Current report

The FDA has completed its Bioresearch Monitoring, or BIMO, inspection as part of its ongoing review of the ulixacaltamide and relutrigine NDAs. The BIMO inspection was conducted jointly for both applications, and the scope of the inspection was comprehensive, spanning overall quality and clinical operations, data integrity, including statistical and interim analyses, and safety, amongst other standard areas in the BIMO program. The inspection was completed successfully, and no form 483 was issued.

Previous wording

Our platforms utilize a deliberate, pragmatic and patient-guided approach, leveraging a suite of translational tools, including novel transgenic and predictive translational animal models and electrophysiology markers, to enable an efficient path to proof-of-concept in patients. Through this approach, we have established a diversified, multimodal CNS portfolio with four clinical-stage product candidates across movement disorders and epilepsy.

Through this approach, we have established a diversified, multimodal CNS portfolio with four late-stage product candidates across movement disorders and epilepsy.

Previous wording

For our ulixacaltamide program within the Cerebrum™ platform, we announced positive topline results for the two studies in the Phase 3 Essential3 program in essential tremor, or ET, in October 2025. We submitted a New Drug Application, or NDA, for ulixacaltamide HCl for the treatment of ET to the FDA, and it was accepted for review with a target action date under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, of January 29, 2027. In anticipation of potential approval, commercial preparations and pre-launch activities are ongoing.

Current wording

For our ulixacaltamide program within the Cerebrum™ platform, we submitted a New Drug Application, or NDA, for ulixacaltamide HCl for the treatment of essential tremor, or ET, to the FDA based on the positive results of our two studies in the Phase 3 Essential3 program in ET, and it was accepted for review with a target action date under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, of January 29, 2027. The mid-cycle meeting was successfully completed and the FDA has identified no major safety or efficacy concerns to date. The agency confirmed that no advisory committee meeting is planned. In anticipation of potential approval, commercial preparations and pre-launch activities are ongoing. In July 2026, we entered into a research collaboration and license agreement with Remagine Labs, Inc., a developer of electronically controlled transdermal drug delivery systems, to develop an iontophoretic transdermal patch for the delivery of ulixacaltamide.

Previous wording

For our relutrigine program within the Cerebrum™ platform, in December 2025, we announced positive results from the registrational cohort of the EMBOLD study in SCN2A and SCN8A developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, or DEEs, after receiving a recommendation from the Data Monitoring Committee to stop the study early for efficacy. We submitted an NDA for relutrigine for the treatment of SCN2A-DEE and SCN8A-DEE to the FDA, and it was accepted for priority review with a target PDUFA action date of September 27, 2026. In anticipation of potential approval, commercial preparations and pre-launch activities are ongoing. The EMERALD study, which is evaluating relutrigine in patients with broad DEEs, has completed recruitment, with topline results anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026. Assuming approval of the NDA for relutrigine, we believe the EMERALD study, if positive, could serve as the basis for a supplemental NDA, or sNDA, submission in 2027.

In June 2026, the FDA notified us that it had extended by three months the review period for our NDA for relutrigine, setting an updated PDUFA action date of December 27, 2026. The mid-cycle meeting was successfully completed and the FDA has identified no major safety or efficacy concerns to date. The agency confirmed that no advisory committee meeting is planned.

Previous wording

For our vormatrigine program within the Cerebrum™ platform, our ENERGY program is ongoing, which consists of five studies to generate patient eligibility, efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics, or PK, data in patients with focal onset seizures, or FOS, or generalized epilepsy. Studies under the ENERGY program include EMPOWER, RADIANT, POWER1, POWER2 and POWER3. In the second half of 2025, we announced positive results from our RADIANT Phase 2 open-label study evaluating the PK, safety and efficacy of vormatrigine in patients with FOS or generalized epilepsy. We initiated the EMPOWER study, an observational study of vormatrigine in patients with epilepsy, in the third quarter of 2024. For our POWER1 study, a double-blind, placebo-controlled, 12-week study in FOS, we expect to announce topline results in the second quarter of 2026. POWER2, our third efficacy study, is enrolling patients, with completion expected in the second half of 2026 and topline results expected in 2027. We intend to initiate POWER3, a clinical trial evaluating vormatrigine as a single-agent treatment for FOS, in the first half of 2026.

In June 2026, we announced that the primary endpoint was not met in our POWER1 study, a double-blind, placebo-controlled, 12-week study in FOS. We paused enrollment in POWER2, our third efficacy study, to reassess the vormatrigine program and determine potential modifications. We intend to restart enrollment of the POWER2 study and initiate the POWER3 study, a clinical trial evaluating vormatrigine as a single-agent treatment for FOS, in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Previous wording

For our most advanced product candidate under the Solidus™ platform, elsunersen, we announced positive topline results from the EMBRAVE Part A study evaluating the safety and efficacy of elsunersen versus sham procedure in April 2026 for treating SCN2A gain-of-function DEE. We are currently enrolling EMBRAVE3, a Phase 3 registrational study for SCN2A gain-of-function DEE, and expect to announce topline results in 2027.

We are currently enrolling EMBRAVE3, a Phase 3 registrational study for early-seizure-onset SCN2A DEE, and expect to announce topline results in 2027.

Previous wording

We also have three earlier stage novel ASOs with preclinical proof of mechanism. PRAX-080 is focused on PCDH19 mosaic expression, PRAX-090 is targeting SYNGAP1 loss-of-function, or LoF, mutations which is a leading cause of severe intellectual disability and epilepsy in DEEs, and PRAX-100 is targeting SCN2A LoF mutations, the predominant genetic link to de novo autism spectrum disorders, or ASD. We anticipate nominating a development candidate for PRAX-080, PRAX-090 and PRAX-100 in the first half of 2026.

Previous wording

We are a development stage company and we have not generated any revenue from product sales. All of our product candidates are in preclinical and clinical development or awaiting regulatory approval. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates, if approved. We have incurred recurring operating losses since inception, including a net loss of $92.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.2 billion. We expect to incur significant expenses for the foreseeable future as we expand our research and development activities and prepare for commercialization of our product candidates. In addition, our losses from operations may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of our clinical trials and our expenditures on other research and development activities. We anticipate that our expenses will be maintained or increased in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:

Previous wording

Since our inception, we have not recorded any U.S. federal or state income tax benefits for the net losses we have incurred in each year or for our earned research and development tax credits due to our uncertainty of realizing a benefit from those items. Income taxes are determined at the applicable tax rates adjusted for non-deductible expenses, research and development tax credits and other permanent differences. Our income tax provision may be significantly affected by changes to our estimates. There was no income tax provision recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
