Praxis Precision Medicines Inc
praxismedicines.comPraxis Precision Medicines (NASDAQ: PRAX) is a clinical-stage central nervous system biopharmaceutical company developing small molecule and antisense oligonucleotide therapies targeting genetic epilepsies and other CNS disorders. The company generates revenue through collaboration and license agreements rather than product sales, as no candidates have received regulatory approval as of the 10-K filed February 19, 2026. Praxis operates two internal discovery platforms: Cerebrum, focused on CNS small molecules, and Solidus, an ASO platform. Its most advanced candidate, ulixacaltamide, a selective T-type calcium channel inhibitor for essential tremor, has received FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation and a submitted New Drug Application. Two additional clinical-stage candidates, vormatrigine and relutrigine, target developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Praxis has an exclusive collaboration and license agreement with Tenacia Biotechnology (Shanghai) to develop and commercialize ulixacaltamide in China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. PRAX-020 has been in-licensed by UCB Biopharma SRL. The company is headquartered in the United States and has commenced commercial preparations and pre-launch activities for ulixacaltamide.
