Praxis Medicines to Present at 36th International Epilepsy Congress 2025 in Lisbon, Showcasing Latest RADIANT Study Data and Leading Precision Epilepsy Pipeline

Praxis Precision Medicines, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRAX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for central nervous system (CNS) disorders, today announced its participation in the upcoming International Epilepsy Congress (IEC), taking place August 30–September 3, 2025, in Lisbon, Portugal.

In addition to showcasing recent topline results from the RADIANT study in focal onset seizures (FOS), Praxis will share the latest preclinical and clinical data and progress on trials across its precision epilepsy pipeline over twelve presentations at the event:

  • Vormatrigine: Showcasing positive topline RADIANT results in FOS, updates from the first-in-human Phase 1 study, and further preclinical and clinical data supporting the accelerated advancement of the POWER1 pivotal study and the wider ENERGY program, poised to transform the epilepsy landscape.
  • Relutrigine: Sharing the latest from the EMBOLD study in SCN2A- and SCN8A-DEE, the EMERALD registrational study in broad DEEs, as well as preclinical data emphasizing the promising potential of relutrigine to address significant unmet needs across the spectrum of DEEs.
  • Elsunersen: Highlighting the ongoing EMBRAVE3 registrational study, alongside updates from the global emergency use cases demonstrating potential for long-term benefits, consistent safety and tolerability, and potential for further enhancement by precision sodium channel modulation in patients with early onset SCN2A gain-of-function DEE.

"IEC is an important moment to showcase how our science is translating into meaningful potential for people living with epilepsy," said Steven Petrou, chief scientific officer and co-founder of Praxis. "We look forward to engaging with the clinical and advocacy communities in Lisbon to share progress and highlight the strength of our patient-centered approach to epilepsy. This includes the latest from the RADIANT study in FOS, further validating the differentiation of our precision epilepsy platform, as well as updates on our rapidly enrolling studies. These advancements offer exciting insights into the therapeutic potential of our pipeline and reinforce our commitment to developing transformative treatments for people with epilepsy."

Praxis will be present at Booth #435 and adjoining scientific exhibit , where attendees can connect with the team and explore the company's broader work in epilepsy and commitment to delivering meaningful, patient-centered outcomes through its proprietary small molecule and ASO platforms.

About Vormatrigine (PRAX-628)

Vormatrigine is a functionally selective small molecule targeting the hyperexcitable state of sodium-channels in the brain that is currently being developed as a once daily, oral treatment for adult focal onset seizures and generalized epilepsy. Preclinical data demonstrates vormatrigine is differentiated from standard of care, with the potential to be best-in-class for focal epilepsy. In vitro, vormatrigine has demonstrated superior selectivity for disease-state NaV channel hyperexcitability. In vivo studies of vormatrigine have demonstrated unprecedented potency in the maximal electroshock seizure (MES) model, a highly predictive translational model for efficacy in focal epilepsy. Data from the first cohort of patients with focal onset seizures in the RADIANT study demonstrated robust seizure reduction and a generally safe and well tolerated profile. To learn more about the POWER1 study, please visit POWER1 study .

About Relutrigine (PRAX-562)

Relutrigine is a first-in-class small molecule in development for the treatment of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) as a preferential inhibitor of persistent sodium current, shown to be a key driver of seizure symptoms in severe DEEs. Relutrigine's mechanism of precision sodium channel (NaV) modulation is consistent with superior selectivity for disease-state NaV channel hyperexcitability. In vivo studies of relutrigine have demonstrated dose-dependent inhibition of seizures up to complete control of seizure activity in SCN2A, SCN8A and other DEE mouse models. Relutrigine has been generally well-tolerated in three Phase 1 studies and has demonstrated biomarker changes indicative of NaV channel modulation. Data from cohort 1 of the Phase 2 EMBOLD study demonstrated a well-tolerated, robust, short- and long-term improvement in motor seizures in a heavily pre-treated population, alongside maintained seizure freedom in some patients with SCN2A- and SCN8A-DEE. Relutrigine has received Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation from the FDA for the treatment of SCN2A-DEE, SCN8A-DEE and Dravet syndrome; as well as Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD), and ODD from the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of SCN2A-DEE and SCN8A-DEE. To learn more about the EMERALD and EMBOLD studies, please visit ResilienceStudies.com .

About Elsunersen (PRAX-222)

Elsunersen is an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) designed to selectively decrease SCN2A gene expression, directly targeting the underlying cause of early-seizure-onset SCN2A-DEE to treat seizures and other symptoms in patients with gain-of-function SCN2A mutations. In vitro studies of elsunersen have demonstrated reduction in both SCN2A gene expression and protein levels. In vivo, elsunersen has demonstrated significant, dose-dependent reduction in seizures, improvement in behavioral and locomotor activity and increased survival in SCN2A mouse models, with potential to be the first disease-modifying treatment for SCN2A-DEE. Elsunersen has received ODD and RPDD from the FDA, and ODD and PRIME designations from the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of SCN2A-DEE. The elsunersen program is ongoing under a collaboration with Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and RogCon, Inc. To learn more about the EMBRAVE study, please visit ResilienceStudies.com/embrave .
