Forward Guidance
Praxis plans to report topline results from the PRAX-628 study in the first quarter, complete enrollment in Essential3 in the first half of this year and expect topline results from the Phase 2 EMBOLD study of PRAX-562 for the treatment of pediatric patients with DEEs mid-year.
Positive Outlook
- Strong participation in Essential3 Phase 3 studies in ulixacaltamide for essential tremor continues to highlight the significant unmet need for new therapies in essential tremor.
- Encouraged by the latest data supporting our highly differentiated epilepsy portfolio, including elsunersen and PRAX-628.
- PRAX-628 was generally well-tolerated at all tested doses.
- Pharmacokinetic data demonstrated dose-dependent exposure supporting once-daily dosing without titration to achieve potentially therapeutically effective drug concentration levels.
- Further analysis of patients in the Phase 1 study using qEEG data showed a pharmacodynamic effect at all dose levels and was significantly different from placebo.
