Current report
•Demonstrated halting of disease progression. MIPLYFFA in combination with miglustat demonstrated a clinically significant improvement compared to placebo as early as 12 weeks and a halting of progression of the disease through 12 months of treatment. Data from the 4 year Open Label Extension study confirms the effectiveness of MIPLYFFA in halting disease progression over 4 years.
Current report
•Ease of flexible administration as an oral treatment. MIPLYFFA is administered as an oral capsule that can be swallowed whole, opened and contents mixed with foods or liquids, or delivered through a feeding tube.
Current report
•Extensive clinical experience with favorable safety data. Over 600 patients have been treated with MIPLYFFA across various clinical trials and indications as well as through our NPC EAPs, with no safety findings of concern found.
Current report
•Advantageous regulatory designations. MIPLYFFA has been granted orphan medical product designation for the treatment of NPC by the European Commission. On April 1, 2025, we completed the sale of the PRV, which we received upon approval of MIPLYFFA.
Current report
In the second quarter of 2025, the Company assessed the results of its refined commercial efforts related to OLPRUVA. This was determined to be a triggering event that could result in a decrease in future expected cash flows, and thus indicated the carrying amount of the OLPRUVA asset group may not be fully recoverable. The Company performed an undiscounted cash flow analysis over the OLPRUVA asset group and determined that the carrying value of the asset group is not recoverable. The Company then estimated the fair value of the asset group to measure the impairment loss for the period. Significant assumptions used to determine this fair value measurement included projected sales driven by market share and product sales price estimates, associated expenses, growth rates, and the discount rate used to measure the fair value of the net cash flows associated with this asset group. The Company recorded an intangible asset impairment charge of $58.7 million in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Current report
•OLPRUVA is available in the U.S for the treatment of certain types of UCDs. OLPRUVA is an adjunctive therapy for long-term management of adults and children weighing 20kg or greater with UCD from deficiencies of CPS, OTC, or AS.
Current report
•OLPRUVA is differentiated from currently available forms of phenylbutyrate. OLPRUVA is formulated to improve palatability while providing patients with a portable and discrete pre-measured dose.
Current report
•Zevra has assembled a team to support OLPRUVA and additional future commercial products. We have established an efficient commercial team which is designed to fully service the patients and prescribers within the rare disease indications we are pursuing.
Current report
•Currently, no approved treatments for VEDS in the U.S. There are currently no approved treatments of VEDS in the U.S., and we believe that celiprolol, if approved, could be a significant innovation in the treatment of VEDS in the U.S. where current treatment options are focused primarily on surgical intervention.
Current report
•Unique pharmacological profile. Mechanism of action in VEDS patients is thought to be through vascular dilatation and smooth muscle relaxation, the effect of which is to reduce the mechanical stress on collagen fibers in the arterial wall, and thereby potentially less incidence of vascular ruptures.
Current report
•Evidence of efficacy in the EU and extensive clinical experience from multiple trials. Celiprolol has become the primary treatment for VEDS patients in several European countries. BBEST Clinical Trial data showed 76% reduction in risk of arterial events observed in COLA3A1+ subpopulation, with additional data from a long-term observational study in France.
Current report
•Regulatory designations. Celiprolol for VEDS would be considered an NCE in the U.S. and has been granted Orphan Drug designation and Breakthrough Therapy designation.
Current report
•Solid patent protection through 2038. Celiprolol is generally protected by U.S. patents that will expire, after utilizing all appropriate patent term adjustments but excluding possible term extensions, in 2038.
Current report
•No drug-to-drug interactions observed to date. We have not observed drug-to-drug interactions in clinical drug-drug interaction studies.
Current report
•Potential for reduced abuse potential as a Schedule IV controlled substance. All other methylphenidate-based products have been designated as Schedule II controlled substances, which indicates stricter control over the prescribing and use of such products. KP1077's sole active pharmaceutical ingredient is SDX, which has been designated a Schedule IV controlled substance.
Current report
•No currently approved generic equivalent product. KP1077 contains SDX, our proprietary prodrug of d-methylphenidate, also known as the new chemical name, serdexmethylphenidate, by the U.S. Adopted Names Council of the American Medical Association, which means that there may be no generic equivalent product for KP1077 in most states, making drug-equivalent substitution potentially difficult at the pharmacy.
Current report
•Orphan drug designation. Because the size of the IH patient population is small, the FDA has granted KP1077 orphan drug designation for the treatment of IH. We believe KP1077 may potentially be eligible for fast-track and breakthrough therapy designation, which may provide various regulatory benefits for the development program.

