(i)Licensee shall be solely responsible for and shall use Angelini Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct, at its sole expense, all Development activities that are exclusively for the benefit of one or more countries within the Licensee Territory for the Initial Indication, including (A) any and all Development activities required or recommended by a Regulatory Authority for the exclusive benefit of the Licensee Territory, including any Phase 4 Clinical Trials for the Initial Indication in the Licensee Territory, and (B) any and all Development activities required for any Pricing and Reimbursement Approval in the Licensee Territory.

(ii) Licensee shall be solely responsible for the Additional Pivotal Trial, and for the Phase 4 Clinical Trials of the Product in the Licensee Territory, but Licensee shall bear [***] and Ovid shall bear [***] of the Development Costs for the Development Activities for the Additional Pivotal Trial, up to a total amount of [***], and for any Additional Pivotal Trial Development Costs in excess of [***] Licensee shall bear [***] and Ovid shall bear [***].

(iii)The activities specified in the foregoing subsections (i) and (ii) shall be referred to collectively as the “Licensee Territory Development Activities”. Prior to commencing any Licensee Territory Development Activities, Licensee shall provide the CGB with a draft workplan therefor, and following review and approval of such Licensee Territory Development activities by the CGB, such Licensee Territory Development Activities shall be included in and conducted in accordance with the Development Plan, subject to the oversight of the CGB and JPT as set forth in Article 3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Licensee shall consider in good faith and incorporate Ovid’s reasonable comments on any proposed Licensee Territory Development Activities.

(d)Joint Development Activities for Initial Indication and Second Indication. The Development Plan shall set forth the timeline and details ([***]) of all preclinical (if any) and clinical Development activities ([***]) to be conducted jointly by the Parties in order to generate Data sufficient to meet the common requirements of the FDA, EMA, and other Regulatory Authorities agreed upon by the Parties for MAA Approval of the Compound and Products for each of the Initial Indication and eventually and separately for the Second Indication, ([***]) (such activities, the “Joint Development Activities”). All Joint Development Activities shall be included in and conducted in accordance with the Development Plan, subject to the oversight of the CGB and JPT as set forth in Article 3. The Development Plan shall also set forth the allocation of responsibility for all Joint Development Activities as between the Parties. All Development Costs Associated with Joint Development Activities shall be borne in accordance with Section 8.2(a).

(i)Second Indication Opt-Out. If Licensee determines, at its sole and absolute discretion, within [***], not to pursue further additional Development activities with respect to the Second Indication, Licensee shall have the right to exercise the Second Indication Opt-Out, exercisable by written notice to Ovid. The Second Indication Opt-Out shall be effective as of the date of such notice. If Licensee exercises the Second Indication Opt-Out, then the definition of Field shall automatically be deemed to not include the Second Indication, provided

that if Ovid undertakes to submit an MAA for the Product for the Second Indication in the Licensee Territory it shall do so with a trademark other than the Trademark for the Initial Indication.

(ii)Second Indication Opt-In. In any case, after Licensee has made the Second Indication Opt-Out, Licensee will have the right, at any time as below and for any reason, to exercise the Second Indication Opt-In, exercisable by written notice to Ovid [***]. The Second Indication Opt-In shall be effective as of the date of such notice. If Licensee makes the Second Indication Opt-In, then Licensee shall reimburse to Ovid an amount equal to [***] of all Development Costs incurred by Ovid in the conduct of Development activities for the Second Indication during the period of Licensee’s Second Indication Opt-Out, and [***] of all Development Costs incurred for such Development activities following the Second Indication Opt-In. Then the definition of Field shall automatically be deemed to include the Second Indication

(f)Regulatory Filings. The Development Plan shall include a coordinated Development and regulatory strategy, including the Parties’ respective roles in the development of the registration dossier and Regulatory Filings for the Products, and the countries in which Clinical Trials of the Products will occur. All costs associated with regulatory activities in connection with Regulatory Filings and obtaining MAA Approval for Products in the Licensee Territory shall be borne solely by Licensee.

(g)Updates. During the Term (at least on a [***] basis), the JPT shall review the Development Plan and prepare updates and amendments, as appropriate, to the then-current Development Plan, including budgets, and submit such updates and amendments to the CGB for review and approval. If the CGB determines that any pre-clinical studies or Clinical Trials not included in the Development Plan are required in order to obtain or maintain MAA Approval for a Product for the Initial Indication in one or more countries in the Licensee Territory, then the CGB shall review and approve an amendment to the Development Plan reflecting such additional studies, including associated budget. Such additional Development activities for the Initial Indication shall be either Licensee Territory Development Activities or Joint Development Activities and the costs of such additional studies shall be borne by the Parties as provided in Section 4.5(a).

(a)Proposal. If either Party (the “Proposing Party”) desires to pursue additional Development of a Product in order to seek Regulatory Approval of the Product in one or more Additional Indications for the benefit of (a) the Ovid Territory and Licensee Territory in the case of Ovid, or (b) the Licensee Territory in the case of Licensee, in each case beyond what is set forth in the then-current Development Plan, then such Party shall provide the other Party (the “Reviewing Party”) with a written detailed plan and budget for such additional work (the “Proposal”). Within [***] after the Reviewing Party’s receipt of the Proposal (or at such other time as the Parties may mutually agree), the JPT shall meet to review and discuss in good faith the Proposal and permit the Reviewing Party an opportunity to ask questions and request additional information from the Proposing Party related to the Proposal, including whether such Proposal is reasonably likely to have any adverse effect on the Development or Commercialization of the Product in the Reviewing Party’s territory. No work under any Proposal shall proceed unless and until (i) the CGB determines in its reasonable discretion that such Proposal is not likely to

adversely affect the Development or Commercialization of the Product in the Reviewing Party’s territory, and (ii) in the case of Licensee as the Proposing Party, Ovid consents in writing to such activities being included as Joint Development Activities, or to Licensee performing such additional Development as Licensee Territory Development Activities (where such Development Activities solely and specifically relate to the Licensee Territory), or as Independent Development Activities, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. For clarity, (i) Licensee’s final decision right under Section 3.4(b)(ii) shall not apply to Licensee Territory Development Activities proposed in connection of initiation of Development for any Additional Indication, but once Development Activities have been commenced in such Additional Indication in and for the Licensee Territory, any further Licensee Territory Development Activities proposed by Licensee in respect of such Additional Indication shall be subject to the process set forth in Section 4.2(b) and (ii) Ovid will not develop in the Licensee Territory any Product in additional indications other than Rare Diseases without Licensee’s prior written consent. Following each such determination and, if applicable, consent, the CGB shall incorporate such additional Development activities and the corresponding budget into the Development Plan (the “Additional Development Activities”).

(b)Costs. If the Parties jointly agree to conduct Additional Development Activities, such Additional Development Activities shall be included in the Development Plan and conducted as Joint Development Activities, subject to the allocation of responsibility for leading such activities set forth in Section 4.3(c), and the costs of such Joint Development Activities shall be shared as further set forth in Section 8.2(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Additional Development Activities that would otherwise be Joint Development Activities (if the Parties agreed to conduct such activities together), the Reviewing Party may elect, at its discretion, and by written notice delivered to the Proposing Party within [***] following the receipt of the Proposal, to opt out of funding its share of the Development Costs for such Additional Development Activities. Upon such an election, such Additional Development Activities shall be deemed the “Independent Development Activities” of the Proposing Party and the Proposing Party may pursue such work subject to the remainder of this Section 4.3, and the Development Costs with respect thereto shall be Independent Development Costs subject to Section 8.2(b).

(c)Conduct of Additional Development Activities. In general, except as the Parties may agree in an amendment to the Development Plan, including to allocate specific activities to Licensee in the Licensee Territory, (i) Ovid shall be the lead Party responsible for conducting Additional Development Activities that relate to both the Ovid Territory and the Licensee Territory, provided that such activities shall be subject to the oversight of the CGB to the extent such activities impact the Licensee Territory, and (ii) Licensee shall be the lead Party responsible for conducting Additional Development Activities that relate to the Licensee Territory and not the Ovid Territory.

(d)Independent Development Activities. The CGB shall amend the Development Plan to include any Additional Development Activities in the Rare Diseases indications that are Independent Development Activities, and thereafter the Proposing Party may conduct such Independent Development Activities, provided that: (i) the Proposing Party shall have the right to make the final decision in the event of any dispute regarding the conduct of the Independent Development Activities, except to the extent that, where the Proposing Party is Licensee, Ovid reasonably believes that Licensee’s exercise of such right would adversely impact Ovid’s Development and Commercialization of Products outside the Licensee Territory, (ii) the

Proposing Party shall have the right to make the final decision in the event of any dispute regarding the conduct of the Independent Development Activities, except to the extent that, where the Proposing Party is Ovid, Licensee reasonably believes that Ovid’s exercise of such right would adversely impact Licensee’s Development and Commercialization of Products in the Licensee Territory, (iii) to the extent applicable to the Licensee Territory, Independent Development Activities shall be conducted in accordance with the amended Development Plan, (iv) the Proposing Party shall provide updates to the CGB with respect to such Independent Development Activities impacting the Licensee Territory at each regularly scheduled CGB meeting, and (v) neither Party shall conduct any Independent Development Activities in a manner that would have any adverse effect on the Development or Commercialization of the Product in either Party’s territory. The Investigator initiated trials (IIT) proposed to each Party for the Licensee Territory shall be discussed and agreed between the Parties before providing feedback to the proposing Investigator. The Party receiving the proposal will be responsible for the costs to support the IIT unless a different specific agreement is entered among the Parties. For sake of clarity, Independent Development Activities shall not include indications other than Rare Disease.

