[001] This request claims priority over the Provisional Request of U.S. No. 63 / 449.529, filed on March 2, 2023, the full content of which is incorporated by reference herein. BACKGROUND
[002] Essential tremor (ET) is the most common adult movement disorder, affecting up to 2% of the United States population (approximately 7 million Americans). ET is characterized by postural and kinetic tremor of 5 to 12 Hz (i.e., tremor during voluntary movement) in the upper extremities. The most characteristic clinical feature is kinetic tremor of the arms and hands, but tremor can also occur in the head and voice and, less commonly, in the face, legs, and trunk. The diagnosis of ET is based on medical history and neurological examination, as described in the International Parkinson and Movement Disorders Society Consensus Statement on the Classification of Tremors.
[003] There is a range of severity in ET; some patients do not require treatment, while others have severe disability with impairment in activities of daily living such as dressing and eating. ET, by definition, is generally not associated with other neurological signs, although there is growing recognition that ET may also be associated with additional motor features such as postural instability, dystonia, mild to moderate gait ataxia, and eye movement abnormalities. ET is also associated with a high prevalence of comorbid psychiatric disorders, including anxiety and depression. ET often worsens over time, with more severe tremor over years to decades and a corresponding worsening of disability. Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, p. 7 / 254 2 / 211
[004] ET can be sporadic, but a family history of an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern is commonly found and, most importantly, variants in the alpha1G calcium voltage-gated channel subunit gene (CACNA1G), which encodes the Cav3.1 T-type Ca2+ channel isoform, have been identified as the cause of ET in at least three families. The importance of the CACNA1G gene for cerebellar development and function is further highlighted by the observation that variants in this gene can also cause cerebellar atrophy in childhood and spinocerebellar ataxia type 42. The functional consequences of these genetic variants are consistent with the expression of T-type Ca2+ channels in the cerebellum and the cerebellar-thalamo-distal cortical (CTC) circuit and their physiological contribution to oscillatory firing in the thalamus that is synchronized with and likely drives clinically observable tremor.
[005] Propranolol is the only orally administered treatment approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of ET. Propranolol was originally developed for hypertension and, in the treatment of ET, has limited efficacy with side effects (e.g., bradycardia) that frequently lead to discontinuation. The unmet medical need in ET has resulted in the off-label use of medications in various drug classes, including anticonvulsants, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, antipsychotics, and others, with limited appreciable therapeutic benefit for patients with ET. A recent evidence-based review concluded that only propranolol, primidone, and topiramate had sufficient evidence to support efficacy among 28 drugs studied for ET.Surgical interventions that interrupt cerebellar-thalamo-cortical (CTC) disruption activity, such as deep brain stimulation or focused ultrasound, are effective treatments for ET, but carry risks, such as sensory disturbances, etc. Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, page 8 / 254 3 / 211 myparesis, dysarthria, ataxia, gait disturbances, delirium, cognitive decline, tissue damage, venous thromboembolic events, and intracerebral hemorrhage.
[006] Voltage-gated ion channels play a critical role in maintaining the delicate balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition within neuronal networks. Alterations in voltage-gated ion channels, particularly T-type Ca2+ channels, have been implicated in ET. Comprising three isoforms (CaV3.1, CaV3.2, and CaV3.3), T-type Ca2+ channels are widely expressed throughout the brain, especially in the CTC circuit. This class of calcium channels has been shown to play a critical role in modulating neuronal firing patterns, controlling the switch between a tonic and stable firing pattern to one consisting of brief bursts of high-frequency activity in wild-type rodents and in rodent tremor models.It is important to emphasize that aberrant bursts in the CTC circuit occur at the same frequency as upper limb tremor in ET, suggesting that reducing T-type calcium channel-mediated burst firing may have a therapeutic benefit in reducing tremor-related burst firing in the CTC circuit.
[007] PRAX-944 (N-((1-(2-( tert-butylamino)-2-oxoethyl)piperidin-4-yl)methyl)-3-chloro-5-fluorobenzamide hydrochloride) is a selective, state-dependent, high-affinity inhibitor of T-type Ca2+ channels being developed for the treatment of ET. In vitro electrophysiology studies have demonstrated that PRAX-944 has nanomolar specificity and potency for T-type Ca2+ channels (CaV3.1 and CaV3.3).
[008] By blocking T-type Ca2+ channels, PRAX-944 can reduce disruption activity in the CTC circuit and, in turn, reduce tremor and associated disability. PRAX-944 has shown robust activity in an animal model of ET. To date, the PRAX-944 program con Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, page 9 / 254 4 / 211 included 5 phase 1 studies in healthy participants using dose levels from 2.5 mg to 120 mg. Recent clinical studies with PRAX-944 used the MR7 formulation and introduced a titration regimen to achieve higher dose levels. Together, these developments contributed to improved safety and tolerability, as well as a wider therapeutic window compared to the immediate-release (IR) formulation. The MR7 formulation, which was designed to delay tmax and reduce Cmax and have minimal effects on AUC, was associated with a reduction in the frequency of CNS, psychiatric, and general adverse events compared to the IR formulation in 2 studies, Z944103 and Z944-104. Furthermore, the PRAX-944-105 study established that doses above 40 mg are well tolerated when administered in a 28-day titration regimen. No maximum tolerated dose was observed for the MR7 formulation administered in this way, and dosages up to 120 mg are well tolerated.The program also collected preliminary efficacy data in an initial phase 2 study in participants with ET.
[009] With a modified-release (MR) formulation that supports once-daily (1x / day) administration over a well-tolerated dose range of 24 times that exhibits robust pharmacodynamic effects, combined with preliminary efficacy data, there is a clear clinical rationale to support further study of the safety and efficacy of PRAX-944 to address the unmet need in ET.
[0010] However, certain challenges associated with the use of currently available PRAX-944 MR formulations (i.e., placebo, 5 mg, and 20 mg tablets) were identified during clinical studies. For example, for clinically blinded purposes, different dose potencies of PRAX-944 are supplied in multiple tablet combinations (e.g., including one or more placebo, 5 mg, and 20 mg tablets) packaged in blisters. It was found Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, page 10 / 254 5 / 211 Opening blister packs, handling small, round tablets, and taking many pills is especially challenging for patients struggling with movement disorders such as essential tremor (ET). Consequently, there is a need to develop new single-unit dose tablets of appropriate strengths to improve usability for patients, reduce the total number of dosage units (e.g., tablets) needed to deliver a specific dosage strength to a patient, and reduce or eliminate the risk of dosing errors.

[0094] FIGS. 4A-4B represent in vitro (FIG. 4A) and in vivo (FIG. 4B) release profiles for the 20 mg potency modified-release (MR) tablet of PRAX-944 and immediate-release (IR) capsule. For improved tolerability, PRAX-944 is formulated as a modified-release (MR) tablet to extend drug release and absorption and therefore Cmax and prolong the plasma concentration-time profile compared to an immediate-release (IR) dosage form. As shown in FIG. 4A, approximately 100% of PRAX-944 is released within approximately 1 hour for the immediate-release (IR) dosage form; and approximately 80% of PRAX-944 is released within approximately 7 hours for the modified-release (MR) dosage form.
