Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited financial information and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on February 19, 2026. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
Overview
We are a fully integrated, leading central nervous system, or CNS, precision neuroscience biopharmaceutical company translating insights from genetic epilepsies into the development of therapies for CNS disorders characterized by neuronal excitation-inhibition imbalance. Normal brain function requires a delicate balance of excitation and inhibition in neuronal circuits, which, when dysregulated, can lead to abnormal function and both rare and more prevalent neurological disorders. We are applying genetic insights to the discovery and development of therapies for neurological disorders through two proprietary platforms, using our understanding of shared biological targets and circuits in the brain. Each platform currently has multiple programs, with significant potential for additional program and indication expansion:
•Cerebrum™, our small molecule platform, utilizes deep understanding of neuronal excitability and neuronal networks and applies a series of computational and experimental tools to develop orally available precision therapies
•Solidus™, our antisense oligonucleotide, or ASO, platform, is an efficient, targeted precision medicine discovery and development engine anchored on a proprietary, computational methodology
Our platforms utilize a deliberate, pragmatic and patient-guided approach, leveraging a suite of translational tools, including novel transgenic and predictive translational animal models and electrophysiology markers, to enable an efficient path to proof-of-concept in patients. Through this approach, we have established a diversified, multimodal CNS portfolio with four late-stage product candidates across movement disorders and epilepsy.
For our ulixacaltamide program within the Cerebrum™ platform, we submitted a New Drug Application, or NDA, for ulixacaltamide HCl for the treatment of essential tremor, or ET, to the FDA based on the positive results of our two studies in the Phase 3 Essential3 program in ET, and it was accepted for review with a target action date under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, of January 29, 2027. The mid-cycle meeting was successfully completed and the FDA has identified no major safety or efficacy concerns to date. The agency confirmed that no advisory committee meeting is planned. In anticipation of potential approval, commercial preparations and pre-launch activities are ongoing. In July 2026, we entered into a research collaboration and license agreement with Remagine Labs, Inc., a developer of electronically controlled transdermal drug delivery systems, to develop an iontophoretic transdermal patch for the delivery of ulixacaltamide.
For our relutrigine program within the Cerebrum™ platform, we submitted an NDA for relutrigine for the treatment of SCN2A and SCN8A developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, or DEEs, to the FDA based on the positive results from the registrational cohort of the EMBOLD study in SCN2A-DEE and SCN8A-DEE, and it was accepted for priority review with a target PDUFA action date of September 27, 2026. In June 2026, the FDA notified us that it had extended by three months the review period for our NDA for relutrigine, setting an updated PDUFA action date of December 27, 2026. The mid-cycle meeting was successfully completed and the FDA has identified no major safety or efficacy concerns to date. The agency confirmed that no advisory committee meeting is planned. In anticipation of potential approval, commercial preparations and pre-launch activities are ongoing. The EMERALD study, which is evaluating relutrigine in patients with broad DEEs, has completed recruitment, with topline results anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026. Assuming approval of the NDA for relutrigine, we believe the EMERALD study, if positive, could serve as the basis for a supplemental NDA, or sNDA, submission in 2027.
The FDA has completed its Bioresearch Monitoring, or BIMO, inspection as part of its ongoing review of the ulixacaltamide and relutrigine NDAs. The BIMO inspection was conducted jointly for both applications, and the
19
scope of the inspection was comprehensive, spanning overall quality and clinical operations, data integrity, including statistical and interim analyses, and safety, amongst other standard areas in the BIMO program. The inspection was completed successfully, and no form 483 was issued.
For our vormatrigine program within the Cerebrum™ platform, our ENERGY program is ongoing, which consists of five studies to generate patient eligibility, efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics, or PK, data in patients with focal onset seizures, or FOS, or generalized epilepsy. Studies under the ENERGY program include EMPOWER, RADIANT, POWER1, POWER2 and POWER3. In the second half of 2025, we announced positive results from our RADIANT Phase 2 open-label study evaluating the PK, safety and efficacy of vormatrigine in patients with FOS or generalized epilepsy. We initiated the EMPOWER study, an observational study of vormatrigine in patients with epilepsy, in the third quarter of 2024. In June 2026, we announced that the primary endpoint was not met in our POWER1 study, a double-blind, placebo-controlled, 12-week study in FOS. We paused enrollment in POWER2, our third efficacy study, to reassess the vormatrigine program and determine potential modifications. We intend to restart enrollment of the POWER2 study and initiate the POWER3 study, a clinical trial evaluating vormatrigine as a single-agent treatment for FOS, in the fourth quarter of 2026.
For our most advanced product candidate under the Solidus™ platform, elsunersen, we announced positive topline results in April 2026 from the EMBRAVE Part A study evaluating the safety and efficacy of elsunersen versus sham procedure for treating SCN2A gain-of-function DEE. In June 2026, we received FDA breakthrough therapy designation for elsunersen for the treatment of seizures associated with SCN2A DEEs caused by gain-of-function variants. We are currently enrolling EMBRAVE3, a Phase 3 registrational study for early-seizure-onset SCN2A DEE, and expect to announce topline results in 2027.
We also have three earlier stage novel ASOs with preclinical proof of mechanism. PRAX-080 is focused on PCDH19 mosaic expression, PRAX-090 is targeting SYNGAP1 loss-of-function, or LoF, mutations which is a leading cause of severe intellectual disability and epilepsy in DEEs, and PRAX-100 is targeting SCN2A LoF mutations, the predominant genetic link to de novo autism spectrum disorders, or ASD. We anticipate nominating several development candidates in 2026.
We were incorporated in 2015 and commenced operations in 2016. Since inception, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to developing our preclinical and clinical product candidates, building our intellectual property, or IP, portfolio, business planning, raising capital and providing general and administrative support for these operations. We employ a “virtual” research and development model, relying heavily upon external consultants, collaborators, contract development and manufacturing organizations and contract research organizations, or CROs, to conduct our preclinical and clinical activities. Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily with proceeds from the sale and issuance of equity securities.
We are a development stage company and we have not generated any revenue from product sales. All of our product candidates are in preclinical and clinical development or awaiting regulatory approval. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates, if approved. We have incurred recurring operating losses since inception, including a net loss of $176.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.3 billion. We expect to incur significant expenses for the foreseeable future as we expand our research and development activities and prepare for commercialization of our product candidates. In addition, our losses from operations may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of our clinical trials and our expenditures on other research and development activities. We anticipate that our expenses will be maintained or increased in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:
•prepare for the potential commercialization of ulixacaltamide, for which we have submitted an NDA to the FDA that has been accepted for review, after successful completion of our Phase 3 Essential3 program for ET;
•prepare for the potential commercialization of relutrigine, for which we have submitted an NDA to the FDA which has been accepted for review after a successful interim analysis in the EMBOLD clinical trial, and advance relutrigine in the EMERALD clinical trial;
•advance vormatrigine in the ENERGY clinical trials for FOS or generalized epilepsy;
•advance elsunersen in the EMBRAVE3 pivotal clinical trial;
20
•advance our preclinical candidates to clinical trials;
•further invest in our pipeline;
•further invest in our manufacturing capabilities;
•continue to seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;
•maintain, expand, protect and defend our IP portfolio;
•acquire or in-license technology;
•continue building our sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any products for which we may obtain marketing approval; and
•increase our headcount to support our development and commercialization efforts.
As a result, we will need substantial capital to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through the sale of equity, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements or arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as and when needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization of one or more of our product candidates or delay our pursuit of potential in-licenses or acquisitions.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when or if we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. Even if we are able to generate product sales, we may not become profitable. If we fail t