(e)Ovid’s Right to Develop. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Ovid shall have the right to conduct any Development activities with respect to the Compound or Product in or relating to the Ovid Territory outside the scope of the Development Plan. Such Development activities shall be at Ovid’s expense and Licensee shall have the right of reference to the Safety Data generated in such Development activities as necessary for regulatory purposes without any reimbursement obligation to Ovid.

4.4Annual Update to Development Budget. The CGB shall review, discuss, and, with respect to Joint Development Activities, agree upon the subsequent year’s Development Budget on an annual basis no later than [***] of each year.

(a)Licensee Territory Development Costs. Licensee shall be solely responsible for all Development Costs incurred in connection with Licensee Territory Development Activities, except as provided in Section 4.2(c)(ii) with respect to the Additional Pivotal Study.

(b)Joint Development Costs. The Development Costs associated with all Joint Development Activities that are shared by the Parties in accordance with Section 8.2(a) shall include Allowable Increases. “Allowable Increases” means increased Development Costs resulting from [***].

(c)Independent Development Costs. The Party conducting Independent Development Activities pursuant to Section 4.3 shall be solely responsible for all Independent Development Costs as provided in Section 8.2(b).

4.6Development Responsibilities. Ovid shall be responsible for, and shall use Ovid Commercially Reasonable Efforts in connection with, the conduct of the Ovid Ongoing Trials. Licensee shall be responsible for the conduct of the Licensee Territory Development Activities, other than Additional Pivotal Study which shall be shared by the Parties as set forth in Section

4.2(c)(ii). The Parties shall each be responsible for the conduct of the Joint Development Activities, and the allocation of such agreed responsibility therefore (including which Party shall be the Sponsor for each applicable Clinical Trial), shall be set forth in the Development Plan. Each Party shall have the operational responsibility and be the Sponsor for its own Independent Development Activities.

(a)General. With respect to all Joint Development Activities, Licensee Territory Development Activities, and Independent Development Activities (but subject to Section 4.7(c)), each Party shall promptly provide the other Party with [***]. The Parties shall cooperate [***] to facilitate the sharing of reports, Data, and other information on a routine basis.

(b)Joint Development Activities Data. Each Party shall have the right to use and reference, without additional consideration, any and all Data generated by or on behalf of the other Party (including by any Sublicensee) in the performance of Joint Development Activities for obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approval for the Products and Commercializing the Products in its territory in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Licensee fail to obtain the foregoing use and reference rights from any Sublicensee, Licensee shall not have the right to grant use and access or other rights to such Sublicensee to any Data or other documentation provided to Licensee by Ovid pursuant to Section 4.7(a).

(c)Independent and Licensee Territory Development Activities Data. The Party receiving Data resulting from the other Party’s Independent Development Activities shall have the right to use such Data only to the extent reasonably necessary for the receiving Party to comply with its regulatory reporting and compliance obligations, including safety reporting obligations. Licensee shall have the right to use such Data only to support its own Development, Regulatory Approval, or Commercialization of the Product in the Field in such Party’s territory for the Initial Indication unless Licensee reimburses Ovid for Licensee’s share of Development Costs pursuant to Section 8.2(b). Ovid shall have the right to use Data resulting from the Licensee Territory Development Activities as necessary for Ovid or its Affiliates or licensees (other than Licensee) to comply with its regulatory reporting and compliance obligations, including safety reporting obligations, and to support its own Development, Regulatory Approval, or Commercialization of the Product in the Ovid Territory.

Such records shall fully and properly reflect all work done and results achieved in the performance of the Development activities in good scientific manner appropriate for regulatory and patent purposes. Each Party shall document all non-clinical studies and Clinical Trials and/or Studies in formal written study reports according to Applicable Laws and national and international guidelines (e.g., ICH, GCP, GLP, and GMP).

4.11Development Reports. At each regularly scheduled JPT meeting, each Party shall provide the JPT with regular reports detailing its Development activities for the Products under this Agreement, and the results of such activities. In addition, after the completion of any Clinical Trial or other study of the Products, the Party responsible for the conduct of such Clinical Trial or study shall promptly provide the other Party with a data package consisting of, at a minimum, [***], as well as any other Data specified in the Development Plan or otherwise agreed by the Parties. The Parties shall discuss the status, progress, and results of each Party’s Development activities under this Agreement at such JPT meetings.

4.12Use of Subcontractors. Each Party may perform its Development activities under this Agreement through one or more subcontractors, provided that (a) such Party will remain responsible for the work allocated to, and payment to, such subcontractors to the same extent it would if it had done such work itself, (b) each subcontractor undertakes in writing obligations of confidentiality and non-use regarding Confidential Information that are substantially the same as those undertaken by the Parties pursuant to Article 13, (c) each subcontractor agrees in writing to assign all intellectual property developed in the course of performing any such work to such Party (or, in the event such assignment is not feasible, a license to such intellectual property with the right to sublicense to such other Party), and (d) in the case of Licensee engaging any subcontractor to conduct significant activities under this Agreement (e.g., a contract research organization to manage a Clinical Trial), Licensee will be responsible for the selection of the subcontractor and will inform Ovid on the selection process including the criteria applied and shall first obtain Ovid’s written consent to such subcontractor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Parties may also subcontract work on terms other than those set forth in this Section 4.12 with the prior approval of the CGB.

4.13Restrictions. During the Term, neither Party nor any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees shall, directly or through any Third Party, sponsor, conduct, cause to be conducted, otherwise assist in, supply any Product for use in connection with, or otherwise fund any research or Development of any Product in the Licensee Territory outside the scope of the Development Plan. For clarity and without limiting the foregoing, if Licensee wishes to perform or sponsor any study or test on the Compound or Products, including any pre-clinical or non-clinical study, toxicology study, CMC-related study, or comparator study, Licensee shall first prepare and provide to Ovid for Ovid’s approval a Proposal detailing such study in accordance with Section 4.3.

4.14Materials Transfer. In order to facilitate the Development activities contemplated by this Agreement, either Party may provide to the other Party certain biological materials or chemical compounds Controlled by the supplying Party (collectively, “Materials”) for use by the other Party in furtherance of such Development activities. Except as otherwise provided for under this Agreement, all such Materials delivered to the other Party will remain the sole property of the supplying Party, and will be used only in furtherance of the Development activities conducted in accordance with this Agreement, will not be used or delivered to or for the benefit of any Third Party, except to subcontractors, without the prior written consent of the supplying Party, and will be used in compliance with all Applicable Laws. The Materials supplied under this Agreement must be used with prudence and appropriate caution in any experimental work because not all of their characteristics may be known.

For the purposes of this Agreement, “right of reference” means the “right of reference or use” as defined in 21 C.F.R. §314.3(b) and any equivalent regulation outside the U.S., as each may be amended.

(i)Licensee shall promptly provide Ovid with copies of any Regulatory Filings prepared (including any drafts), submitted, or received by Licensee in the Licensee Territory pertaining to the Compound and Products, and Ovid shall have the right to comment on drafts of such Regulatory Filings. Licensee shall share with Ovid the following communications/correspondence with any Regulatory Authority: (1) [***], (2) [***], and (3) [***] relating to the Compound or Product. If any Regulatory Filing to be provided under this Section 5.1(c) was originally created in a language other than the English language, then Licensee shall provide an English translation along with the original document to Ovid. Licensee shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to grant to Ovid access and rights to use any such communications with any Regulatory Authority generated by or on behalf of any Sublicensee. Should Licensee fail to obtain such access and rights from any Sublicensee despite the application of Commercially Reasonable Efforts, Licensee shall not have the right to grant access or rights to such Sublicensee to any Regulatory Filing or right of reference granted to Licensee by Ovid pursuant to Section 5.1(b).

(ii)Licensee hereby grants to Ovid a right of reference to all Regulatory Filings for the Compound and Products submitted by or on behalf of Licensee. Ovid may use such right of reference to seek, obtain, and maintain Regulatory Approval of the Products in the Ovid Territory, except that Ovid may use such right of reference to any Regulatory Filings based on Data resulting from Licensee’s Independent Development Activities only to comply with its safety reporting obligations, unless Ovid reimburses Licensee for such work as set forth in Section 8.2(b).

