Rhea-AI Summary

UCB announced the publication of a Phase 3 trial in JAMA Neurology, demonstrating that FINTEPLA (fenfluramine) significantly reduces drop seizure frequency in Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) patients. The study met its primary endpoint, with a mean reduction of 19.9% in drop seizures compared to placebo (P=.001). FINTEPLA, recently approved by the FDA, is shown to be effective in patients suffering from generalized tonic-clonic seizures, addressing high morbidity associated with LGS. The treatment was well-tolerated, but monitoring for cardiovascular issues is required due to potential risks.
