Praxis Precision Medicines Priced, Nasdaq: PRAX

Phase 2 biotech developing therapies for CNS disorders using genetic insights.

Industry: Health Care

First Day Return: +46.3%

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company translating genetic insights into the development of therapies for central nervous system, or CNS, disorders characterized by neuronal imbalance. Normal brain function requires a delicate balance of excitation and inhibition in neuronal circuits, which, when dysregulated, can lead to abnormal function and disease. We are applying insights into the genetic mutations that drive excitation-inhibition imbalance in diseases to select biological targets for severe pediatric epilepsies and more broadly for prevalent psychiatric diseases and neurologic disorders. We apply a deliberate and pragmatic precision approach, leveraging a suite of translational tools including novel transgenic and predictive translational animal models and electrophysiology markers, to enable an efficient path to proof-of-concept in patients. We have three product candidates currently in clinical development. We intend to develop differentiated therapies that can deliver long-term benefits to human health by meaningfully impacting patients and society. We expect multiple topline clinical trial readouts from our three clinical-stage product candidates prior to the end of 2021 and anticipate the launch of a new clinical development program in 2021.