5.2Meetings with Regulatory Authorities. On a current and ongoing basis, each Party (through the JPT) shall provide the other Party with a list and schedule of any in-person meeting or material teleconference with Regulatory Authorities (or related advisory committees) in the Licensee Territory planned for [***] that relates to the Development of the Compound and Products under the Development Plan in the Licensee Territory (each, a “Regulatory Meeting”). In addition, each Party shall notify the other Party as soon as reasonably possible if such Party becomes aware of any additional Regulatory Meetings that become scheduled for such Calendar Quarter and will keep the other Party informed of any significant interface or communication with any Regulatory Authority which might affect efforts to obtain Regulatory Approval for the Product in the Licensee Territory. Each Party shall be solely responsible for any communications with any Regulatory Authorities occurring or required in connection with performing its regulatory responsibilities set forth in this Article 5 with respect to the Product in the Licensee Territory. With respect to Regulatory Meetings for which Licensee is the responsible Party, Ovid shall have the right to comment in preparation for all such Regulatory Meetings and the right, but not the obligation, to have its representatives attend any such Regulatory Meetings.

5.3Regulatory Inspections. Licensee shall permit the Regulatory Authority(ies) in the Ovid Territory to conduct inspections of Licensee, its Affiliates, and its Sublicensees and subcontractors (including Clinical Trial sites) relating to the Development of the Product under the Development Plan, and shall ensure that such Affiliates and Sublicensees and subcontractors permit such inspections. In addition, Licensee shall promptly notify Ovid of any such inspection and shall supply Ovid with all information pertinent thereto. Ovid shall have the right to have a representative attend any such inspection. Ovid shall permit the Regulatory Authority(ies) in the

Licensee Territory to conduct inspections of Licensee, its Affiliates, and its Sublicensees and subcontractors (including Clinical Trial sites) relating to the Development of the Product in the Licensee Territory under the Development Plan, and shall ensure that such Affiliates and Sublicensees and subcontractors permit such inspections. In addition, Ovid shall promptly notify the Licensee of any such inspection in the Licensee Territory and shall supply the Licensee with all information pertinent thereto. The Licensee shall have the right to have a representative attend any such inspection.

5.4Adverse Event Reporting; Pharmacovigilance Agreement. [***] after the Effective Date, the Parties shall enter into a pharmacovigilance agreement setting forth the worldwide pharmacovigilance procedures for the Parties with respect to the Products, such as Safety Data sharing, adverse event reporting, and safety signal and risk management (the “Pharmacovigilance Agreement”), which agreement shall be amended by the Parties from time to time as necessary to comply with any changes in Applicable Laws or any guidance received from Regulatory Authorities. Such procedures shall be in accordance with, and enable the Parties to fulfill, local and national regulatory reporting obligations under Applicable Laws (including, to the extent applicable, those obligations contained in ICH guidelines) to monitor patients’ safety. Ovid has established, and shall continue to hold (either by itself or through a vendor engaged by Ovid) the global safety database for the Products, and shall maintain such global safety database for so long as such Product is under Development or Commercialization by the Parties. The Parties envision that Ovid will separately maintain the Product global safety database and Licensee will maintain its own Product safety database with respect to the Licensee Territory and the Parties will synchronize the Product databases in accordance with the Pharmacovigilance Agreement so that they each maintain all Product safety data; however, the Parties agree that the Ovid global safety database will be the source for all periodic reports. Ovid shall [***] from its database and Licensee will maintain [***] its own Product safety database. The CGB shall establish a safety subcommittee to draft the Pharmacovigilance Agreement to define the process for exchanging adverse event reports using the Ovid global safety database, as well as periodic reports, regulatory communication, and other key elements. The Parties will collaboratively agree on data cut points for periodic safety reports and Ovid will review and approve all such reports. The Parties will jointly review and approve such reports before submission to Regulatory Authorities in the Licensee Territory as required. Such safety subcommittee shall implement the Pharmacovigilance Agreement and coordinate with respect to any Safety Data reporting for the Products to the Regulatory Authorities in the Licensee Territory including, responding to safety issues, communicating with Regulatory Authorities related to the Products under any MAA or Regulatory Approval for the Product held by such Party and filed with such Regulatory Authorities, including maintaining the qualified person for Pharmacovigilance and individual case safety report processing, in each case at its own cost. Each Party agrees to comply with its respective obligations under the Pharmacovigilance Agreement and to cause its Affiliates, licensees, and Sublicensees to comply with such obligations.

5.5No Harmful Actions. If a Party reasonably believes that the other Party is taking or intends to take any action with respect to a Product that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact upon the regulatory status of such Product in such Party’s territory, then such Party may bring the matter to the attention of the CGB and the Parties shall discuss in good faith to promptly resolve such concern.

5.6Notification of Threatened Action. Each Party shall notify the other Party within twenty-four (24) hours of any information it receives regarding any threatened or pending action, inspection, or communication by any Regulatory Authority which may affect the safety or efficacy claims of any Product or the continued Development or Commercialization of any Product. Upon receipt of such information, the Parties shall promptly consult with each other in an effort to arrive at a mutually acceptable procedure for taking appropriate action.

5.7Recalls. In the event that a recall, withdrawal, or correction (including the dissemination of relevant information) of any Product in a Party’s territory is required by a Regulatory Authority of competent jurisdiction, or if any Regulatory Authority requires or advises either Party or such Party’s Affiliates or sublicensees to distribute a “Dear Doctor” letter or its equivalent regarding use of such Product in a Party’s territory, or if a recall, withdraw, or correction of a Product in its territory is deemed advisable by such Party in its sole discretion, such Party shall so notify the other Party no later than [***] in advance of the earlier of (a) [***], or (b) [***]. Any such recall, withdrawal, correction, or dissemination of information (e.g., “Dear Doctor” letter) shall be referred to herein as a “Recall”. Promptly after being notified of a Recall, each Party shall provide the other Party with such assistance in connection with such Recall as may be reasonably requested by such other Party. All costs and expenses in connection with a Recall [***]. Each Party shall handle exclusively the organization and implementation of all Recalls of Products in its territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Recall related to the manufacture and supply of the Product by Ovid to Licensee shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Supply Agreement.

Licensee shall use Angelini Commercially Reasonable Efforts to launch the Product for each Indication that has received Regulatory Approval and, if required by Applicable Law, Pricing and Reimbursement Approval in the Licensee Territory (including any Indication that received Regulatory Approval as a result of Ovid’s Independent Development Activities). As applicable, Licensee shall obtain all necessary Pricing and Reimbursement Approvals necessary to list and to launch such Product for such Indication following receipt of MAA Approval of such Product in a country. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensee shall use Angelini Commercially Reasonable Efforts to launch the Product in each country in the Licensee Territory within [***] after receiving Regulatory Approval, or, where required by Applicable Law, after the publication of the Pricing and Reimbursement Approval, of the Product for an Indication from the applicable Regulatory Authority in such country. Thereafter, Licensee shall utilize Commercially Reasonable Efforts in the ongoing support for such Product in such country.

(c)Commercial Updates. Licensee shall update the CGB on [***] basis regarding its Commercialization activities with respect to the Products in the Licensee Territory. Each such update shall be in a form to be agreed by the CGB and shall summarize Licensee’s and its Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’ significant Commercialization activities with respect to the Products in the Licensee Territory, and shall contain at least such information at a level of detail reasonably required by Ovid to determine Licensee’s compliance with its diligence obligations set forth in this Section 6.3. Such updates shall include Licensee’s sales activities, sales forecasts for at least the next [***], marketing activities, and Medical Affairs Activities.

(a)Generally. The Parties, through the CGB (or JPT or other designated team), shall update each other on Commercialization strategies for the Product (e.g., for market and payor research, branding and messaging, international congresses, advisory boards) in their respective territories, and the Parties shall work together to identify and take advantage of any

potential global strategies and messaging. The foregoing shall not be construed as requiring either Party to seek the other Party’s consent in connection with such first Party establishing or implementing any sales, marketing, or medical affairs practices in such first Party’s territory.

(b)Pricing. Following the CGB discussion and processes, Licensee shall keep Ovid timely informed on the status of any application for Pricing and Reimbursement Approval or material updates to an existing Pricing and Reimbursement Approval in the Licensee Territory, including any discussion with a Regulatory Authority with respect thereto.

(c)Sharing of Promotional Materials. Licensee shall, at its own expense, prepare, develop, produce, or otherwise obtain and utilize sales, promotional, advertising, marketing, website, educational, and training materials (the “Promotional Materials”) to support its Commercialization activities in the Licensee Territory, and shall ensure that such Promotional Materials, as well as all information contained therein, comply with all Applicable Laws and are consistent with the Regulatory Approvals obtained for the Product in the applicable jurisdiction in the Licensee Territory. At Ovid’s request, Licensee shall share samples of and updates to Promotional Materials with respect to the Commercialization of the Products with Ovid.

(a)Coordination of Global Medical Affairs Activities. Ovid shall be responsible for all Medical Affairs Activities for the Product in the Ovid Territory in accordance with the medical affairs portion of the Development Plan. Licensee shall be responsible for Medical Affairs Activities in the Licensee Territory in accordance with the medical affairs portion of the Development Plan, provided, however, that Ovid shall have the right, but not the obligation, to also conduct Medical Affairs Activities in the Licensee Territory in global support of the Product, consistent with the medical affairs portion of the Development Plan and in coordination and agreement with Licensee, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Licensee will not undertake Medical Affairs Activities in the Ovid Territory without Ovid’s prior written consent, to be given on a case-by-case basis in Ovid’s sole discretion.

