Ovid Therapeutics announced the publication of preclinical studies in eNeuro, showcasing OV329's potential effectiveness in treating drug-resistant seizures. OV329, a next-gen GABA-AT inhibitor, demonstrated higher potency compared to vigabatrin, an FDA-approved GABA-AT inhibitor. Sustained exposure to OV329 in mice reduced GABA-AT activity and increased GABA levels in the brain, potentially offering robust and sustained seizure reduction. Additionally, OV329 reduced status epilepticus severity and prevented benzodiazepine resistance development in mice. These findings suggest OV329's differentiated profile and potential for better safety, dosing, and efficacy in refractory seizure treatment.
Ovid Therapeutics and Graviton Bioscience announced positive Phase 1 trial results for their OV888/GV101 capsule, a potential first-in-class therapy for cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM). The trial met its primary objective by demonstrating a favorable safety and tolerability profile, with no serious adverse events reported. Secondary endpoints showed target pharmacokinetic profiles were achieved, supporting once-daily dosing. The capsule was biologically active, producing dose-dependent pharmacodynamic effects. A Phase 2 study is planned for the second half of 2024. The findings indicate OV888/GV101 could be the first oral treatment for CCM, aiming to restore brain endothelial cell function, reduce inflammation, and prevent fibrosis.
Ovid Therapeutics reported on Takeda's Phase 3 study results for soticlestat, a treatment for Dravet syndrome (DS) and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS). The Skyline study in DS narrowly missed its primary endpoint but showed significant effects in secondary endpoints with p-values ≤ 0.008. The Skyway study in LGS missed its primary endpoint. Soticlestat had a favorable safety profile across both studies. Takeda will discuss the total data with regulatory authorities. Ovid highlighted its differentiated pipeline and financial strategy, with cash runway expected to last into H1 2026. Key upcoming milestones include Phase 2 and Phase 1 trials for OV888, OV329, and the KCC2 direct activator OV350.