Previous report
During the first half of 2024, we initiated the commercial launch of OLPRUVA in the U.S. We have focused our initial efforts on the approximately 40 metabolic treatment centers of excellence (“COE”) across the United States, which treat the majority of UCD patients, to build awareness with physicians regarding the benefits of OLPRUVA. In the months since launch, our team has been able to engage with prescribers in more than 90% of these COEs. We have seen meaningful growth in reimbursement coverage, which was approximately 55% of U.S. covered lives at the time of acquisition, to now approximately 78%. In the third quarter of 2024, Zevra made a data-driven shift in our OLPRUVA commercial strategy to target specific patient segments that will receive the greatest benefit from OLPRUVA and face fewer reimbursement hurdles. To support this refinement in strategy, we focused our resources and promotional efforts in the third quarter to drive patient identification and to improve pull-through with payors. Specifically, we are targeting patients seeking greater lifestyle independence who could benefit from the “ammonia control on the go” that OLPRUVA offers.

Previous wording
Our five-year strategic plan is focused on the continued transformation of Zevra into a leading rare-disease company. In addition to the commercialization of OLPRUVA and the approval and subsequent launch of MIPLYFFA, in the third quarter of 2024 we discontinued our in-house drug discovery activities and closed our laboratory facilities in Iowa and Virginia to prioritize near-term resources for our late-stage clinical development and commercial opportunities. In the future, we plan to outsource our discovery and early development activities and further expand our pipeline through both internal development and through our business development activities to collaborate, partner, and potentially acquire additional assets. We intend to target assets that we believe will allow us to leverage the expertise and infrastructure that we have built to help mitigate risk and enhance our probability of success. If we are successful, expanding our pipeline could be accretive to our value proposition and has the potential to create incremental long-term value for stockholders.

During the first quarter of 2025, we withdrew the NDA for APADAZ, our approved product for the treatment of pain based on benzhydrocodone, our prodrug of hydrocodone. While this product has not been commercially available over the last few years, this decision eliminates all regulatory activities needed to maintain the approval, reducing costs for a product where currently there is not an economically viable addressable market. We will continue to optimize and curate our IP portfolio through a variety of avenues to extract value for the benefit of shareholders, as demonstrated through these recent activities. In addition, as part of our ongoing IP portfolio review, we licensed certain IP related to our pre-clinical stage prodrug of dextrorphan in April 2025 to an undisclosed party for an upfront payment of $250,000, potential future regulatory milestones of up to $8.45 million and single-digit royalties on net sales.

On September 20, 2024, the FDA approved the New Drug Application (“NDA”) for MIPLYFFA® (arimoclomol), for use in combination with miglustat for the treatment of neurological manifestations of Niemann-Pick disease type C (“NPC”) in adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older. MIPLYFFA is an orally-delivered treatment for NPC, which is an ultra-rare and progressive neurodegenerative disease. In connection with this approval, we received a transferable rare pediatric disease priority review voucher (“PRV”). On April 1, 2025, we consummated the sale of the PRV to a buyer, resulting in net proceeds of $148.3 million to the Company. MIPLYFFA has also been granted orphan medical product designation for the treatment of NPC by the European Commission. In November 2024, MIPLYFFA became commercially available for dispense.

