About Clemizole Hydrochloride (EPX-100)
EPX-100, clemizole hydrochloride, is an investigational product under development for the treatment of Dravet syndrome (DS) and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS). EPX-100 acts by targeting central 5-hydroxytryptamine 2 (5HT-2) receptors to modulate serotonin signaling. EPX-100 is administered orally twice a day in a liquid formulation and has been developed based on a proprietary phenotype-based zebrafish drug screening platform. These scn1Lab mutant zebrafish replicate the genetic etiology and phenotype observed in the majority of individuals with DS. The scn1Lab mutant zebrafish model that expresses voltage gated sodium channels has been used for high-throughput screening of compounds that modulate Nav1.1 in the central nervous system.
About Dravet Syndrome
Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe and progressive developmental epileptic encephalopathy that causes significant impact on patient functioning. DS begins in the first year of life and is characterized by high seizure frequency and severity, intellectual disability, and an increased risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Approximately 85% of Dravet syndrome cases are caused by de novo loss-of-function (LOF) mutations in a voltage-gated sodium channel gene, SCN1A. DS has an estimated incidence rate of 1:15,700 in the US.