[0095] As shown in FIG. 4B, the IR formulation reached a Cmax (ng / mL) (CV%) of 131 (25.6) and an AUC (ng.hr / mL) (CV%) of 1090 (24.4); and the MR formulation achieved Cmax (ng / ml) (CV%) of 47.1 (34.3) and AUC (ng.hr / mL) (CV%) of 1010 (34.2).

[0099] FIGS. 6A-6B represent the relative bioavailability of large 120 mg tablets (test) compared with small round tablets (reference) by cross-analysis. By cross-analysis, both large and small round 120 mg tablets meet the bioequivalence criteria (90% CI within 80-125%) for AUCultima and Cmx (FIG. 6B).

[00101] FIGS. 8A-8B represent the lack of food effect with 120 mg of PRAX-944. Co-administration of the 120 mg large tablet with a high-fat, high-calorie meal results in a 3-hour delay in tmax and a slight increase in AUC and Cmax, but within the no-effect range (90% CI 80-125%). Outliers excluded from the analysis.
[00102] FIGS. 9A-9C represent relative bioavailability by parallel analysis with small, round, or large tablets. Although the large tablets appear to have increased exposure compared to the small and round tablets, this is likely an artifact of the parallel study design. When the relative bioavailability of the 120 mg tablets is assessed by cross-analysis, the bioequivalence (BE) criteria are met, whereas when assessed by parallel analysis, the large tablet has greater exposure than the small and round tablets, by a magnitude similar to the tablets at lower strengths. Outliers excluded from the analysis.
[00103] FIG. 10A represents an exemplary scheme of a crossover bioequivalence study. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[00104] The present invention provides compositions designed to provide a larger and more convenient dosage form of PRAX-944 compared to the currently available dosage form of PRAX-944, which is a modified-release (MR) formulation available as 5 mg and 20 mg tablets that are round and small in size (6 mm in diameter). For example, the compositions Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, page 42 / 254 37 / 211 pharmaceutical components of the present invention are designed to minimize the number of tablets required to deliver specific dose levels of PRAX-944 (FIG. 1) and to increase the physical size of the tablet and make it into a capsule form for easier comprehension and greater convenience, including more usability, for patients, especially those with essential tremor (ET). FIG. 2A shows tablets of various shapes and sizes, and FIG. 2B shows a comparison between the currently available dosage form of PRAX-944, which is a modified-release (MR) formulation available as 5 mg and 20 mg tablets that are round and small in size (6 mm in diameter), and an exemplary bioequivalent single-unit dosage form described in this document.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention comprising larger capsule-shaped tablets have substantially the same bioavailability, for example, with respect to the rate (maximum plasma drug concentration; Cmax) and extent (area under the plasma concentration-time curve; AUC) of absorption of PRAX-944 compared with various small, round 20 mg tablets. Definitions
[00105] In general, the effective amount of a compound refers to an amount sufficient to elicit the desired biological response. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the effective amount of a compound may vary depending on factors such as the desired biological outcome, the pharmacokinetics of the compound, the disease being treated, the route of administration, and the age, weight, health, and condition of the individual. An effective amount encompasses both therapeutic and prophylactic treatment.
[00106] As used in this document, and unless otherwise specified, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, page 43 / 254 38 / 211 is a sufficient amount to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition, or to slow, reduce, or eliminate one or more symptoms associated with the disease, disorder, or condition. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound means an amount of therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other therapies, that provides a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of the disease, disorder, or condition. The term therapeutically effective amount may encompass an amount that improves overall therapy, reduces or prevents symptoms or causes of the disease or condition, or increases the therapeutic effectiveness of another therapeutic agent.
[00107] As used in this document, the term refractory refers to a disease, disorder, or condition that does not readily produce or respond to therapy or treatment, or that is not controlled by therapy or treatment. In some modalities, a disease, disorder, or condition described in this document is refractory (e.g., refractory epilepsy or refractory absence seizures or essential tremor that is refractory) and does not respond to standard therapy or treatment.
[00108] As used in this document, an individual to whom administration is contemplated includes, but is not limited to, human beings (i.e., a man or woman of any age range, for example, a pediatric individual (e.g., infant, child, adolescent) or an adult individual (e.g., young adult, middle-aged adult, or elderly adult)) and / or a non-human animal, for example, a mammal such as primates (e.g., cynomolgus monkeys, rhesus monkeys), cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, rodents, cats, and / or dogs. In certain embodiments, the individual is a human. In certain embodiments, the individual is a non-human animal. In certain embodiments, the terms patient and individual are used interchangeably. Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, page 44 / 254 39 / 211 interchangeable in this document. In some modalities, individuals are selected for treatment with the compound of formula (I) due to a clinical diagnosis of essential tremor. In some modalities, individuals selected for treatment with the compound of formula (I) have essential tremor but do not exhibit intention tremor.
[00109] The terms disease, disorder, and condition are used interchangeably in this document.
[00110] As used in this document, and unless otherwise specified, the terms treat, treating, and treatment encompass an action that occurs while an individual suffers from the specified disease, disorder, or condition, that reduces the severity of the disease, disorder, or condition, or slows or diminishes the progression of the disease, disorder, or condition (therapeutic treatment), and also encompass an action that occurs before an individual begins to suffer from a disease, disorder, or condition (prophylactic treatment).
[00111] As used in this document, the term pharmaceutically acceptable salt refers to those salts which are, within the scope of good medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and are proportionate to a reasonable risk / benefit ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art; for example, Berge et al., describes pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences (1977) 66:1-19. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of non-toxic and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and perchloric acid, or Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, page 45 / 25440 / 211 with organic acids, such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid or malonic acid, or using other methods used in the technique, such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include acetate, adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, besylate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, cyclamate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, edisilate, ethanesulfonate, esilate, formate, fumarate, gentisate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, glucuronate, glutamate, glutarate, glycolate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hippurate, iodide-hydroxy, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, isethionate, ketoglutarate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, mesylate, methanesulfonate, napadisilate, napsylate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, oroate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate,3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, sebacate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, stereoisomers thereof (e.g., enantiomers, diastereomers) and the like.
[00112] Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, where appropriate, non-toxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counter-ions, such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, lower alkyl sulfonate, and aryl sulfonate. In certain embodiments, a compound of Formula (I) is a hydrochloric acid salt.
[00113] The term modified-release polymer or matrix polymer refers to a polymer that is used in a formulation (e.g., tablets and capsules) to modify the rate of drug release after administration to an individual. For example, a modified-release polymer is used to dissolve a drug over time in order to be released more slowly and more stably. Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, page 46 / 254 41 / 211 in the bloodstream. For example, a modified-release polymer is a controlled-release polymer. For example, a modified-release polymer or a controlled-release polymer is an HPMC polymer. In some embodiments, a modified-release polymer may include hydrophilic matrix polymers (e.g., hypromellose, HPMC (hydroxyl-propylmethylcellulose)), hydrophobic matrix polymers (e.g., ethyl cellulose, etocel), or polyacrylate polymers (e.g., Eudragit RL100, Eudragit RS100).
