    Company Background
    Longboard Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel, transformative medicines for neurological diseases.

    Longboard is working to advance a portfolio of centrally acting product candidates designed to be highly selective for specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).

    Longboard's small molecule product candidates are based on more than 20 years of GPCR research.

    Longboard plans to advance bexicaserin (LP352), an oral, centrally acting 5-hydroxytryptamine 2C (5-HT2C) receptor superagonist, with no observed impact on 5-HT2B and 5-HT2A receptor subtypes, into a global Phase 3 program.

    In January 2024, Longboard reported topline data from a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial, the PACIFIC Study, evaluating bexicaserin in participants ages 12 to 65 years old with a broad range of Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies (DEEs), including Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Dravet syndrome and other DEEs.

    "These exciting PACIFIC Study results underscore our belief that bexicaserin's differentiated profile will translate into a clinically and commercially best-in-class product and has the potential to redefine the standard of care in DEEs.

    We are pleased to see such strong seizure reduction across a wide range of DEE syndromes with varying etiologies coupled with favorable safety and tolerability results," stated Dr.

    Randall Kaye, Longboard's Chief Medical Officer.

    "We would like to thank the entire DEE community, including study participants, their caregivers and advocacy groups, as well as the investigators, sites and coordinators for their participation and continued partnership as we advance into a Phase 3 program.

    This tremendous milestone brings us one step closer to improving the lives of those living with these devastating diseases and their families.

    "


    Longboard is also evaluating LP659, an oral, centrally acting, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor subtypes 1 and 5 modulator, which is in development for the potential treatment of rare neuroinflammatory conditions.

    Longboard has initiated a Phase 1 single-ascending dose (SAD) clinical trial for LP659 in healthy volunteers, with topline data expected in the first half of 2024.