(b)Advisory Panels. To the extent practicable, each Party shall give the other Party written notice at least [***] in advance of any major market or international level advisory panel meetings with key opinion leaders with respect to the Commercialization of the Products in the Licensee Territory and the Ovid Territory that are held, sponsored, or attended by either Party or its Affiliate or sublicensee, and each Party shall have the right to attend and participate in such meetings with the consent of the other Party.

(c)Medical Information. Ovid will provide Licensee with any relevant materials developed by Ovid for the Product in the Ovid Territory for medical information, including reports of collected and answered inquires, which Licensee may use in connection with medical affairs activities in the Licensee Territory. For clarity, Ovid shall provide such materials in the form used by Ovid in the Ovid Territory.

(d)Scientific Training. At times reasonably agreed by the Parties, Ovid will deliver the onboarding scientific training to Licensee’s medical and commercial team and to share updates with respect to the Commercialization of the Product. Each Party shall bear its own cost in relation to such meetings.

6.6Diversion. To enforce the Parties’ respective rights and obligations set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.4, and 2.8 of the Agreement, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Party hereby covenants and agrees that it and its Affiliates shall not, and it shall contractually obligate (and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to enforce such contractual obligation) its sublicensees not to, directly or indirectly, promote, market, distribute, import, sell, or have sold any Product, including via the Internet or mail order, to any Third Party or to any address or Internet Protocol address or the like in the other Party’s territory. Neither Party shall engage, nor permit its Affiliates and sublicensees to engage, in any advertising or promotional activities relating to any Product for use directed primarily to customers or other buyers or users of such Product located in any country or jurisdiction in the other Party’s territory, or solicit orders from any prospective purchaser located in any country or jurisdiction in the other Party’s territory. If a Party or its Affiliates or sublicensees receives any order for a Product for use from a prospective purchaser located in a country or jurisdiction in the other Party’s territory, such Party shall immediately refer that order to such other Party and shall not accept any such orders. Neither Party shall, nor permit its Affiliates and sublicensees to, deliver or tender (or cause to be delivered or tendered) any Product for use in the other Party’s territory.

6.7Ovid’s Right to Commercialize. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Ovid conducts Development activities for the Product in the Licensee Territory as provided in Section 2.3(a) for any Additional Indication(s) for which Licensee has elected to not share Development Costs as provided in Section 8.2(a) and/or Section 8.2(b), as applicable, then prior to filing for Regulatory Approval for the Product in any Additional Indication, the Parties shall discuss in good faith whether Licensee wishes to include such Additional Indication within the Field and to Commercialize such Product in such Additional Indications. For clarity, neither Party may file for Regulatory Approval or Commercialize Products in (i) any Additional Indication for which Licensee has elected not to share Development Costs or (ii) any additional indication other than Rare Diseases unless the Parties mutually agree to do so.

7.1Upon Licensee’s request, Ovid will manufacture and supply, itself or through a Third Party contract manufacturer, all Drug Product for use in the Development and Commercialization of the Products under this Agreement and according to the Supply Agreement. All Drug Product supplied by Ovid to Licensee or Licensee Affiliate for use for Development and Commercial purposes shall be supplied at [***], provided that [***] (“Total Supply Price Threshold”). In case the Total Supply Price will be [***], the Cost of Good for such Drug Product

will be [***] the Total Supply Price Threshold. For clarity, the Total Supply Price Threshold [***]. Payment shall be due within [***] after Licensee’s receipt from Ovid of an invoice for such Drug Product. Drug Product shall be delivered EXW (Incoterms 2020) at supplier facility (or that of its Third Party contract manufacturer), and Licensee shall be responsible for all costs of freight, insurance, taxes and duties associated with shipment of Drug Product to Licensee’s designated delivery point. Licensee shall be responsible, at its expense, for the final packaging and labeling of the Product for all countries in the Licensee Territory. Licensee shall also be responsible, at its sole expense, for any specific manufacturing requirements, such as stability studies or development of finished Product presentations, necessary to obtain MAA Approval of the Product in the Licensee Territory. If Licensee is manufacturing Drug Product following the Technology Transfer Completion Date, Ovid may request, and Licensee or Licensee Affiliate will supply Drug Product to Ovid, on the same terms as set forth above, pursuant to a mutually agreed supply agreement.

(a)Upfront Payment. Licensee shall make a one-time, non-refundable, non‑creditable upfront payment to Ovid of twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) within five (5) business days after the Effective Date.

(i)Within [***] following (A) the transfer to Licensee of [***], (B) the delivery ([***]) to Licensee or to Licensee Affiliate of [***] and (C) [***], Licensee shall pay to Ovid a one-time, non-refundable, non-creditable payment of (1) [***] if [***], or (2) [***] if [***]. Licensee shall use Angelini Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with Ovid and Lundbeck to implement the foregoing transfers within the timelines set forth in this Section 8.1(b)(i).

(a)Shared Development Costs. With respect to Joint Development Activities conducted pursuant to Section 4.2(b) or Section 4.3 directed to obtaining Regulatory Approval for any Indication, excluding the Ovid Ongoing Trials, Ovid shall bear [***] and Licensee shall bear [***] of all Development Costs for such Joint Development Activities. No later than [***] after the beginning of each Calendar Quarter during which a Party will perform any Joint Development Activities pursuant to Section 4.2(b) or Section 4.3 in such Calendar Quarter, such Party shall submit to the other Party a statement setting forth the Development Costs incurred, including the other Party’s share (calculated in accordance with the foregoing sentence) of (i) estimated Development Costs for the then current quarter; (ii) variances from prior invoiced estimates and

actual Development Costs; and (iii) Development Costs incurred by or on account of such Party in the past quarter not previously invoiced. Such invoice shall include a reasonably detailed report for such Development Costs, including reasonable supporting documents. The other Party shall pay the amount invoiced within [***] after the receipt of the invoice, subject to the other Party’s right to audit the invoicing Party’s records and books related to such costs as provided in Section 9.4. If both Parties will perform Joint Development Activities pursuant to Section 4.2(b) or Section 4.3 under the Development Plan in such Calendar Quarter, the Parties shall consolidate the payments for such Calendar Quarter into a single payment from one Party to the other Party, as applicable.

(b)Independent Development Costs. In general, each Party shall bear all Development Costs incurred by or on account of such Party in performing its own Independent Development Activities (the “Independent Development Costs”). After the completion of such Independent Development Activities, such Party shall provide the other Party (the “Non-Funding Party ”) with a report of such Independent Development Costs. If a Non-Funding Party desires to submit any portion of the Data, or reference any portion of a Regulatory Filing, resulting from Independent Development Activities conducted by the other Party to support any Regulatory Approval in the Non-Funding Party’s territory, then such Non-Funding Party may notify the other Party in writing of such request at any time following the completion of such Independent Development Activities. Within [***] after its receipt of such notice, the Party having conducted such Independent Development Activities shall submit to the other Party a reasonably detailed invoice for, [***] of the Independent Development Costs incurred [***] in connection with the performance of such Independent Development Activities, with such invoiced amount representing the Non-Funding Party’s base share of Development Costs ([***]), had such Party originally opted in, plus [***], provided that in no event will either Party be required to pay, as a result of the application of such premium, more than [***] the costs actually incurred in conducting such Independent Development Activities. If the Non-Funding Party subsequently uses or references such Data, in whole or in part to support Regulatory Approval of the Product in the applicable Indication in its territory, then such Party shall notify the conducting Party in writing of such decision and pay the amount set forth in the invoice within [***] after its submission of a Regulatory Filing including or referencing such Data.

(c)Internal Development Cost. Each Party shall record and calculate its Development Costs for the Development Activities implemented from the Effective Date on an FTE basis at the applicable FTE Rate. The Parties agree that [***] from the Effective Date.

(b)Notice and Payment. Each Party shall notify the other Party in writing within [***] after the achievement of any milestone event set forth in this Section 8.3 by such Party or its Affiliates or Sublicensees. Licensee shall pay to Ovid the applicable development milestone payment within [***] after the delivery or receipt of such notice.

(c)One-time Payment. Each of the above Regulatory Milestone amounts shall only be payable once no matter how many times the corresponding Regulatory Milestone Event is achieved.

(d)For clarity, Licensee shall pay to Ovid each Regulatory Milestone amount the first time that the corresponding Regulatory Milestone Event is achieved.

(a)Licensee shall pay to Ovid the one-time, non-refundable, non-creditable payments set forth in the table below when the aggregated Net Sales of all Products in the Licensee Territory in any Calendar Year first reach the values indicated in the table below. For clarity, each payment in this Section 8.4 shall be payable once only upon first achievement of the applicable milestone event, regardless of the number of times such milestone is subsequently achieved.

