Soticlestat
Sold rights back to Takeda Pharmaceuticals

Overview
- Soticlestat is a potential novel inhibitor of cholesterol 24-hydroxylase that is thought to control seizures by reducing:
- Over-activatedglutamatergic signaling; neuronal hyperexcitability
- Inflammation
- Ovid co-developed soticlestat with Takeda from preclinical trials through to Phase 2
- Sold rights back to Takeda in 2021*
- Takeda conducted & completed two, Phase 3 trials:
- SKYWAY in Lennox-Gastaut syndrome
- SKYLINE in Dravet syndrome
- If Takeda secures regulatory approval for soticlestat, Ovid may receive potential milestones and royalties
*Ovid sold its 50% share of rights back to Takeda

Topline SKYLINE & SKYWAY results
DRAVET SYNDROME | LENNOX-GASTAUT SYNDROME | |
Primary endpoint
- Soticlestat narrowly missed primary endpoint of reduction from baseline in convulsive seizure frequency vs. placebo (p-value= 0.06)
- Soticlestat showed, in a pre-specified subgroups of patients, significant treatment effects on the primary efficacy endpoint,
- Soticlestat missed its primary endpoint in reduction in major motor drop seizure
Secondary | 6 key secondary endpoints showed clinically meaningful and | • Some secondary endpoints showed | |
endpoints | significant results (all p-values≤ to 0.008) | significant treatment effects | |
• | Responder rate | ||
• | Caregiver and clinician global impression of improvement scales | ||
• Seizure intensity and seizure duration scales | |||
Safety | Favorable safety and tolerability profile consistent with prior trials | ||
Pooled analysis | • Soticlestat showed reduction from baseline in convulsive seizure | • N/A | |
with Phase 2 | frequency compared to placebo (p-value=0.001) |
Takeda moving forward to discuss the totality of the data with regulatory authorities