[00114] The term diluent or bulking agent, as used in this document, refers to an excipient used to increase the weight and improve the uniformity of the contents.For example, diluents include cellulose derivatives (e.g., microcrystalline cellulose), starches (e.g., hydrolyzed starches and partially pregelatinized starches), anhydrous lactose, lactose monohydrate, dicalcium phosphate (DCP), sugar alcohols (e.g., sorbitol, xylitol, and mannitol).
[00115] The term slip agent, as used in this document, refers to an excipient used to promote powder flow by reducing friction and cohesion between particles. For example, slip agents include fumed silica (e.g., colloidal silicon dioxide), talc, and magnesium carbonate.
[00116] The term lubricant, as used in this document, refers to an excipient used to prevent ingredients from clumping together and sticking to tablet punches or the capsule filling machine. Lubricants are also used to ensure that tablet formation and ejection can occur with low friction between the solid and the mold wall. For example, lubricants include magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, stearic acid, talc, silica, and fats (e.g., vegetable stearin).
[00117] The term coating, as used in this document, Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, page 47 / 254 42 / 211 refers to an excipient to protect the tablet ingredients from deterioration by moisture in the air and to make large or unpleasant tablets easier to swallow. For example, coatings may include Opadry® II White 85F18422, which is composed of compendial grade polyvinyl alcohol, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol 3350, and talc.
[00118] The term bioavailability refers to the extent to which an active portion (e.g., a drug and / or a metabolite) is absorbed into the general circulation and becomes available at the drug's site of action in the body.
[00119] The term bioequivalence or bioequivalent means that two pharmaceutical products do not differ significantly when the two products are administered at the same dose under similar conditions. A product (e.g., a single-unit dosage form or a pharmaceutical composition, as described in this document) may be considered bioequivalent to a second product (e.g., a reference composition) if there is no significant difference in the rate and extent to which the active ingredient or active moiety becomes available at the drug's site of action when the product is administered at the same molar dose as the second product under similar conditions in a suitably designed study.Two products with different absorption rates may be considered equivalent if the difference in the rate at which the active ingredient or moiety becomes available at the site of drug action is intentional and reflected in the proposed labeling, is not essential for achieving effective body drug concentrations in chronic use, and is considered clinically insignificant for the drug. In some embodiments, bioequivalence may be based on no more than a difference of about 20% between the AUC and Cmax of one product versus a second product. In some embodiments, bioequivalence... Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, page 48 / 254 43 / 211 The validity may be based on no more than about 0.5%, about 1%, about 1.5%, about 2%, about 2.5%, about 3%, about 3.5%, about 4%, about 4.5%, about 5%, about 5.5%, about 6%, about 6.5%, about 7%, about 7.5%, about 8%, about 8.5%, about 9%, about 9.5%, about 10%, about 10.5%, about 11%, about 11.5%, about 12%, about 12.5%, about 13%, about 13.5%, about 14%, about 14.5%, about 15%, about 15.5%, approximately 16%, approximately 16.5%, approximately 17%, approximately 17.5%, approximately 18%, approximately 18.5%, approximately 19%, approximately 19.5%, or approximately 20% difference between the AUC and Cmax of one product versus a second product.
[00120] In some embodiments, bioequivalence can be assumed when, for example, the 90% confidence interval varies between about 80% and about 125% (for example, about 80%, about 81%, about 82%, about 83%, about 84%, about 85%, about 86%, about 87%, about 88%, about 89%, about 90%, about 91%, about 92%, about 93%, about 94%, close to 95%, close to 96%, close to 97%, close to 98%, close to 99%, close to 100%, close to 101%, close to 102%, close to 103%, close to 104%, close to 105%, close to 106%, close 107%, close to 108%, close to 109%, close to 110%, close 111%, close to 112%, close to 113%, close to 114%, close 115%, close to 116%, close to 117%, close to 118%, close 119%, close to 120%, close to 121%, close to 122%, close 123%, approximately 124%, or approximately 125%) for the target parameters (e.g., Cmax and AUC). In some embodiments, the 90% confidence interval for AUC and / or Cmax may be contained within tighter confidence limits, for example, approximately 90% to approximately 120%, approximately 90% to approximately 115%, approximately 90% to approximately 110%, or approximately 90% to approximately 100%. In some embodiments Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, p. 49 / 254 44 / 211 des, bioequivalence can be determined based on steady-state studies and / or single-dose studies.

[00127] PRAX-944 (FIG. 1) is a selective, state-dependent inhibitor of T-type calcium channels (Ca2+). The family of channels Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, page 58 / 254 53 / 211 T-type calcium channels are composed of three different isoforms, CaV3.1, CaV3.2, and CaV3.3, which are widely but differentially expressed in the thalmocortical and cerebellar circuits, critical pathways implicated in the development of, for example, essential tremor (ET). PRAX-944 is being developed for the treatment of various diseases or conditions related to aberrant function or activity of a T-type calcium channel, including, for example, essential tremor (ET). For evaluation in clinical studies, PRAX-944 is currently produced as 5 mg and 20 mg modified-release (MR) film-coated tablets and a corresponding placebo for once-daily (QD) oral administration. The MR mechanism is achieved through the inclusion of a hydrophilic polymer that hydrates and gels in an aqueous medium to form a matrix that controls the release of the pharmacological substance (DS) from the tablet.Each active tablet contains, for example, PRAX-944 hydrochloride (HCl) DS equivalent to 5 mg or 20 mg of PRAX-944 free base and the following inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, hypromellose, colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, triacetin, titanium dioxide, and talc. PRAX-944 was previously produced as immediate-release (IR) tablets, as described, for example, in the first clinical study, Z944-B01. The current 5 mg and 20 mg MR formulations were developed following the observation in the first clinical study, Z944-B01, that the central nervous system (CNS) and psychiatric adverse events (AEs) observed with a single daily dose of the IR formulation could be reduced by dividing it into multiple administrations over several hours, as described, for example, in the clinical study, Z944104, evaluating the safety and tolerability of the PRAX944 MR7 formulation.
[00128] The PRAX-944 MR7 formulation currently being used in clinical studies was designed to release 80% of the active drug in Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, page 59 / 254 54 / 211 solution in vitro after 7 hours. This formulation was selected for further development after comparing the formulation with other MR formulations with faster dissolution. In general, previously studied MR formulations, produced as 5 mg and 20 mg MR, film-coated tablets, blinded Cmax and tmax, are slower compared to the IR formulation, but have minimal effects on AUC. Furthermore, the frequency of CNS, psychiatric, and general adverse events is reduced with MR formulations, with greater reductions in AE frequency corresponding to the reduction in Cmax, resulting in the selection of the MR7 formulation for ongoing clinical studies. Additionally, titration has been shown to improve the tolerability profile of PRAX-944 MR7. However, during clinical studies, certain challenges associated with the use of currently available PRAX-944 MR formulations (i.e., placebo tablets, 5 mg and 20 mg MR) were identified.For example, for clinically blinded purposes, different dose potencies of PRAX-944 are provided in multiple tablet combinations (e.g., including one or more placebo tablets, 5 mg and 20 mg) packaged in blisters. Handling small, round tablets, blister packs, and multiple pills has been found to be particularly challenging for patients struggling with movement disorders such as essential tremor (ET). As such, there is a need to develop new, larger-sized, high-dose-potency single-unit tablets with a suitable shape to improve patient comfort and convenience and reduce or eliminate the chances of dosing errors.