[***]	[***]

(b)Notice and Payment. As part of the report in Section 9.1, Licensee shall provide written notice to Ovid if the aggregated Net Sales of all Products in the Licensee Territory in any Calendar Year first reach the values set forth in Section 8.4(a), and Licensee shall pay to Ovid the corresponding Net Sales milestone payment along with its payment of royalties in accordance with Section 9.1, following the end of the Calendar Quarter in which such Net Sales milestone is achieved.

(c)One-time Payment. Each of the above Sales Milestone amounts shall only be payable once during the Term of this Agreement no matter how many times the corresponding Sales Milestone Event is achieved. For clarity, Licensee shall pay to Ovid each Sales Milestone amount the first time that the corresponding Sales Milestone Event is achieved.

(a)Royalty Rate. Subject to the remainder of this Section 8.5, during the Royalty Term, Licensee shall make quarterly non-refundable, non-creditable royalty payments to Ovid on the annual Net Sales of all Products sold in the Licensee Territory at the applicable rate to the relevant portion of annual Net Sales as set forth below:


Annual Net Sales of all Products in the Licensee Territory	Royalty Rate
Portion of annual Net Sales up to [***]	[***]%
Portion of annual Net Sales greater than [*] and less than or equal to [*]	[***]%
Portion of annual Net Sales greater than [*] and less than or equal to [*]	[***]%
Portion of annual Net Sales greater than [***]	[***]%

(b)Royalty Term. Royalties shall be paid on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis in the Licensee Territory from the First Commercial Sale of such Product in such country by or on behalf of Licensee, its Affiliates, or Sublicensees, until the last to occur of (i) the expiration of the last‑to‑expire Valid Claim of the Ovid Patents (ii) the expiration of all Market Exclusivity covering such Product in such country, and (iii) fifteen (15) years after the First Commercial Sale of such Product in such country (the “Royalty Term”).

(c)Royalty Stacking Reduction. If it is necessary for Licensee to obtain a license from a Third Party under any Patent in a particular country in the Licensee Territory in order to sell the Compound or the Compound incorporated into a Product for the Initial Indication or, if Licensee does not exercise the Second Indication Opt-Out, the Second Indication in such country and Licensee obtains such a license, then solely during the Royalty Term, Licensee may

deduct from the royalty payment that would otherwise have been due pursuant to Section 8.5(a) with respect to Net Sales of such Product in such country in a particular Calendar Quarter an amount equal to [***] of the royalties paid by Licensee to such Third Party pursuant to such license on account of the sale of such Product in such country during such Calendar Quarter.

(d)Royalty Floor. Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 8.5(c) and Section 8.7 with respect to any Product in any Calendar Quarter, the royalties that would otherwise have been due under Section 8.5(a) with respect to Net Sales of such Product in the applicable country(ies) during such Calendar Quarter shall not be reduced by more than [***] as a result of all such reductions.

8.6Royalties During the Extended Commercialization Term . During the Extended Commercialization Term, Licensee shall pay to Ovid a quarterly non-refundable, non-creditable royalty of [***] on the annual Net Sales of all Products sold in the Licensee Territory, as calculated by multiplying the foregoing royalty rate by the amount of Net Sales of the Product in the Territory in the applicable Calendar Quarter.

8.7Royalty Reduction for Generic Competition. If at any time Generic Product Competition exists in a given country with respect to a Product, then the royalty rate set forth in Section 8.5(a) with respect to sales of such Product in such country shall be reduced by [***]. For clarity, if Generic Product Competition ceases to exist, then the royalty rate shall no longer be reduced.

8.8Upstream License Agreement Payments. Any and all payments that become due under the Lundbeck License Agreement as a result of activities under this Agreement, whether by or on behalf of Ovid or by Licensee or its Affiliate or Sublicensee, shall be the responsibility of Ovid and Ovid shall make such payment in accordance with the terms of the Lundbeck License Agreement.

9.1Payment; Reports. All royalty payments due under this Agreement shall be accompanied by a report setting forth, on a country-by-country basis, Net Sales of the Products by Licensee and its Affiliates and Sublicensees in the Licensee Territory in sufficient detail to permit confirmation of the accuracy of the royalty payment made, including, for each country, the number of Products sold, the gross sales and Net Sales of Products, including the deductions from gross sales to arrive at Net Sales, the royalty payable, the exchange rates used, any adjustments to the royalty paid during the Royalty Term pursuant to Section 8.5(c), and whether any Net Sales milestone under Section 8.4 has been achieved. Within [***] following the end of each Calendar Quarter during the Royalty Term and Extended Commercialization Term, Licensee shall provide Ovid with the foregoing report and the payment due for such Calendar Quarter. For clarity, royalty payments during the Extended Commercialization Term shall not be subject to any offsets or reductions whatsoever, including those set forth in Section 8.5(c). Prior to the First Commercial Sale of the Product in the Licensee Territory, the Parties will agree on the form of royalty report. Licensee shall submit a single report for all Net Sales during a Calendar Year, including all of Licensee’s and its Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’ Net Sales, but shall separately identify the Net Sales and other information applicable to each entity.

9.2Exchange Rate; Manner and Place of Payment. All references to dollars and “$” herein shall refer to U.S. dollars. Unless otherwise specified herein, all payments due under this Agreement shall be payable in U.S. dollars. When conversion of Net Sales from any currency other than U.S. dollars is required, such conversion shall be at the exchange rate equal to the conversion rate for the U.S. dollar for the currency of the country in which the applicable Net Sales were made as published by [***]. All payments owed under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank and account designated in writing by Ovid, unless otherwise specified in writing by Ovid.

(a)Taxes on Income. Each Party shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes imposed on its share of income arising directly or indirectly from the activities of the Parties under this Agreement.

(b)Tax Cooperation. The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to avoid or reduce tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of the milestone payments, royalty payments, and other payments made by Licensee to Ovid under this Agreement. To the extent that Licensee is required by Applicable Laws to deduct and withhold taxes on any payment to Ovid, Licensee shall withhold the amount of such taxes otherwise payable to Ovid and, if and when necessary pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to Ovid an official tax certificate or other evidence of such payment sufficient to enable Ovid to claim such payment of taxes. Ovid shall provide Licensee any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for Licensee to not withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty, to the extent legally able to do so. Ovid shall use reasonable efforts to provide any such tax forms to Licensee in advance of the due date. Licensee shall provide Ovid with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Laws, of withholding taxes or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of Ovid. Licensee shall have the right to deduct any such tax, levy, or charge actually paid from payment due to Ovid. Each Party agrees to assist the other Party in claiming exemption from such deductions or withholdings under double taxation or similar agreement or treaty from time to time in force and in minimizing the amount required to be so withheld or deducted.

(c)Taxes Resulting From Licensee’s Action. If a Party takes any action of its own discretion (not required by a Regulatory Authority and without consent of the other Party), including any assignment, sublicense, change of place of incorporation, or failure to comply with Applicable Laws or filing or record retention requirements, which results in a withholding or deduction obligation (a “Withholding Tax Action”), then such Party shall pay the sum associated with such Withholding Tax Action. For clarity, if Licensee undertakes a Withholding Tax Action, then the sum payable by Licensee (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that Ovid receives a sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such Withholding Tax Action occurred. If a change in Applicable Laws results in a withholding or deduction obligation absent either Party taking a Withholding Tax Action, then the amount of such withholding or deduction obligation shall be paid by Licensee to the applicable Governmental Authority on behalf of Ovid, provided that Licensee shall assist Ovid in minimizing or recovering such withholding or deduction obligation.

The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to invoke the application of any applicable bilateral income tax treaty that would reduce or eliminate otherwise applicable taxes with respect to payments payable pursuant to this Agreement.

9.4Records; Audit. Each Party shall maintain complete and accurate records in sufficient detail in relation to this Agreement to permit the other Party to confirm the accuracy of the amount of Development Costs to be reimbursed or shared, achievement of Net Sales milestones, and the amount of royalty and other payments payable under this Agreement. Each Party will keep such books and records for at least [***] following the Calendar Year to which they pertain. Upon reasonable prior notice, such records shall be inspected during regular business hours at such place or places where such records are customarily kept by an independent certified public accountant (the “Auditor”) selected by the auditing Party and reasonably acceptable to the audited Party for the sole purpose of verifying for the auditing Party the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by the audited Party pursuant to this Agreement or of any payments made, or required to be made, by or to the audited Party pursuant to this Agreement. Before beginning its audit, the Auditor shall execute an undertaking acceptable to each Party by which the Auditor agrees to keep confidential all information reviewed during the audit. Such audits may occur no more often than [***]. Each Party shall only be entitled to audit the books and records from the [***] in which the audit request is made. The Auditor shall not disclose the audited Party’s Confidential Information to the auditing Party, and shall only verify the accuracy or inaccuracy of the financial reports furnished by the audited Party or the amount of payments by such Party under this Agreement, and, in the case of any inaccuracy, the amount of such inaccuracy. In the event that the final result of the inspection reveals an undisputed underpayment or overpayment, the underpaid or overpaid amount shall be settled within [***] after the Auditor’s report. The auditing Party shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit reveals an overpayment to, or an underpayment by, the audited Party, which underpayment or overpayment was more than [***], in which case the audited Party shall reimburse the auditing Party for the costs for such audit. For clarity, the foregoing audit rights may also be exercised by Ovid on behalf of Lundbeck pursuant to the terms of the Lundbeck License Agreement.

