Possible future RLS med?

I'm invested in a biotech startup Vistagen which has several drugs in FDA trials. They use a fast acting nasal mist using pherines as a means to absorb the drug with minimal side effects. Their main two drugs are intended to be a replacement for benzos and SSRIs for anxiety and depression . While doing some research today, I noticed the third drug in their pipeline is being tested among other things as a relief for LID In parkinson's patients, which is a condition caused by long term use of dopamine agonists. Of course I immediately thought about future RLS treatments and applications. Keeping my on eye on it. Also hoping to make some cash as well of course. 😉

It's the application to relieve dopamine side effects that intrigues me. Have an email into the company to see if they will tell me if they are looking to research any potential RLS applications. Yeah as far as an investment. It's make it break. The FDA gave their anxiety drug fast track designation, but it has to pass the dreaded phase 3 large double blind placebo trials, which has been the demise of many promising medications.