[00129] Consequently, in one aspect, the present invention provides compositions, including single-unit dosage forms, comprising a compound of Formula (I): Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, page 60 / 254 55 / 211 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Pharmaceutical compositions
[00280] The present invention encompasses the preparation and use of pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., the compound of Formula (II), for example, PRAX-944 HCl) as an active agent. Such a pharmaceutical composition may consist only of the active agent, as a combination of at least one active agent (e.g., an effective dose of the compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., the compound of Formula (II), for example, PRAX-944 HCl)) in a form suitable for administration to an individual, or the pharmaceutical composition may comprise the active agent and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, one or more additional ingredients (active and / or inactive), or some combination thereof.
[00281] In one aspect, the pharmaceutical compositions provided by the present invention include a single-unit dosage form comprising the compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (for example, the compound of Formula (II)). In certain embodiments, the single-unit dosage form comprises up to 200 mg of the compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In some embodiments, the single-unit dosage form comprises a length of up to 16 mm, for example, about 14 mm to about 16 mm and / or a width of up to 7 mm, for example, about 5 mm to about 7 mm. In some embodiments, the single-unit dosage form is bioequivalent Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pp. 120 / 254 115 / 211 lens to a reference composition of the same dosage potency administered as multiple dosage forms, such as the modified-release (MR) formulation comprising the compound of Formula (I) available as 5 mg and 20 mg tablets that are round and small in size (e.g., about 6 mm in diameter). In some embodiments, bioequivalence can be established by: (a) a 90% confidence interval for AUC that is between about 80% and about 125% and (b) a 90% confidence interval for Cmax that is between about 80% and about 125%.
[00282] Exemplary pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (for example, the compound of Formula (II), for example, PRAX-944 HCl) as an active agent are provided in Tables 616.
[00283] The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may contain a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., the compound of Formula (II), for example, PRAX-944 HCl). Those skilled in the art will recognize, however, that a pharmaceutical composition may contain more than a therapeutically effective amount, such as in bulk compositions, or less than a therapeutically effective amount, i.e., individual unit doses designed for multiple administration to achieve a therapeutically effective amount. Typically, the composition will contain from about 1 mg to about 200 mg of the compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., the compound of Formula (II), for example, PRAX-944 HCl), with the actual amount depending on the formulation itself, the route of administration, the frequency of dosing, and so forth.Depending on the dosage form, a composition suitable for an oral dosage form, for example. Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pp. 121 / 254 116 / 211 may contain about 5 mg, about 10 mg, about 20 mg, about 40 mg, about 60 mg, about 80 mg, about 100 mg or about 120 mg of the compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (for example, compound of Formula (II), for example, PRAX-944 HCl).
[00284] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are designed to provide a larger and more convenient dosage form of PRAX-944 compared to the currently available dosage form of PRAX-944, which is a modified-release (MR) formulation available as 5 mg and 20 mg tablets that are round and small in size (6 mm in diameter). For example, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are designed to minimize the total number of dosage units (e.g., tablets) required to deliver specific dose levels of PRAX-944 and to increase the physical size of the tablet to facilitate understanding and be more convenient for patients, especially those with a movement disorder, such as, for example, essential tremor (ET).Furthermore, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention comprising larger tablets have substantially the same bioavailability, for example, with respect to the rate (maximum plasma drug concentration; Cmax) and extent (area under the plasma concentration-time curve; AUC) of absorption of PRAX-944 compared with several small, round, 20 mg tablets of the same total dosage.
[00285] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be administered in a manner appropriate to the condition, disease and / or disorder to be treated (or prevented). The amount and frequency of administration will be determined by factors such as the patient's condition and the type and severity of the condition, disease and / or disorder. Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pp. 122 / 254 117 / 211 patient disturbance, although appropriate dosages may be determined by clinical studies. The administration of the pharmaceutical compositions may be carried out in any convenient manner, including, for example, by oral administration.
[00286] As used in this document, the term pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle means a chemical composition with which the active agent can be combined and which, after combination, can be used to deliver the active agent to an individual.

In certain embodiments, about 1 mg to 60 mg, such as 40 mg to 50 mg, of the compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., the compound of Formula (II), for example, PRAX-944 HCl) is administered to the individual daily. In certain embodiments, about 1 mg to 70 mg, such as 50 mg to 60 mg, of the compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., the compound of Formula (II), for example, PRAX-944 HCl) is administered to the individual daily. In certain embodiments, approximately 1 mg to 80 mg, such as 60 mg to 70 mg, of the compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (for example, the compound of Formula (II), for example, PRAX-944 HCl) is administered to the individual daily.In certain embodiments, about 1 mg to 90 mg, such as 70 mg to 80 mg, of the compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pp. 145 / 254 140 / 211 the compound of Formula (II), for example, PRAX-944 HCl) is administered to the individual daily. In certain embodiments, about 1 mg to 100 mg, such as 80 mg to 90 mg, of the compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (for example, the compound of Formula (II), for example, PRAX-944 HCl) is administered to the individual daily. In certain embodiments, about 1 mg to 110 mg, such as 90 mg to 100 mg, of the compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (for example, the compound of Formula (II), for example, PRAX-944 HCl) is administered to the individual daily. In certain embodiments, approximately 1 mg to 120 mg, such as 100 mg to 110 mg, of the compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (for example, the compound of Formula (II), for example, PRAX-944 HCl) is administered to the individual daily.
[00339] In some embodiments, the dosage form, when administered to the individual, has substantially the same bioavailability, for example, in relation to the rate (maximum plasma drug concentration; Cmax) and extent (area under the plasma concentration-time curve; AUC) of absorption of PRAX944 compared to several small, round 20 mg tablets.
[00340] In some embodiments, the dosage form, after administration to the individual, has a reduced Cmax value compared to a reference oral dosage form (e.g., a dosage form with any intended rate-release profile, e.g., modified rate-release profile, a dosage form that does not have a modified rate-release profile, a dosage form that does not have a modified-release polymer, e.g., an HPMC polymer). In some embodiments, the dosage form, after administration to the individual, has a higher tmax value than a reference oral dosage form (e.g., Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pages 146 / 254 141 / 211 a dosage form with any intended release rate profile, for example, a modified release rate profile, a dosage form that does not have a modified release rate profile, a dosage form that does not have a modified release polymer, for example, an HPMC polymer). Tremor
[00341] The methods described in this document can be used to treat tremor, for example, a dosage or composition disclosed in this document can be used to treat cerebellar tremor or intention tremor, dystonic tremor, essential tremor, orthostatic tremor, parkinsonian tremor, physiological tremor or rubral tremor. Tremor includes hereditary, degenerative and idiopathic disorders, such as Wilson's disease (hereditary), Parkinson's disease (degenerative) and essential tremor (idiopathic); metabolic diseases; peripheral neuropathies (associated with complex regional pain syndrome, Charcot-Marie-Tooth, Roussy-Levy, diabetes mellitus); toxins (nicotine, mercury, lead, carbon monoxide, manganese, arsenic, toluene); Drug-induced (tricyclic neuroleptics, lithium, cocaine, alcohol, adrenaline, bronchodilators, theophylline, caffeine, steroids, valproate, amiodarone, thyroid hormones, vincristine); and psychogenic disorders.Clinical tremor can be neuropathic tremor, and can be classified into physiological tremor, potentiated physiological tremor, essential tremor syndromes (including classic essential tremor), primary orthostatic tremor, task- and position-specific tremor, dystonic tremor, parkinsonian tremor, cerebellar tremor, Holmes tremor (i.e., rubral tremor), palatal tremor, neuropathic tremor, drug-induced tremor, and psychogenic tremor. Tremor can be familial tremor.
