Acadia Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: ACAD) has published results from two open-label extension studies, LILAC-1™ and LILAC-2™, evaluating the long-term safety and efficacy of DAYBUE™ (trofinetide) in patients with Rett syndrome. The studies showed continued improvements in RSBQ and CGI-I scores with long-term DAYBUE treatment. LILAC-1 was a 40-week extension of the 12-week Phase 3 LAVENDER™ trial, while LILAC-2 was a 32-month study. Both studies demonstrated a safety profile consistent with the LAVENDER trial, with diarrhea and vomiting as the most common side effects. These findings contribute to a growing body of research on DAYBUE's potential ongoing impact for Rett syndrome patients, with some patients being on treatment for over two years.
Acadia Pharmaceuticals shared interim data from the LOTUS study on DAYBUE™ (trofinetide) at the 2024 IRSF Annual Scientific Meeting. The open-label study, involving 101 Rett syndrome patients, indicated that over two-thirds reported improvements in symptoms within the first month. Key areas of improvement included nonverbal communication, alertness, and social interaction. However, gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea were common, necessitating management strategies. Six-month data indicated consistent improvements but were by missing data and the lack of a placebo group. The study aims to enroll participants for at least 12 months, with the option to extend for another year. Additional findings and encore data from other studies on DAYBUE were also presented.
