Praxis Precision Medicines, Inc. plans to move ulixacaltamide for essential tremor into Phase III development after announcing mixed results from the Phase IIb Essential1 trial, meaning it has found some success in shifting its R&D focus after a study of its drug for depression failed in 2022. But some uncertainty remains about the proposed primary endpoint for the ulixacaltamide Phase III trial based on its communication with US regulators.
