At Praxis, we believe that if families and caregivers are a part of the research and development process it will improve our chances to successfully deliver a potentially disease-modifying treatment to patients with mutations in the SCN2A gene.

On Wednesday, April 28, Praxis was granted orphan-drug designation (ODD) by the FDA for PRAX-562 for “treatment of SCN2A developmental and epileptic encephalopathy.”

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to SCN2A community members who joined us for our virtual community discussions in March. We hope you found the information helpful.

Like you, we at Praxis Precision Medicines (Praxis) envision a future where there is greater understanding of SCN2A-related gene mutations and better treatments to help the children and families affected by this rare disorder.

Exciting news for the SCN2A community! Praxis has recently entered into an innovative research collaboration with The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health.

At Praxis, we honor International #SCN2A Awareness Day and remain committed to providing therapies for patients as efficiently as possible.

Innovative collaboration to be implemented across multiple indications starting with SCN2A-DEE
