- "We have generated additional efficacy data from subgroup analyses of our Phase 2b X-TOLE trial, which further support our Phase 3 development plans for XEN1101. A 'time course to efficacy' analysis shows that all doses of XEN1101 rapidly reduced the frequency of focal onset seizures within one week compared to placebo, suggesting that XEN1101 may offer a compelling and differentiated option for patients seeking to quickly reduce seizure frequency," stated Mr. Ian Mortimer, Xenon's President, and Chief Executive Officer.