NPC is characterized by an inability of the body to transport cholesterol and lipids inside of cells. Symptoms of NPC include a progressive impairment of mobility, cognition, speech, and swallowing, often culminating in premature death. The incidence of NPC is estimated to be one in 100,000 to 130,000 live births. We estimate that there are approximately 1,800 individuals with NPC in the U.S. and Europe combined, of which approximately 900 are in the U.S. and 1,100 are in the EU, where there is a mature market with an approved treatment available for NPC. Of these, approximately 300 to 350 people have been diagnosed in the U.S. However, diagnostic challenges may affect the number of potential patients, and we believe that the availability of treatment options in the U.S. could increase awareness of the disease and assist in more accurately identifying patients.

Effective therapies to treat NPC are desperately needed, and, for this reason, MIPLYFFA is currently being made available to NPC patients in France, Germany, and other EU member states under various EAPs. MIPLYFFA has also been granted orphan medical product designation for the treatment of NPC by the European Commission. As of March 31, 2025, there were a total of 122 enrollments toreceive MIPLYFFA, which included conversion of all active participants in our U.S. EAP, which we expect to close by the end of the second quarter of 2025. Our commercial plans will focus on continuing to raise awareness among people who are living with NPC that are diagnosed and untreated, or undiagnosed. For MIPLYFFA, an enrollment is a prescription submitted to our specialty pharmacy, initiating the benefits investigation process to determine reimbursement and can lead to a 30-day paid dispense of MIPLYFFA.

UCDs are a group of rare genetic disorders that can cause harmful ammonia to build up in the blood, potentially resulting in brain damage and neurocognitive impairments, if ammonia levels are not controlled. Any increase in ammonia over time is serious. Therefore, it is important to adhere to any dietary protein restrictions and have alternative medication options to help control ammonia levels. Approximately 1 in 100,000 people have UCD, and there are an estimated 800 patients who are actively treated with nitrogen scavenging therapy in the U.S. While there are therapies currently approved for the treatment of UCDs - specifically RAVICTI, marketed by Amgen, Inc. (formerly Horizon Therapeutics) and PHEBURANE, marketed by Medunik USA - there remain unmet needs for this community of patients. OLPRUVA offers benefits over other UCD treatments by eliminating issues with palatability, offering improved portability with its single-dose envelopes, and it comes in a dosage personalized to the patient based on weight.

In July 2022, Acer initiated enrollment in a Phase 3 long-term event-driven clinical trial designed based on the discussions from the May 2021 Type B meeting with the FDA, also known as the DiSCOVER trial. The DiSCOVER trial intends to enroll 150 VEDS patients, with 100 patients receiving celiprolol and 50 patients receiving placebo. Recruitment in the Phase-3 trial was restarted mid-2024 after a brief hiatus and the trial has 32 enrolled participants as of March 31, 2025. We believe that celiprolol could address significant unmet needs as there are currently no approved treatments for VEDS in the U.S.

Narcolepsy is a rare, chronic, debilitating neurologic disorder of sleep-wake state instability that impacts up to 200,000 Americans and is primarily characterized by EDS and cataplexy (sudden loss of muscle tone while a person is awake) along with other manifestations of rapid eye movement, sleep dysregulation, which intrude into wakefulness. In most patients, narcolepsy is caused by the loss of hypocretin, a neuropeptide in the brain that supports sleep-wake state stability. Typical symptom onset occurs in adolescence or young adulthood, but it can take up to a decade to be properly diagnosed. Although there are several approved medications for narcolepsy, we believe a treatment option based on serdexmethylphenidate (“SDX”), our proprietary prodrug of d-methylphenidate (“d-MPH”), which has previously been classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance, may be beneficial.

KP1077 utilizes SDX, our prodrug of d-MPH, as its active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”). During the first quarter of 2022, we initiated a Phase 1 clinical trial comparing the cardiovascular safety of SDX to immediate-release and long-acting formulations of RITALIN, a commonly prescribed central nervous system (“CNS”) stimulant. In September 2022, we announced topline data from our exploratory Phase 1 clinical trial, which showed the potential for higher dose formulations of SDX to be safe and well tolerated while avoiding the potential for greater cardiovascular safety risk compared to immediate-release and long-acting formulations of RITALIN.
