DRAVET SYNDROME DRUG DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE REVIEW 2018

It has been a year since we released the 2017 Dravet Syndrome Pipeline and Opportunities Review, a market research publication that provides an overview of the global therapeutic landscape of Dravet syndrome.

There have been many developments in the last year, including the approval by the FDA of Epidiolex (cannabidiol) by GW Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of Dravet syndrome, the announcement of positive data from two Phase III clinical trials with ZX008 from Zogenix, and the arrival of a new company pursuing a disease-modifying antisense-based approach (Stoke Therapeutics). 

The 2018 Dravet Syndrome Pipeline and Opportunities Review provides a review and analysis of 14 drug candidates in development for the treatment of Dravet syndrome, including 9 products that have received orphan drug designations.

The report includes the most recent updates on Epidiolex (cannabidiol) from GW Pharmaceuticals; ZX008 (fenfluramine) from Zogenix; Translarna (ataluren) from PTC Therapeutics; OV935 (TAK-935) from Ovid Therapeutics and Takeda; EPX-100, EPX-200 and EPX-300 from Epygenix Therapeutics; ZYN002 (transdermal cannabidiol) from Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, BIS-001 (huperzine) from Biscayne Neurotherapeutics; PRAX-330 from Praxis Precision Medicines; SAGE-324 from Sage Therapeutics; OPK88001 from OPKO Health; XEN901 from Xenon Pharmaceuticals; and an ASO program from Stoke Therapeutics.

The 2018 Dravet Syndrome Pipeline and Opportunities Review also includes an analysis of the competitive landscape and evaluates current and future opportunities of the Dravet syndrome market. 

The report is now available in this site.
