Zevra Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ZVRA) announced the presentation of data validating the swallow domain's significance in the Niemann-Pick Disease Type C Clinical Severity Scale (NPCCSS) at the 53rd Child Neurology Society Annual Meeting. The study, presented by Dr. Elizabeth Berry-Kravis, involved 12 NPC and swallow experts evaluating scoring categories and instructions.
The findings confirmed that NPCCSS swallow response categories can be consistently interpreted, with score changes reflecting actual changes in patient swallow function. The revised scoring algorithm improves linearity by re-ranking dysphagia categories and creating a separate category for tube-feeding. The R4DNPCCSS endpoint, which includes this revised swallow domain along with ambulation, fine motor skills, and speech domains, showed a favorable treatment difference of -1.51 (P=0.0413) for arimoclomol compared to placebo in the Phase 2/3 study.

The National Urea Cycle Disorders Foundation (NUCDF) and Zevra Therapeutics (NasdaqGS: ZVRA) have launched the Check Ammonia Campaign in October to improve the diagnosis of urea cycle disorders (UCDs). The campaign aims to highlight the critical importance of prompt and accurate blood ammonia testing, which is essential for detecting elevated ammonia levels (hyperammonemia), a classic sign of UCDs.
The campaign website, checkammonia.com, offers resources on recognizing and testing for hyperammonemia. Quick diagnosis is important as toxic ammonia levels can rise rapidly in affected individuals, potentially leading to coma and death if left untreated. Newborns with severe UCDs typically become critically ill within 36-48 hours after birth, and it's estimated that up to 20% of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) cases may be due to undiagnosed inborn errors of metabolism like UCDs.
Zevra Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ZVRA) announced that top-line data from its Phase 2 clinical trial of KP1077 for idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) will be presented at Sleep Europe 2024.

Dr. Rene Braeckman, Zevra's Senior VP of Clinical Development, will present the findings, which demonstrate clinically meaningful benefits for key IH symptoms. The data will provide important information for designing a Phase 3 study. Presentations will include an oral session on September 27 and a poster session on September 26 at the 27th Congress of the European Sleep Research Society in Seville, Spain.