9.5Late Payments. In the event that any payment due under this Agreement is not paid when due in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, the payment shall accrue interest from the date due [***]; provided, however, that in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum legal annual interest rate. The payment of such interest shall not limit the Party entitled to receive payment from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

(a)Data. All Data generated in connection with any Development or Commercial activities with respect to any Product conducted solely by or on behalf of Ovid and its Affiliates and licensees (other than Licensee) (the “Ovid Data”) shall be the sole and exclusive property of Ovid or such Affiliates or licensees, as applicable. All Data generated in connection with any Development or Commercial activities with respect to any Product conducted solely by or on behalf of Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees (the “Licensee Data”) shall be the sole

and exclusive property of Licensee or such Affiliates or Sublicensees, as applicable. All Data generated in connection with any Joint Development Activities or joint Commercial activities with respect to any Product and for which the Parties are sharing Development Costs pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall be jointly owned by the Parties. For clarity, each Party shall have access and right to use and reference the other Party’s Data as and to the extent set forth in this Agreement.

(b)Inventions. Inventorship of any Inventions will be determined in accordance with the standards of inventorship and conception under U.S. patent laws. The Parties will work together to resolve any issues regarding inventorship or ownership of Inventions. Ownership of Inventions will be allocated as follows:

(i)Ovid shall solely own all data, Inventions, and Patents claiming such Inventions that relate to the composition, formulation, manufacture, dosing, new indications or method of use of the Compound, or any improvement of any such composition, manufacture, or use, including in combination with other agents or components (each, a “Compound Invention”). All Compound Inventions will be included in the Ovid Know-How, and Patents in the Licensee Territory claiming such Inventions will be included in the Ovid Patents. To the extent that any Compound Invention is made by Licensee, whether solely or jointly with Ovid, Licensee shall, and hereby does, transfer and assign to Ovid, without additional consideration, all of its right, title, and interest in such Compound Invention. To effectuate the foregoing assignment, Licensee shall ensure that all entities and individuals that perform any Development under this Agreement are under a written or other legally enforceable obligation to assign all of its right, title, and interest in such Invention to Licensee or to an entity that is obligated to assign all right, title, and interest to Licensee.

(ii)Except for Compound Inventions, each Party shall solely own any Inventions made solely by it and its Affiliates’ employees, agents, or independent contractors, and the Parties shall jointly own any Inventions that are made jointly by employees, agents, or independent contractors of one Party and its Affiliates together with employees, agents, or independent contractors of the other Party and its Affiliates (“Joint Inventions”). All Patents claiming patentable Joint Inventions shall be referred to herein as “Joint Patents”. Except to the extent either Party is restricted by the licenses granted to the other Party under this Agreement, each Party shall be entitled to practice, license, assign, and otherwise exploit its interest under the Joint Inventions and Joint Patents without the duty of accounting or seeking consent from the other Party.

(i)Subject to the remainder of this Section 10.2(a), and as between the Parties, Ovid shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to control the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance (including any interferences, reissue proceedings, reexaminations, inter partes review, patent term extensions, applications for supplementary protection certificates, oppositions, invalidation proceedings and defense of validity or enforceability challenges) of the Ovid Patents (other than Joint Patents) worldwide, using counsel of its own choice. Subject to the terms of the Lundbeck License Agreement, Ovid shall (A) keep Licensee informed of material

progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of the Ovid Patents in the Licensee Territory, sufficiently in advance for Licensee to be able to review any material documents, including content, timing, and jurisdiction of the filing of such Ovid Patents in the Licensee Territory, (B) consult with, and consider in good faith the requests and suggestions of, Licensee with respect to strategies for filing, prosecuting, and defending, if any, the Ovid Patents in the Licensee Territory, and (C), [***].

(ii)In the event that Ovid desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of any Ovid Patent in any country in the Licensee Territory, Ovid shall provide reasonable prior written notice to Licensee of such intention to abandon (which notice shall, to the extent possible, be given no later than [***] prior to the next deadline for any action that must be taken with respect to any such Ovid Patent in the relevant patent office). In such case, upon Licensee’s written election provided no later than [***] after such notice from Ovid, Ovid shall continue prosecution and maintenance of such Ovid Patent at Licensee’s direction and expense. If Licensee does not provide such election within [***] after such notice from Ovid, Ovid may, in its sole discretion, continue prosecution and maintenance of such Ovid Patent or discontinue prosecution and maintenance of such Ovid Patent.

(i)Subject to the remainder of this Section 10.2(b), Licensee shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to control the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance (including any interferences, reissue proceedings, reexaminations, patent term extensions, applications for supplementary protection certificates, oppositions, invalidation proceedings, and defense of validity or enforceability challenges) of all Licensee Patents (other than Joint Patents) worldwide, at its sole cost and expense and by counsel of its own choice in the Licensee Territory and by counsel mutually agreed to by the Parties in the Ovid Territory. Licensee shall keep Ovid informed of the status of filing, prosecution, maintenance, and defense, if any, of the Licensee Patents, and Licensee shall consult with, and consider in good faith the requests and suggestions of, Ovid with respect to strategies for filing, prosecuting, and defending the Licensee Patents.

(ii)In the event that Licensee desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of any Licensee Patent, Licensee shall provide reasonable prior written notice to Ovid of such intention to abandon (which notice shall, to the extent possible, be given no later than [***] prior to the next deadline for any action that must be taken with respect to any such Licensee Patent in the relevant patent office). In such case, upon Ovid’s written election provided no later than [***] after such notice from Licensee, Ovid shall have the right to assume prosecution and maintenance of such Licensee Patent at Ovid’s expense and Licensee shall assign to Ovid all of its rights, title, and interest in and to such Licensee Patent. If Ovid does not provide such election within [***] after such notice from Licensee, Licensee may, in its sole discretion, continue prosecution and maintenance of such Licensee Patent or discontinue prosecution and maintenance of such Licensee Patent.

(i)Subject to the remainder of this Section 10.2(c), Ovid shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute, and maintain (including any

interferences, reissue proceedings, reexaminations, patent term extensions, applications for supplementary protection certificates, oppositions, invalidation proceedings, and defense of validity or enforceability challenges) Joint Patents using a patent counsel selected by Ovid in the Ovid Territory and counsel mutually agreed to by the Parties in the Licensee Territory..Ovid shall keep Licensee informed of material progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance, and defense, if any, of the Joint Patents, including content, timing, and jurisdiction of the filing of such Joint Patents, and Ovid shall consult with, and consider in good faith the requests and suggestions of, Licensee with respect to filing, prosecuting, and defending of the Joint Patents in the Licensee Territory.

(ii)In the event that Ovid desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of any Joint Patent in any country in the Licensee Territory, Ovid shall provide reasonable prior written notice to Licensee of such intention to abandon (which notice shall, to the extent possible, be given no later than sixty (60) days prior to the next deadline for any action that must be taken with respect to any such Joint Patent in the relevant patent office). In such case, at Licensee’s sole discretion, upon written notice from Licensee to Ovid, Licensee may elect to continue prosecution or maintenance of any such Joint Patent at its own expense, and Ovid shall execute such documents and perform such acts, at Licensee’s expense, as may be reasonably necessary to allow Licensee to continue the prosecution and maintenance of such Joint Patent in such country in the Licensee Territory. Any such assignment shall be completed in a timely manner to allow Licensee to continue prosecution and maintenance of any such Joint Patent and any such Patent so assigned shall cease to be either a Joint Patent or a Licensee Patent and shall no longer be subject to the licenses and other rights granted by Licensee to Ovid under this Agreement

(d)Cooperation. Each Party agrees to cooperate fully in the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance, and defense, if any, of Patents under Section 10.2 and in the obtaining and maintenance of any patent term extensions and supplementary protection certificates and their equivalents, at its own cost (except as expressly set forth otherwise in this Section 10). Such cooperation includes (i) executing all papers and instruments, or requiring its employees or contractors, to execute such papers and instruments, so as enable the other Party to apply for and to prosecute patent applications in any country as permitted by Section 10.2; and (ii) promptly informing the other Party of any matters coming to such Party’s attention that may affect the preparation, filing, prosecution, or maintenance of any such patent application and the obtaining of any patent term extensions or supplementary protection certificates or their equivalents.

(a)Notice. Each Party shall notify the other within [***] of becoming aware of any alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any of the Ovid Patents (including Joint Patents) in the Licensee Territory, which infringement adversely affects or is reasonably expected to adversely affect any Product, including any declaratory judgment, opposition, or similar action alleging the invalidity, unenforceability, or non-infringement of any of the Ovid Patents (collectively, “Product Infringement”).