[00342] Tremor is a rhythmic and involuntary oscillation of one or more parts of the body (for example, hands, arms, eyes, face, head, Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pages 147 / 254 142 / 211 vocal folds, trunk and / or legs).
[00343] Cerebellar tremor or intention tremor is a slow, broad tremor of the extremities that occurs after an intentional movement. Cerebellar tremor is caused by lesions or damage to the cerebellum or pathways resulting, for example, from a tumor, stroke, or other focal lesion disease (e.g., multiple sclerosis) or a neurodegenerative disease.
[00344] Dystonic tremor occurs in individuals affected by dystonia, a movement disorder in which sustained involuntary muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements and / or painful and abnormal postures or positions. Dystonic tremor can affect any muscle in the body. Dystonic tremors occur irregularly and can often be relieved by complete rest or certain sensory maneuvers.
[00345] Essential tremor, or benign essential tremor, is the most common type of tremor. Essential tremor can be mild and non-progressive in some, and it can be slowly progressive, starting on one side of the body but usually affecting both sides. The hands are most frequently affected, but the head, voice, tongue, legs, and trunk can also be involved. The frequency of tremors may decrease as a person ages, but the severity can also increase. Heightened emotion, stress, fever, physical exhaustion, or low blood sugar can trigger tremors and / or increase their severity. Symptoms usually develop over time and may be noticeable and persistent after onset. Tremors, including essential tremor, can interfere with any or all of a person's daily activities, such as personal hygiene, cooking, eating, dressing, doing home repairs, and interacting with others.Tremors, including essential tremor, can interfere with career choice or performance. Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pages 148 / 254 143 / 211 of work (for example, typing on a computer or cell phone, using tools, sewing, working in a restaurant (cooking or serving), caring for others (medical or veterinary work), or any job that requires movement can be difficult). Tremors can also have profound emotional effects, such as fear of the tremor being discovered, fear of other people's reactions, or fear of rejection.
[00346] Orthostatic tremor is characterized by rapid rhythmic muscle contractions (e.g., greater than 12 Hz) that occur in the legs and trunk immediately after standing. Cramps are felt in the thighs and legs, and the patient may tremble uncontrollably when asked to stand in one place. Orthostatic tremor can occur in patients with essential tremor.
[00347] Parkinson's tremor is caused by damage to the structures within the brain that control movement. Parkinson's tremor is typically seen as a pill-rolling action of the hands that can also affect the chin, lips, legs, and trunk. The onset of Parkinsonian tremor typically begins after age 60. The movement dysfunction usually starts in one limb or on one side of the body and may progress to include the other side.
[00348] Rubral tremor is characterized by a coarse, slow tremor that may be present at rest, in posture, and with intention. The tremor is associated with conditions affecting the red nucleus in the midbrain, such as a stroke.
[00349] In some modalities, the tremor is selected from essential tremor, Parkinson's tremor, or cerebellar tremor. In some modalities, the tremor is essential tremor. Essential Tremor
[00350] The compositions described in this document are useful in the treatment of essential tremor (ET). ET is a movement disorder. Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pages 149 / 254 144 / 211 of adults is the most common, affecting up to 2% of the United States population (approximately 7 million Americans) (Louis and Ottman 2014). ET is characterized by postural and kinetic tremor of 5 to 12 Hz (i.e., tremor during voluntary movement) in the upper limbs (Bhidayasiri 2005, Louis 2009). The most characteristic clinical feature is kinetic tremor of the arms and hands, but tremor can also occur in the head and voice and, less commonly, in the face, legs, and trunk. The diagnosis of ET is based on medical history and neurological examination, as described in the International Parkinson and Movement Disorders Society Consensus Statement on the Classification of Tremors (Bhatia et al 2018).
[00351] There is a range of severity in ET; some patients do not require treatment, while others have severe disability with impairment in activities of daily living, such as dressing and eating. ET, by definition, is generally not associated with other neurological signs (Deuschl et al 2011), although there is growing recognition that ET may also be associated with additional motor features such as postural instability, dystonia, mild to moderate gait ataxia, and eye movement abnormalities (Louis 2009). ET is also associated with a high prevalence of comorbid psychiatric disorders, including anxiety and depression (Dogu et al 2005, Miller et al 2007). ET often worsens over time, with more severe tremor over years to decades and a corresponding worsening of disability (Louis 2019).
[00352] ET can be sporadic, but a family history of an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern is commonly found (Clark and Louis 2018) and, more importantly, variants in the voltage-dependent calcium channel alpha1G subunit gene (CACNA1G), which encodes the Cav3.1 T-type Ca2+ channel isoform, have been identified as the cause of ET in at least 3 families (Od Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pages 150 / 254 145 / 211 (Gerel et al 2019). The importance of the CACNA1G gene for cerebellar development and function is further highlighted by the observation that variants in this gene can also cause cerebellar atrophy in childhood (Chemin et al 2018) and spinocerebellar ataxia type 42 (Coutelier et al 2015). The functional consequences of these genetic variants are consistent with the expression of T-type Ca2+ channels in the cerebellum and distal CTC circuit and their physiological contribution to oscillatory firing in the thalamus that is synchronized with, and, according to sponsor hypotheses, leads to clinically observable tremor (Milosevic et al 2018).
[00353] Propranolol is the only orally administered treatment approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of ET. Propranolol was originally developed for hypertension and, in the treatment of ET, has limited efficacy with side effects (e.g., bradycardia) that frequently lead to discontinuation (Hedera 2017, Louis 2015). The unmet medical need in ET has resulted in the off-label use of medications in various drug classes, including anticonvulsants, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, antipsychotics, and others, with limited appreciable therapeutic benefit for patients with ET. A recent evidence-based review concluded that only propranolol, primidone, and topiramate had sufficient evidence to support efficacy among 28 drugs studied for ET (Ferreira et al 2019).Surgical interventions that interrupt CTC disruption activity, such as deep brain stimulation or focused ultrasound, are effective treatments for ET, but carry risks such as sensory disturbances, hemiparesis, dysarthria, ataxia, gait disturbances, delirium, cognitive decline, tissue damage, venous thromboembolic events, and intracerebral hemorrhage (Dallapiazza et al 2019, Insightec, Inc. 2016). Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pages 151 / 254 146 / 211
[00354] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides a method of treating essential tremor comprising administering to an individual in need a composition described in this document. In some embodiments, the method results in a reduction of essential tremor as assessed by the Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale (TETRAS) score. The term Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale (TETRAS), as used in this document, refers to a scale developed to quantify the severity of essential tremor and its impact on daily activities. It has an Activities of Daily Living (ADL) section and a Performance section. The ADL section has 12 items rated between 0 and 4, and the Performance section has 9 items rated between 0 and 4.
