SAN DIEGO, Aug. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Neurelis, Inc. will present additional clinical findings from the completed long-term, open-label, repeat-dose safety study of VALTOCO for the treatment of episodes of frequent seizure activity (i.e., seizure clusters) in people with epilepsy for ages 6 to 65 at the 35th International Epilepsy Congress (IEC) in Dublin, Ireland, September 2 to 6. The congress is organized by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) and International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE).

Key Points: 
  • The congress is organized by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) and International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE).
  • "Despite availability of chronic, daily oral medications to help control seizures, many patients continue to experience acute repetitive seizures," said Adrian L. Rabinowicz, M.D., Neurelis Chief Medical Officer.
  • These data demonstrate that over a 12-month period, a statistically significant increase in the time between seizure clusters was observed with administration of diazepam nasal spray.
  • This change in SEIVAL appears to be independent of age or changes in concomitant ASDs and may reflect a beneficial effect of intermittent rescue therapy with diazepam nasal spray.