We submitted a New Drug Application, or NDA, for ulixacaltamide for the treatment of ET to the FDA, and have commenced commercial preparations and pre-launch activities.
For our relutrigine program within the Cerebrum™ platform, in December 2025, we announced positive results from the registrational cohort of the EMBOLD study in SCN2A and SCN8A developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, or DEEs, after receiving a recommendation from the Data Monitoring Committee to stop the study early for efficacy. We submitted an NDA for relutrigine for the treatment of SCN2A-DEE and SCN8A-DEE to the FDA, and commercial preparations and pre-launch activities are underway. The EMERALD study, which is evaluating relutrigine in patients with broad DEEs, is ongoing and we expect to be fully enrolled in the second half of 2026.

POWER2, our third efficacy study, is enrolling patients, with completion expected in the second half of 2026 and topline results expected in 2027. We intend to initiate POWER3, a clinical trial evaluating vormatrigine as a single-agent treatment for focal onset seizures, in the first half of 2026.

We have incurred recurring operating losses since inception, including net losses of $303.3 million and $182.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.1 billion. We expect to incur significant expenses for the foreseeable future as we expand our research and development activities and prepare for commercialization of our product candidates. In addition, our losses from operations may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of our clinical trials and our expenditures on other research and development activities. We anticipate that our expenses will be maintained or increased in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:
•prepare for the potential commercialization of ulixacaltamide, for which we have submitted an NDA to the FDA, after successful completion of our Phase 3 Essential3 program for ET;
•prepare for the potential commercialization of relutrigine, for which we have submitted an NDA to the FDA after a successful interim analysis in the EMBOLD clinical trial, and advance relutrigine in the EMERALD clinical trial;
•advance vormatrigine in the ENERGY clinical trials for focal onset seizures or generalized epilepsy;
•advance elsunersen in the EMBRAVE Part A clinical trial and EMBRAVE3 pivotal clinical trial;
•advance our preclinical candidates to clinical trials;
•further invest in our pipeline;
•further invest in our manufacturing capabilities;
•continue to seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;
•maintain, expand, protect and defend our IP portfolio;
•acquire or in-license technology;
•continue building our sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any products for which we may obtain marketing approval; and
•increase our headcount to support our development and commercialization efforts.

As a result, we will need substantial capital to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through the sale of equity, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements or arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as and when needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization of one or more of our product candidates or delay our pursuit of potential in-licenses or acquisitions.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when or if we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. Even if we are able to generate product sales, we may not become profitable. If we fail to become profitable or are unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, then we may be unable to continue our operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce or terminate our operations.
In December 2023, we entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement, or the 2023 Sales Agreement, with Jefferies, to provide for the offering, issuance and sale of up to an aggregate amount of $75.0 million of common stock from time to time in at-the-market offerings. The 2023 Sales Agreement was terminated in January 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we issued and sold an aggregate of 192,190 shares under the 2023 Sales Agreement for aggregate net proceeds of $5.3 million, after deducting commissions and offering expenses payable by us.
In January 2024, we completed a public offering of: (i) an aggregate of 3,802,025 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $35.50 per share, including the underwriters' full exercise of their option to purchase 633,750 additional shares of common stock, and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase 1,056,725 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $35.4999 per share of common stock underlying the warrants. The purchase price per share for each pre-funded warrant represents the per share offering price for the common stock, less the $0.0001 per share exercise price of each underlying share. Total net proceeds generated from the offering were approximately $161.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses payable by us. During the year ended December 31, 2024, 152,145 pre-funded warrants were exercised via a cashless exercise, resulting in 152,142 shares of common stock issued. No cash proceeds associated with the exercise were received by us. During the year ended December 31, 2025, 200,355 pre-funded warrants were exercised via cashless exercise, resulting in 200,349 shares of common stock issued.
