Sage Therapeutics, Inc. shares were halted this past Friday as an advisory panel to the FDA has recommended the company's experimental treatment for postpartum depression. In an overwhelming 17-1 vote, the panel was in favor of Zulresso, an injectable treatment as the benefits outweigh the risk. The treatment is aimed to treat major episodes of depression during pregnancy or within four weeks after delivery. Panel member Felipe Jain stated, "I believe that (Zulresso) may be a game changer in the treatment of postpartum depression. This is what hope looks like." The panel has however applied a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) program to improve the safety of the product. Another panel member, Steven Meisel has said there is a need for a "black box" warning which highlights the risks of patients hurting themselves or their babies because of losing consciousness. Certain patients on the treatment had lost consciousness.