(b)Enforcement Right. Ovid shall have the first right to use Ovid Commercially Reasonable Efforts to bring and control any legal action in connection with such

Product Infringement at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate. If Ovid (i) decides not to bring such legal action against a Product Infringement (the decision of which Ovid shall inform Licensee promptly) or (ii) Ovid otherwise fails to bring such legal action against a Product Infringement within [***] after first becoming aware of such Product Infringement, subject to the terms of the Lundbeck License Agreement, Licensee shall have the right to bring and control any legal action in connection with such Product Infringement at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate after [***] Ovid.

(c)Collaboration. Each Party shall provide to the enforcing Party reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such enforcing Party’s request and expense, including to be named in such action if required by Applicable Laws to pursue such action. The enforcing Party shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts, including determination of litigation strategy and filing of material papers to the competent court. The non-enforcing Party shall be entitled to separate representation in such matter by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, but such Party shall at all times cooperate fully with the enforcing Party.

(i)Except as set forth in Section 10.3(d)(ii), the enforcing Party shall be solely responsible for any cost and expenses incurred by such Party as a result of such enforcement action. If such Party recovers monetary damages in such enforcement action, such recovery shall be allocated [***].

(ii)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if [***] to bring such action. If [***], then [***].

(e)Other Infringement. Except for Product Infringement as set forth above, each Party shall have the exclusive right to enforce its own Patents against any infringement anywhere in the world. For clarity, as between the Parties, Ovid shall have the exclusive right to enforce (i) the Ovid Patents against any infringement in the Licensee Territory that is not a Product Infringement, and (ii) the Ovid Patents and Joint Patents against any infringement in the Ovid Territory, in each case at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate, and subject to the terms of the Lundbeck License Agreement. The Parties shall discuss global enforcement strategy for the Ovid Patents and Licensee Patents, including the defense of validity and enforceability challenges arising from any enforcement action.

10.4Infringement of Third Party Rights. If any Product used or sold by Licensee, its Affiliates, or Sublicensees becomes the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of any intellectual property rights in a jurisdiction within the Licensee Territory, Licensee shall promptly notify Ovid and the Parties shall promptly meet to consider the claim or assertion and the appropriate course of action and may, if appropriate, agree on and enter into a “common interest agreement” wherein the Parties agree to their shared, mutual interest in the outcome of such potential dispute. Absent any agreement to the contrary, and subject to claims for indemnification under Article 12, each Party may defend itself from any such Third Party claim at its own cost and expense, provided that [***]. If [***].

(a)Product Trademarks. Ovid shall develop and adopt trademarks, including trade names, trade dresses, branding, and logos, to be used for the Products (the “Product Marks”). Ovid shall own all Product Marks throughout the world and all goodwill in the Product Marks shall accrue to Ovid. The Parties shall collaborate to have a global, worldwide trademark to be used on the Product. In the event Ovid is unable to obtain or maintain the Product Marks for the Product in the Licensee Territory or in some countries in the Licensee Territory, the Parties shall collaborate to select such other Product Marks as may be available for registration and marketing of the Product in those countries. Ovid shall be responsible for the registration, maintenance, defense and enforcement of the Product Marks using counsel of its own choice in the Ovid Territory and counsel mutually agreed to by the Parties in the Licensee Territory. Ovid shall keep Licensee informed of material progress with regard to the registration, prosecution, maintenance and defense, if any, of the Product Trademarks in the Licensee Territory, including content, timing, and jurisdiction of the filing of such Product Trademarks in the Licensee Territory, sufficiently in advance for Licensee to be able to review any material documents, and Ovid shall consult with, and consider in good faith the requests and suggestions of, Licensee with respect to strategies for filing, prosecuting and defending the Product Trademarks in the Licensee Territory.

(b)Trademark License. Licensee shall use the Product Marks to Commercialize the Product in the Licensee Territory. In addition, unless prohibited by Applicable Laws, Licensee shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to include Ovid’s corporate trademark on the packaging and product information of the Products sold in the Licensee Territory to indicate that the Product is licensed from Ovid. Ovid hereby grants to Licensee a limited, royalty-free license to use Ovid’s corporate trademark and Product Marks solely in connection with the Commercialization of the Product in the Licensee Territory under this Agreement. All use of the Product Marks and Ovid’s corporate trademark shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be subject to Ovid’s review and approval. For clarity, Licensee shall also include its (or its Affiliate’s or Sublicensee’s, as applicable) corporate logo in the Product sold in the Licensee Territory.

(c)Product Domain Names. In the Licensee Territory, Licensee shall have the exclusive right to register Product Marks as domain names, including all internet domain names under all existing top level domains. This includes as example top level domains such as .com, .net., .info and country code top level domains such as .dk, .uk and .it.

The Indemnitee may participate at its expense in the Indemnitor’s defense of and settlement negotiations for any Claim with counsel of the Indemnitee’s own choice. The indemnity arrangement in this Article 12 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any action with respect to a Claim if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim shall only relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations under this Article 12 if and to the extent the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal

Each Party shall provide a certificate of insurance (or evidence of self-insurance) evidencing such coverages to the other Party upon request. It is understood that such policies shall not be construed to create any limit of either Party’s obligations or liabilities with respect to its indemnification obligations hereunder. In the event of use by either Party of subcontractors, sublicensees, or any Third Party in the performance of such Party’s obligations under the Agreement, such Party shall ensure that its subcontractor, sublicensee, or Third Party has a proper and adequate general liability or professional liability insurance to cover its risks with respect to the other Party for damages mentioned above.

12.5Limitation of Liability.

the terms of this Agreement .

Each Party will use at least the same standard of care as it uses to protect proprietary or confidential information of its own (but no less than reasonable care) to ensure that its employees, agents, consultants, contractors, and other representatives do not disclose or make any unauthorized use of the Confidential Information of the other Party. Each Party will promptly notify the other upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information of the other Party.

13.2Exceptions. The obligations of confidentiality and restriction on use under Section 13.1 will not apply to any information that the receiving Party can prove by competent written evidence: (a) is at the time of disclosure, or thereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of the receiving Party, generally known or available to the public; (b) is known by the receiving Party at the time of receiving such information, other than by previous disclosure of the disclosing Party, or its Affiliates, employees, agents, consultants, or contractors; (c) is disclosed to the receiving Party without restriction by a Third Party who has no obligation of confidentiality or limitations on use with respect thereto; or (d) is independently discovered or developed by the receiving Party without the use of or reference to the Confidential Information belonging to the disclosing Party.

(g)disclosure to Third Party licensors of intellectual property that is related to the Compound or any Product (e.g., the Third Party that is party to the Lundbeck License Agreement) for the purpose of meeting reporting obligations under such Third Party agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 13.3(c) or 13.3(d), it will, except where impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure, and to the extent possible, at least [***] notice, and use the same diligent efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information as such Party would use to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable efforts. In any event, the Parties agree to take all reasonable action to avoid disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder. Any information disclosed pursuant to Section 13.3 shall remain Confidential Information and subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement, including the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.

(a)Ovid shall have the right to review and comment on any material proposed for disclosure or publication by Licensee regarding results of and other information regarding Licensee’s Development activities during the Term with respect to the Compound and Product, whether by oral presentation, manuscript, or abstract. Before any such material is submitted for publication, or presentation of any such material is made, Licensee shall deliver a complete copy of the material proposed for disclosure to Ovid at least [***] prior to submitting the material to a publisher or initiating any other disclosure, or as close to these time frames as reasonably possible. Ovid shall review any such material and give its comments to Licensee within [***] of the receipt of such material. With respect to oral presentation materials and abstracts, Ovid shall make reasonable efforts to expedite review of such materials and abstracts, and shall return such items as soon as practicable to Licensee with comments, if any. Subject to Section 13.4(b), following the expiration of the applicable time period for review, Licensee shall be free to submit such proposed manuscript for publication or presentation materials for public disclosure, and does not need to follow this process for subsequent publications or presentations of the same data.

(b)If Ovid notifies Licensee within the applicable time period set forth in Section 13.4(a) that such publication or presentation, in Ovid’s reasonable judgment:

(i)contains an invention for which Ovid desires to obtain patent protection, Licensee shall delay such publication or presentation for a period of up to [***] (or such other time period agreed by the Parties in writing) to permit the preparation and filing of a patent application for such invention, or

(ii)contains any Confidential Information of Ovid, or could be expected to have an adverse effect on the commercial value of any Confidential Information disclosed by

Ovid to Licensee, the Parties shall attempt to agree on revisions to the applicable disclosure so as to preserve both the commercial value of such Confidential Information and the scientific merit of such disclosure, provided that if and to the extent the Parties are unable to agree, Licensee shall delete such Confidential Information from the proposed publication or presentation.

