#Bexicaserin News: New data from the PACIFIC Study, LP352-202, Open Label Extension (OLE) will be presented at the 36th International Epilepsy Congress (IEC) in Lisbon, Portugal (Aug 30 - Sept 3, 2025).

The full results of the open label extension (OLE) of the Phase 1b/2a PACIFIC trial investigating bexicaserin for the treatment of patients with Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies (DEEs), will be presented for the first time at the International Epilepsy Annual Congress

Bexicaserin, which has been granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA, demonstrated reductions in countable and total motor seizure frequency in the extension study comparable to reductions seen in the Phase 1b/2a PACIFIC trial, reinforcing durability of response and validating its progression to Phase 3 trials.

Additional data will be presented from the audiogenic seizure model and the GAERS absence epilepsy model, investigating sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), and seizure reduction respectively.

During the OLE, a median reduction of 59.3% in countable motor seizure frequency was observed, with 55% of participants experiencing reductions of ≥50% compared to the baseline before the PACIFIC trial.