[00355] In some modalities, the reduction of essential tremor is evaluated by the upper limb score of The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale (TETRAS).
[00356] In some modalities, the reduction of essential tremor is assessed by the score on the TETRAs performance subscale or individual TETRAs performance items.
[00357] In some embodiments, individuals treated according to the methods provided by the present invention have moderate essential tremor (i.e., a TETRAS score of 10-15). In some embodiments, the individuals treated in this document have a TETRAS score of about 10 to about 15, or a TETRAS score of about 12, before treatment according to the methods of the present invention. Treatment using a composition described in this document can reduce the individual's TETRAS score. In some embodiments, individuals treated with a composition described in this document experience an average reduction in the TETRAS score of about 2 to 5, for example, about 3. In some Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pp. 152 / 254 147 / 211 but modalities, individuals treated with a composition described in this document experience an average reduction in the TETRA score of about 30% to about 50%, for example, about 40%.
[00358] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides a method for treating essential tremor comprising administering to an individual in need a composition described in this document. In some embodiments, the method results in a reduction of essential tremor, as assessed by accelerometer-based scoring, for example, accelerometer-based upper limb scoring. In some embodiments, the method results in a reduction of essential tremor, as assessed by CGI scoring.
[00359] In some modalities, the essential tremor is the tremor of the upper limb.
[00360] In some modalities, individuals are selected for treatment with the compound of formula (I) due to a clinical diagnosis of essential tremor. In some modalities, individuals selected for treatment with the compound of formula (I) have essential tremor but do not exhibit intention tremor.
[00361] The efficacy of the compound or composition described in this document for treating essential tremor can be measured by the methods described in the technique, such as the methods described in the following references: Ferreira, JJ et al., MDS Evidence-Based Review of Treatments for Essential Tremor, Mov. Disord. July 2019; 34(7):950-958; Elble, R. et al., Task Force Report: Scales for Screening and Evaluating Tremor, Mov. Disord.

[00362] In some modalities, the methods described in this document result in at least a 25% reduction in upper limb tremor score, where tremor score can be converted to amplitude, compared to an initial assessment. For example, in certain modalities, the methods described in this document result in approximately a 40% average reduction in tremor amplitude, as measured by the upper limb score of the Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale (TETRAS), described, for example, in Elble, RJ, The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale, J. Neurol. Neuromed. 2016; 1(4):34-38. In some modalities, the methods described in this document result in at least a 25% reduction in the TETRAS performance score compared to the initial assessment.In some modalities, the methods described in this document result in at least a 35% average reduction in symptom severity compared to the initial assessment, as measured by the TETRAS performance score. Parkinson's disease
[00363] The compositions described in this document are useful in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder with approximately 1 million diagnosed patients in the United States (US) and approximately 10 million worldwide. Approximately 60,000 patients are diagnosed with PD each year in the US alone (Marras et al 2018). The diagnosis of PD is most often made based on medical history and neurological examination, as described in the Clinical Diagnostic Criteria for Parkinson's Disease (Postuma et al 2015) of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorders Society (MDS).
[00364] PD is characterized by slow movement (bradykinesia), in combination with resting tremor (4-6 Hz) and / or rigidity (postuma). Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pages 154 / 254 149 / 211 et al 2015). Symptoms are typically unilateral at onset, mild, and non-disabling, but progress over time in severity and involve both sides of the body, often impairing activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing and eating. In addition to the cardinal symptoms above, patients with PD may develop abnormal posture (dystonia), severe forward flexion of the thoracolumbar spine (camptocormia), slurred speech (dysarthria), gait instability, and freezing of gait. Non-motor symptoms such as impaired smell, dream re-enactment behavior (sleep behavior disorder [RPD]), rapid eye movement [REM] sleep behavior disorder, constipation, depression, psychosis, and dementia also play a key role in the daily lives of patients with PD (Jankovic and Tan 2020).
[00365] Because the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) of PD patients results in the loss of dopaminergic output, the mainstay of treatment for PD is dopamine replacement therapy (Armstrong and Okun 2020). L-dopa or levodopa, a dopamine replacement formulation, is considered the gold standard treatment for PD. Levodopa is highly effective in improving the motor symptoms of bradykinesia and rigidity, particularly in the early stages of the disease, but has a variable impact on tremor. Most other common PD medications primarily reduce dopamine metabolism or are dopamine receptor agonists.
[00366] Although effective, the side effects of chronic dopaminergic therapy include motor complications (dyskinesias or involuntary choriform movements), impulse control disorders, and psychosis (Poewe et al 2017). These adverse effects themselves can be disabling, often requiring medication to counteract the adverse effects. Thus, symptom control using therapy Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pages 155 / 254 150 / 211 as non-dopaminergic drugs have a better safety and tolerability profile and are necessary.
[00367] Adjunctive oral non-dopaminergic therapies that relieve PD symptoms could also reduce the need for dose escalation of dopaminergic therapies.
[00368] Surgical therapy, namely deep brain stimulation (DBS), can be very successful for uncontrolled tremors and motor complications and typically affects the function of the basal ganglia downstream of the nigrostriatal pathway (Fasano et al 2012). Depending on the patient's specific symptoms, DBS electrodes can be placed in the globulus pallidus internus, thalamic ventral intermediate nucleus, or subthalamic nucleus (STN) and can affect aberrant rupture burning in these areas (see below). DBS is typically reserved for patients who respond to but have maximized dopaminergic therapy and continue to present with troubling motor symptoms. Furthermore, DBS presents significant risks associated with brain surgery, including intracerebral hemorrhage, infection, hemiparesis, and cognitive decline (Pahwa et al 2006).The prospect of neuromyelitis in later years is often anxiety-inducing or contraindicated (e.g., due to the presence of cognitive impairment), and many patients are not treated with DBS. Thus, there is a clinical need for a pharmacological therapy that can mimic the effects of DBS. By modulating T-type Ca2+ channels, PRAX-944 may modulate continuous firing downstream of SNc degeneration.
[00369] Animal models and patient data from human PD demonstrate that degeneration of nigral dopaminergic neurons converts the downstream STN of a tonic firing pattern into an aberrant disruption phenotype (Ammari et al 2011, Tai et al 2011, Pan et al 2016). This disruption activity drives the symptoms of bradykinesia and rigidity. Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pages 156 / 254 151 / 211 in animal models, and blocking T-type Ca2+ channels has been shown to reduce this phenotype (Tai et al 2011, Yang et al 2014, Pan et al 2016). T-type Ca2+ channels are widely expressed throughout the brain, including in the STN (Talley et al 1999, Weiss and Zamponi 2019). Eliminating this burst-burn through blocking T-type Ca2+ channels has been shown to improve motor function in a rat PD model with 6-hydroxydopamine (Pan et al 2016). Thus, a T-type Ca2+ channel inhibitor could offer a non-surgical and non-dopaminergic treatment option to alleviate motor symptoms in PD. Epilepsy and Epilepsy Syndromes
[00370] The compositions described in this document are useful in the treatment of epilepsy and epilepsy syndromes. Epilepsy is a disorder of the central nervous system in which the activity of nerve cells in the brain is disrupted, causing recurrent seizures that can manifest as abnormal movements, periods of unusual behavior, sensations, and sometimes loss of consciousness. Seizure symptoms vary widely, from a simple blank stare for a few seconds to repeated contractions of the arms or legs during a seizure.
