01. Other Events

Item 8.01. Other Events. On March 26, 2024, Praxis Precision Medicines, Inc. (the "Company") reported the following results from its Phase 2a proof of concept study evaluating PRAX-628 in epilepsy patients with photo paroxysmal response ("PPR"): Summary of Response Cohort Partial Response Rate Complete Response Rate Total Response 15 mg 20% (1) 80% (4) 100% (5) 45 mg -- 100% (3) 100% (3) Combined 12% (1) 88% (7) 100% (8) In the PPR study, patient electroencephalogram signatures were assessed at defined measurement points over a 24-hour period after receiving placebo or PRAX-628, and results were compared to baseline. Patients must have demonstrated PPR during screening and baseline to be evaluable. A total of six patients patients were baselined in the 15 mg cohort, of whom five were evaluable. One patient in the 15 mg cohort did not present adequate PPR at baseline to be evaluated. Four patients were baselined in the 45 mg cohort, of whom three were evaluable. One patient in the 45 mg cohort was not evaluable due to lack of eligibility. Three patients from the 15 mg cohort participated in the 45 mg cohort after a washout period of >100 days. Three patients were on background anti-seizure medications. A complete response was a reduction to zero in the number of generalized PPR events at any assessment period versus baseline. A partial response was a reduction, other than to zero, in the number of generalized PPR events at any assessment period versus baseline. Safety results were consistent with the Company's prior Phase 1 dose escalation study of PRAX-628 and pharmacokinetic analysis confirmed therapeutic exposures. The Company plans to initiate an efficacy study in focal onset epilepsy in the second half of 2024.
