Marinus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (MRNS) Shares Spike as Phase 1 Results for Ganaxolone Pave Way for Phase 2 Study

Company: Marinus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (MRNS)
Category: News

Marinus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: MRNS) is trading more than 6% higher this morning after the company announced favorable results from its phase 1 dose-escalation study in which ganaxolone intravenous (IV) achieved dose levels targeted for efficacy in patients with status epilepticus (SE) – a life-threatening medical emergency associated with high mortality and limited treatments – and other indications. The phase 1 clinical study enrolled 36 subjects at Duke University Medical Center and was designed to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety of ganaxolone IV administered as an ascending bolus dose (Stage 1) or continuous infusion (Stage 2). Marinus is making preparations to commence its Phase 2 clinical study in patients with SE in 2017. Earlier this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Orphan Drug Designation to ganaxolone IV for the treatment of SE.