[00371] Epilepsy can involve a generalized seizure, involving multiple areas of the brain, or a partial or focal seizure. All areas of the brain are involved in a generalized seizure. A person experiencing a generalized seizure may cry or make some sound, stiffen for several seconds to a minute, and then have rhythmic movements of their arms and legs. The eyes may remain open, and / or the person may appear not to be breathing and their suit may turn blue. Return to consciousness may be gradual, and the person may remain confused for minutes to hours. The following are the main types of generalized seizures: tonic seizures Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pp. 157 / 254 152 / 211 clonic, tonic, clonic, myoclonic, myoclonic-tonic-clonic, myoclonic-atonic, atonic and absence seizures (atypical, atypical, myoclonic, myoclonic-clonic seizures) and epileptic spasms. In a partial or focal seizure, only part of the brain is involved, so only part of the body is affected. Depending on the part of the brain that shows abnormal electrical activity, the symptoms may vary.
[00372] Epilepsy, as described in this document, includes generalized partial, complex partial (e.g., seizures involving only part of the brain, but where consciousness is impaired), clonic tonic, clonic tonic, refractory seizures, status epilepticus, absence seizures, febrile seizures, or temporal lobe epilepsy.
[00373] The compositions described in this document may also be useful in the treatment of epilepsy syndromes. Severe syndromes caused by diffuse brain dysfunction, at least in part due to some aspect of epilepsy, are also called epileptic encephalopathies. They are associated with frequent seizures that are resistant to treatment and severe cognitive dysfunction, for example, West syndrome.
[00374] In some modalities, the epilepsy syndrome comprises epileptic encephalopathy, Dravet syndrome, Angelman syndrome, CDKL5 disorder, frontal lobe epilepsy, infantile spasms, West syndrome, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, Landau-Kleffner syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Ohtahara syndrome, PCDH19 epilepsy, or Glut1 deficiency. In some modalities, the epilepsy syndrome is childhood absence epilepsy (CAE). In some modalities, the epilepsy syndrome is juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE). In some modalities, the epilepsy syndrome is Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. In some modalities, the Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pages 158 / 254 153 / 211 epilepsy syndrome is SLC6A1 epileptic encephalopathy. In some forms, the epilepsy syndrome is associated with mutations in genes encoding T-type calcium channels (e.g., CACNA1G, EEF1A2, and GABRG2 for genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) and LGI1, TRIM3, and GABRG2 for non-acquired focal epilepsy (NAFE)), as discussed, for example, in Feng, YCA, et al., Ultra-Rare Genetic Variation in the Epilepsies: A Whole-Exome Sequencing Study of 17,606 Individuals, Am. J. Human Gen. 2019; 105(2):267-282. In some forms, the epilepsy syndrome is Doose syndrome or myoclonic astatic epilepsy. In some forms, the epilepsy syndrome is continuous peak-wave sleep-disordered epileptic encephalopathy (CSWS). In some forms, the epilepsy syndrome is Landau-Kleffner syndrome (LKS). In some forms, the epilepsy syndrome is Jeavons syndrome. Absence Seizures
[00375] Absence seizures are one of the most common types of seizures in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) (Berg et al., Epilepsy 2000). Absence seizures are relatively brief, non-convulsive seizures characterized by the abrupt onset of loss of consciousness and responsiveness, generally lasting between 10-30 seconds, with a rapid return to normal consciousness without postictal confusion. The seizures are characterized on an accompanying EEG recording by the abrupt onset and shift of generalized 1-6 Hz (e.g., 3 Hz) wave spikes and discharges. Absence seizures typically occur several times a day, disrupt learning and psychosocial functioning, and present a risk of injury due to frequent episodes of loss of consciousness. Typically, absence seizures begin in early childhood and remit in adolescence. However, in a minority of patients, they persist into adulthood. Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pages 159 / 254 154 / 211 where they are generally drug-resistant and may be accompanied by other types of seizures, such as generalized tonic-clonic seizures. In these adult patients, absence seizures are usually highly disabling, particularly due to the disqualification of the sufferer from obtaining a driver's license or pursuing occupations and hobbies where the periods of loss of consciousness associated with seizures represent a safety risk and are associated with significant psychosocial impairments (Wirrell et al., 1997).
[00376] Although there is a common perception that absence seizures are relatively easy to treat, a randomized controlled clinical trial in patients with childhood absence epilepsy showed that even the most effective antiepileptic drugs, ethosuximide and valproate, only completely controlled seizures in 53% and 58% of patients, respectively, at 16 weeks, as assessed by video-EEG recordings (Glauser et al., 2010), and 45% and 44%, respectively, at 12 months (Glauser et al., 2013). Lamotrigine, the other commonly used AED to treat absence seizures, only controlled seizures in 29% of patients at 16 weeks and 21% of patients at 12 months. Furthermore, both ethosuximide and valproate are commonly associated with intolerable side effects (occurring in 24% of patients treated with either of these drugs) (Glauser et al.(2010), and the latter is now considered contraindicated in girls and women of childbearing potential. Other treatment options for absence seizures are limited, with only benzodiazepines having established efficacy, and these are generally poorly tolerated due to sedative and cognitive side effects. Persistent absence seizures into adulthood are particularly difficult to treat, with patients often being treated with... Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pages 160 / 254 155 / 211 multiple drugs, resulting in significant side effects without having to control seizures.
[00377] There is abundant evidence that low-threshold (T-type) calcium channels play a critical role in the generation and maintenance of absence seizures, being a fundamental component of the oscillatory burst firing that occurs in thalamocortical neurons during absence seizures (Pinault and O'Brien, 1997). In some embodiments, the present invention is directed to a method for treating absence seizures with a composition described in this document. In some embodiments, the absence seizures are refractory to an antiepileptic drug (e.g., ethosuximide, valproic acid, or lamotrigine).
[00378] In some modalities, the individual has epilepsy. In some modalities, absence seizures are atypical absence seizures. In some modalities, absence seizures include adult absence seizures, juvenile absence seizures, or childhood absence seizures.
[00379] In some modalities, the methods described in this document also include the identification of an individual with absence seizures.

