across the entire active day.
About CTx-1301
CTx-1301 (dexmethylphenidate HCl) is a once-daily, multi-core tablet utilizing Cingulate’s proprietary Precision Timed Release™ (PTR™) platform to deliver three precisely timed releases of active medication across the day. This design aims to provide rapid onset of effect and entire active-day duration. CTx-1301 is being evaluated for the treatment of ADHD under the FDA’s 505(b)(2) pathway.
