Notes

EpilepsyGTx is a biotechnology company focused on developing gene therapies for focal refractory epilepsy. Refractory epilepsy refers to cases where seizures cannot be adequately controlled with existing anti-epileptic drugs, representing a significant unmet medical need affecting approximately one-third of epilepsy patients.

Gene therapy approaches for epilepsy aim to directly modify the genetic causes of seizure activity in the brain, potentially offering long-lasting seizure control where pharmacological treatments have failed. This represents a growing area of research with multiple companies pursuing different gene therapy strategies.