13.5Publicity; Public Disclosures and Public Announcements. Save as permitted in this Section 13.5, neither Party shall make any public announcement or statement to the public containing Confidential Information of the other Party without the prior consent of such other Party. On or promptly after the Effective Date, the Parties shall issue a joint public announcement, or either Party may issue its own public announcement, regarding the execution of this Agreement with information substantially consistent with the information contained in the form of press release attached hereto as Exhibit D. It is understood that each Party may desire or be required to issue subsequent press releases relating to this Agreement or activities hereunder. The Parties agree to consult with each other reasonably and in good faith with respect to the text and timing of such press releases prior to the issuance thereof, to the extent practicable, and in the case of any press release Licensee wishes to issue, Licensee shall first obtain Ovid’s written approval of such release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party may unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay consent to such releases by more than [***], and either Party may issue such press releases or make such disclosures to the SEC or other applicable agency as it determines, based on advice of counsel, is reasonably necessary to comply with Applicable Laws or for appropriate market disclosure. Each Party shall provide the other Party with advance notice of legally required disclosures to the extent practicable, and to the extent possible, at least [***] prior to such disclosure. The Parties will consult with each other on the provisions of this Agreement to be redacted in any filings made by a Party with the SEC or as otherwise required by Applicable Laws; provided that each Party shall have the right to make any such filing as it reasonably determines necessary under Applicable Laws. In addition, following the initial joint press release announcing this Agreement, either Party shall be free to disclose, without the other Party’s prior written consent, the existence of this Agreement, the identity of the other Party, and those terms of the Agreement which have already been publicly disclosed in accordance with.

13.6Prior Confidentiality Agreement. As of the Effective Date, the terms of this Article 13 shall supersede any prior non-disclosure, secrecy, or confidentiality agreement between the Parties (or their Affiliates) relating to the subject of this Agreement, including the Confidentiality Agreement. Any information disclosed pursuant to any such prior agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information under this Agreement.

13.7Equitable Relief. Given the nature of the Confidential Information and the competitive damage that a Party would suffer upon unauthorized disclosure, use, or transfer of its Confidential Information to any Third Party, the Parties agree that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article 13. In addition to all other remedies, a Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Article 13.

14.1Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until terminated as provided in this Article 14 (the “Term”). Notwithstanding anything herein, on

(a)Material Breach. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately in its entirety upon written notice to the other Party if such other Party materially breaches this Agreement and has not cured such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of the other Party within [***] after notice of such breach from the non-breaching Party. In the event of any dispute, the Agreement shall remain in place during the pendency of any such dispute.

If a case is commenced during the Term by or against a Party under Bankruptcy Laws then, unless and until this Agreement is rejected as provided pursuant to such Bankruptcy Laws, such Party (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a Title 11 trustee) shall perform all of the obligations in this Agreement intended to be performed by such Party. If a case is commenced during the Term by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Laws, this Agreement is rejected as provided for under the Bankruptcy Laws, and the non-bankrupt Party elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided for under the Bankruptcy Laws, then the Party subject to such case under the Bankruptcy Laws (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a Title 11 trustee), shall provide to the non-bankrupt Party copies of all Patents and Information necessary for the non-bankrupt Party to [***] enjoy its rights under the terms of this Agreement.

Ovid Therapeutics and Angelini Pharma Enter into Exclusive License Agreement to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize OV101 for the Treatment of Angelman Syndrome in Europe

•

Angelini Pharma obtains exclusive development, manufacturing and commercialization rights to OV101 (gaboxadol) for the potential treatment of Angelman syndrome in the European Union and other countries in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom

•

Ovid Therapeutics will receive an upfront payment of $20 million and additional payments of up to $212.5 million upon the achievement of development, manufacturing and sales milestones, in addition to double-digit royalties on net sales if successfully commercialized

NEW YORK and ROME, July XX, 2020 -- Ovid Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: OVID, hereinafter “Ovid”), a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing medicines that transform the lives of people with rare neurological diseases, and Angelini Pharma S.p.A. (hereinafter “Angelini Pharma”), an Italian family-owned pharmaceutical company committed to helping patients with a constant and prevalent focus on Mental Health, Rare Diseases and Consumer Health, announced an agreement in which Angelini Pharma will be responsible to develop, manufacture and commercialize OV101 (gaboxadol) for the potential treatment of Angelman syndrome in the European Union, other countries in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, Turkey and United Kingdom. Angelini Pharma will execute the agreement through its new affiliate Angelini Pharma Rare Diseases AG. OV101 is believed to be the only delta (δ)-selective GABA_A receptor agonist in development, and is currently being evaluated in the pivotal Phase 3 NEPTUNE trial in Angelman syndrome, with topline results expected in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Under the terms of the agreement, Ovid will receive an upfront payment of $20 million and is eligible to receive up to an additional $212.5 million in payments upon the achievement of development, manufacturing and sales milestones for the initial indication (Angelman syndrome), as well as double-

digit royalties on net sales if OV101 is successfully commercialized. Ovid will retain all U.S. and rest-of-world commercial rights to OV101.

“We are excited to enter into a strategic collaboration with Angelini Pharma with the goal of bringing OV101, if approved, to the Angelman community in Europe as quickly as possible. Angelini Pharma is an ideal partner for Europe as they have deep regional knowledge, an established infrastructure with a history of successful product launches, and a commitment to improving the quality of life of the patient communities they serve,” said Jeremy Levin, DPhil, MB, BChir, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ovid Therapeutics. “Finding the right partners to bring OV101 to the Angelman community as rapidly as possible is a core part of our global strategy. We believe this partnership with Angelini will help to maximize the potential commercial value of OV101 and achieve our strategic objectives in this important geography."

“Today is a day that we will remember. Through our collaboration with Ovid Therapeutics, we are laying the foundation to developing innovative health solutions for rare diseases, in line with Angelini Pharma’s new strategy,” said Pierluigi Antonelli, Angelini Pharma CEO. “The new business unit Angelini Pharma Rare Diseases AG will contribute to the development, registration, production and, if approved, commercialization in Europe of OV101, Ovid Therapeutics’ very promising drug being evaluated in a Phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of Angelman syndrome. As of now, there is no effective treatment for this rare genetic disease, characterized by severe psychomotor disability, which manifests itself from childhood. Delivering on our commitment makes us proud both from a scientific perspective and its social impact”.

"As shareholders and executives of Angelini Holding we continue to invest in the pharma area, which today represents half of our Group's turnover,” commented the executive vice president Thea Paola Angelini and the CEO Sergio Marullo di Condojanni. “Our global development and internationalization strategy focuses on business areas with high growth potential.

Angelman syndrome is a rare genetic condition that is characterized by a variety of signs and symptoms. Characteristic features of this condition include delayed development, intellectual disability, severe speech impairment, problems with movement and balance, seizures, sleep disorders and anxiety. The most common cause of Angelman syndrome is the loss of function of the gene that codes for ubiquitin protein ligase E3A (UBE3A), which plays a critical role in nerve cell communication, resulting in impaired tonic inhibition. Individuals with Angelman syndrome typically have normal lifespans but are unable to live independently. Therefore, they require constant support from a network of specialists and caregivers. Angelman syndrome affects approximately 1 in 12,000 to 1 in 20,000 people globally.

There are no approved therapies by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency or rest–of-world for Angelman syndrome, and treatment primarily consists of behavioral interventions and pharmacologic management of symptoms.

Angelman syndrome is associated with a reduction in tonic inhibition, a function of the delta (δ)-selective GABA_A receptor that allows a human brain to decipher excitatory and inhibitory neurological signals correctly without being overloaded. If tonic inhibition is reduced, the brain becomes inundated with signals and loses the ability to separate background noise from critical information.

OV101 is believed to be the only delta (δ)-selective GABA_A receptor agonist in development and the first investigational drug to specifically target the disruption of tonic inhibition, a central physiological process of the brain that is thought to be the underlying cause of certain neurodevelopmental disorders. OV101 has demonstrated in laboratory studies and animal models to selectively activate the δ-subunit of GABA_A receptors, which are found in the extrasynaptic space (outside of the synapse), and thereby impact neuronal activity through modulation of tonic inhibition.

Ovid is developing OV101 for the treatment of Angelman syndrome and Fragile X syndrome to potentially restore tonic inhibition and thereby address several core symptoms of these conditions. In both these syndromes, the underlying pathophysiology includes disruption of tonic inhibition modulated through the δ-subunit of GABA_A receptors. In preclinical studies, it was observed that OV101 improved symptoms of Angelman syndrome and Fragile X syndrome. This compound has also previously been tested in more than 4,000 patients (more than 1,000 patient-years of exposure) and was observed to have favorable safety and bioavailability profiles. Ovid is conducting a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial with OV101 in Angelman syndrome (NEPTUNE) and has completed a Phase 2 signal-finding clinical trial with OV101 in Fragile X syndrome (ROCKET).

OV101 has received Rare Pediatric Disease Designation from the FDA for the treatment of Angelman syndrome. The FDA has also granted Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations for OV101 for both the treatment of Angelman syndrome and Fragile X syndrome. In addition, the European Commission (EC) has granted orphan drug designation to OV101 for the treatment of Angelman syndrome. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has granted Ovid patents directed to methods of treating Angelman syndrome and Fragile X syndrome using OV101. The issued patents expire in 2035 without regulatory extensions.