Mood Disorders
[00402] This document also provides methods for treating a psychiatric disorder, such as a mood disorder, for example, clinical depression, postnatal or postpartum depression, perinatal depression, atypical depression, melancholic depression, psychotic major depression, catatonic depression, seasonal affective disorder, dysthymia, double depression, depressive personality disorder, recurrent brief depression, minor depressive disorder, bipolar or manic-depressive disorder, depression caused by chronic conditions, treatment-resistant depression, refractory depression, suicidal tendencies, suicidal ideation, or suicidal behavior. In some modalities, the method described in this document provides a therapeutic effect to an individual suffering from depression (e.g., moderate or severe depression). In some modalities, the mood disorder is associated with a disease or disorder described Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pp. 170 / 254 165 / 211 in this document (for example, neuroendocrine diseases and disorders, neurodegenerative diseases and disorders (e.g., epilepsy), movement disorders, tremor (e.g., Parkinson's disease), women's health disorders or conditions).
[00403] Clinical depression is also known as major depression, major depressive disorder (MDD), severe depression, unipolar depression, unipolar disorder, and recurrent depression, and refers to a mental disorder characterized by widespread and persistent low mood that is accompanied by low self-esteem and loss of interest or pleasure in normally enjoyable activities. Some people with clinical depression have difficulty sleeping, lose weight, and generally feel agitated and irritable. Clinical depression affects how an individual feels, thinks, and behaves and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. Individuals with clinical depression may have difficulty performing everyday activities and may feel as if life is not worth living.
[00404] Peripartum depression refers to depression during pregnancy. Symptoms include irritability, crying, restlessness, difficulty sleeping, extreme exhaustion (emotional and / or physical), changes in appetite, difficulty concentrating, increased anxiety and / or worry, feeling disconnected from the baby and / or fetus, and loss of interest in previously enjoyable activities.
[00405] Postnatal depression (PND) is also called postpartum depression (PPD) and refers to a type of clinical depression that affects women after childbirth. Symptoms may include sadness, fatigue, changes in sleep and eating habits, decreased sex drive, crying spells, anxiety, and irritability. In some forms, PND is treatment-resistant depression (e.g., treatment-resistant depression as described in this document). In some forms, PND is Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pp. 171 / 254 166 / 211 refractory depression (for example, a refractory depression as described in this document).
[00406] In some forms, an individual with PND also experienced depression, or a symptom of depression during pregnancy. This depression is referred to in this document as perinatal depression. In one form, an individual who experiences perinatal depression has a higher risk of developing PND.
[00407] Atypical depression (AD) is characterized by mood reactivity (e.g., paradoxical anhedonia) and positivity, significant weight gain, or increased appetite. Patients suffering from AD may also experience excessive sleepiness or sleepiness (hypersomnia), a feeling of heaviness in the limbs, and significant social impairment as a consequence of hypersensitivity to perceived interpersonal rejection.
[00408] Melancholic depression is characterized by loss of pleasure (anhedonia) in most or all activities, failure to respond to pleasurable stimuli, depressed mood more pronounced than grief or loss, excessive weight loss, or excessive guilt.
[00409] Major psychotic depression (MPD) or psychotic depression refers to a major depressive episode, particularly of a melancholic nature, where the individual experiences psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations.
[00410] Catatonic depression refers to major depression involving disturbances in motor behavior and other symptoms. An individual may become mute and stuporous and is immobile or exhibits purposeless or bizarre movements.
[00411] Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) refers to a type of seasonal depression in which an individual has seasonal patterns of depressive episodes that arise in the fall or winter.
[00412] Dysthymia refers to a condition related to depression. Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pp. 172 / 254 167 / 211 are unipolar, where the same physical and cognitive problems are evident. They are not as severe and tend to last longer (e.g., at least 2 years).
[00413] Double depression refers to severely depressed mood (dysthymia) that lasts for at least 2 years and is punctuated by periods of major depression.
[00414] Depressive personality disorder (DPD) refers to a personality disorder with depressive features.
[00415] Recurrent Brief Depression (RBD) refers to a condition in which individuals have depressive episodes about once a month, each episode lasting 2 weeks or less and typically less than 2-3 days.
[00416] Minor depressive disorder or minor depression refers to depression in which at least 2 symptoms are present for 2 weeks.
[00417] Bipolar disorder, or manic-depressive disorder, causes extreme mood swings, including emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). During manic periods, the individual may feel or act abnormally happy, energetic, or irritable. They often make ill-considered decisions without much regard for the consequences. The need for sleep is usually reduced. During depressive periods, there may be crying, poor eye contact with others, and a negative outlook on life. The risk of suicide among those with the disorder is high at over 6% over 20 years, while self-harm occurs in 30-40%. Other mental health problems, such as anxiety disorder and substance use disorder, are commonly associated with bipolar disorder.
[00418] Depression caused by chronic medical conditions refers to depression caused by chronic medical conditions, such as Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pp. 173 / 254 168 / 211 cancer or chronic pain, chemotherapy, chronic stress.
[00419] Treatment-resistant depression refers to a condition in which individuals have been treated for depression, but symptoms do not improve. For example, antidepressants or psychological counseling (psychotherapy) do not alleviate depression symptoms for individuals with treatment-resistant depression. In some cases, individuals with treatment-resistant depression experience symptom improvement, but symptoms relapse. Refractory depression occurs in patients suffering from depression who are resistant to standard pharmacological treatments, including tricyclic antidepressants, MAOIs, SSRIs, and dual- and triple-absorption inhibitors and / or anxiolytic drugs, as well as non-pharmacological treatments (e.g., psychotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, vagus nerve stimulation, and / or transcranial magnetic stimulation).
[00420] Post-surgical depression refers to feelings of depression that follow a surgical procedure (for example, as a result of having to face mortality). For example, individuals may experience persistent sadness or a dull mood, a loss of pleasure or interest in hobbies and activities normally enjoyed, or a persistent sense of worthlessness or hopelessness.
[00421] Mood disorder associated with women's health conditions or disorders refers to mood disorders (e.g., depression) associated with (e.g., resulting from) a woman's health condition or disorder (e.g., as described in this document).
[00422] Suicidal tendency, suicidal ideation, and suicidal behavior refer to an individual's tendency to commit suicide. Suicidal ideation refers to unusual thoughts or preoccupation with suicide. The range of suicidal ideation varies widely, from, by Petition 870250101458, dated 05 / 11 / 2025, pages 174 / 254 169 / 211 For example, fleeting thoughts to extensive thoughts, detailed planning, role-playing, and / or incomplete attempts. Symptoms include talking about suicide, obtaining the means to commit suicide, withdrawing from social contact, being preoccupied with death, feeling trapped or hopeless about a situation, increasing alcohol or drug use, engaging in risky or self-destructive activities, and saying goodbye to people as if they will not see each other again.
[00423] Symptoms of depression include persistent feelings of anxiety or sadness, feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, pessimism, worthlessness, low energy, restlessness, difficulty sleeping, insomnia, irritability, fatigue, motor challenges, loss of interest in pleasurable activities or hobbies, loss of concentration, loss of energy, poor self-esteem, lack of positive thoughts or plans, excessive sleep, excessive hunger, loss of appetite, insomnia, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts. The presence, severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms can vary from case to case. Symptoms of depression and their relief can be assessed by a doctor or psychologist (for example, through a mental status examination).
[00424] In some modalities, the mood disorder is selected from depression, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, dysthymic disorder, anxiety disorders, stress, post-traumatic stress disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. In some ...
