In March 2023, IAMA Therapeutics, a preclinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel medicines to make a difference in the lives of individuals suffering from brain disorders, announced that preclinical data supporting its IAMA-6 program in focal refractory epilepsy will be presented at the 75th American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting, taking place on April 22-27 in Boston, Massachusetts.
In February 2023, Addex Therapeutics announced that enrollment into Part 1 of Phase 2 clinical study of ADX71149 (JNJ-40411813) for the treatment of epilepsy had been completed. ADX71149 is a selective metabotropic glutamate type 2 (mGlu2) receptor-positive allosteric modulator (PAM). Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., part of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, is conducting the trial.
In January 2023, Equilibre Biopharmaceuticals Corp., reported positive topline results from the Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the clinical safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of EQU-001 – a novel anti-inflammatory anti-seizure medication - administered as once-daily oral adjunctive therapy for focal seizures in adults with epilepsy. The results of the EQU-001 study are encouraging because they demonstrate impressive tolerability and encouraging efficacy for adult patients with focal epilepsy, especially for those with seizures that are difficult to treat.
In January 2023, Signant Health, introduced a novel electronic diary (eDiary) data capture solution designed to simplify the experience for patients and research sites participating in epilepsy trials while ensuring robust outcome assessment data to support trial endpoints. Developed in collaboration with The Epilepsy Study Consortium (TESC), the new patient-reported outcome measure offers clinical research sponsors and organizations a standardized solution to capture common seizure data elements with high-quality data.
In June 2022, CODA Biotherapeutics, Inc. announced that preclinical data from the Company's focal epilepsy program demonstrated that treatment with the Company's lead-engineered receptor and small molecule activator drug significantly reduced focal seizure frequency in vivo. Results showed that the rapid reduction in seizures is consistent with the pharmacokinetics of the activator drug in mouse models. Data also demonstrated that the expression of CODA's lead receptor is highly correlated with a reduction in seizure frequency.
In September 2022, Avicanna Inc. was pleased to announce that it has expanded its research collaboration in the field of Epilepsy with a new collaboration with the University of Toronto and Dr. Mac Burnham's research team to explore the efficacy of Avicanna's proprietary formulations in pre-clinical models for Epilepsy. The research collaboration led by Dr. Mac Burnham's team will explore the efficacy of Avicanna's drug candidates, including AVCN319302, in animal models for Epilepsy.
In December 2022, Praxis Precision Medicines, Inc. and UCB announced a strategic collaboration, based upon Praxis' PRAX-020 program, for the discovery of small molecule therapeutics as potential treatments of KCNT1-related epilepsies. Under the terms of the collaboration, UCB retains an exclusive option to in-license global development and commercialization rights to any resulting KCNT1 small molecule development candidate.
In January 2022, Ovid Therapeutics Inc. announced the company has entered into an exclusive license agreement with AstraZeneca for a library of early-stage small molecules targeting the KCC2 transporter, including lead candidate OV350. The company seeks to optimize and accelerate the development of these KCC2 transporter activators in epilepsies and potentially other neuropathic conditions.
In August 2021, Marinus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that it has entered into an agreement with Orion Corporation whereby Orion received exclusive rights to commercialize the oral and intravenous (IV) dose formulations of ganaxolone in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland for CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD), tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and refractory status epilepticus (RSE).

Epilepsy Overview

Epilepsy is a chronic condition characterized by unprovoked, recurrent seizures. A seizure is an uncontrollable surge of electrical activity in the brain. Seizures are classified into two types. Seizures that affect the entire brain are known as generalized seizures. Focal seizures, also known as partial seizures, affect only one part of the brain. A mild seizure can be difficult to detect. It can last a few seconds, and you are unaware of it. Stronger seizures, lasting from a few seconds to several minutes, can cause spasms and uncontrollable muscle twitches.

Epilepsy symptoms vary according to the area of the brain where seizure activity occurs and the type of seizure. Epilepsy symptoms may include: stiff muscles, Become stiff and falling backward, muscles relaxing and going floppy, confusion, breathing becomes difficult, unconscious, visual disturbances/hallucinations, uncontrollable jerking and shaking, called a "fit," losing awareness and staring blankly into space, strange sensations, such as a "rising" feeling in the tummy, unusual smells or tastes, and a tingling feeling in your arms or legs and collapsing. Epilepsy treatment can help most people with epilepsy have fewer seizures or completely stop having seizures.
