Results showed a 53.2% median reduction in seizure frequency for the 25mg dose group, compared to a 10.4% reduction in the placebo group, with a p-value of 0.000000000006. The company confirmed that Azetukalner's safety profile was consistent with earlier studies and demonstrated good tolerability.

In a separate development, William Blair analyst Myles Minter maintained a Buy rating on Xenon Pharmaceuticals.
