RADNOR, Pa., June 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marinus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: MRNS), a pharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of innovative therapeutics to treat rare seizure disorders, today provided a pipeline update in advance of it clinical and commercial overview.
“With a final protocol in place, we are on-track to begin our Phase 3 pivotal trial in status epilepticus next quarter,” said Scott Braunstein, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Marinus. “Our Phase 3 trial is designed to demonstrate both rapid onset of antiepileptic activity along with sustained status cessation, allowing physicians to focus their attention on the patients’ underlying disease state and avoid the often devastating consequences of uncontrolled SE and anesthesia induced coma.”
Dr. Braunstein added, "Our oral ganaxolone program has focused on rare genetic epilepsies with a biology-driven scientific foundation underserved by current available treatment options. To that end, we have initiated a Phase 2 study in tuberous sclerosis complex-related epilepsy and are preparing for our Phase 3 data readout in CDD next quarter. We look forward to sharing further details on our clinical and commercial strategies during our pipeline update event today and are thrilled to have KOL engagement and insight as we discuss our programs.”
Pipeline Update:
Status Epilepticus (SE)
CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder (CDD)
Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC)
