• Presenting data evaluating LP352 engagement of central 5-HT2C receptors via effects on prolactin, and assessing binding activity and functional agonism of LP352 at the 5-HT2 receptors
• Hosting scientific exhibit highlighting the ongoing Phase 1b/2a PACIFIC Study, and LP352, a novel, highly selective 5-HT2C superagonist in development for rare seizure disorders

Longboard Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: LBPH), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel, transformative medicines for neurological diseases, today announced that it will present data for LP352, a novel, highly selective investigational treatment in development for seizures associated with a range of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs), in two poster sessions at the 2022 AES Annual Meeting. Longboard will also host a scientific exhibit with members of its leadership team to highlight details of the ongoing PACIFIC study, and to discuss LP352 as a potential best-in-class therapy for people living with rare seizure disorders.

“We are committed to improving the lives of people living with rare epilepsies, and are pleased to have a meaningful presence at AES this year. We look forward to presenting data highlighting the intrinsic characteristics of LP352, as well as hosting discussions around our ongoing PACIFIC study and future development plans. We believe that LP352 has the promise to be a best-in-class therapy for a broad range of DEEs, and make a difference in these devastating conditions,” stated Dr. Randall Kaye, Longboard’s Chief Medical Officer.

About Longboard Pharmaceuticals

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 is evaluating LP352, an oral, centrally acting 5-hydroxytryptamine 2C (5-HT2C) receptor superagonist, with negligible observed impact on 5-HT2B and 5-HT2A receptor subtypes, in development for the potential treatment of seizures associated with a broad range of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs). LP352 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial, the PACIFIC Study, for the potential treatment of seizures associated with DEEs. Longboard is also evaluating LP659, a centrally acting, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor subtypes 1 and 5 modulator, in development for the potential treatment of multiple neurological diseases, and LP143, a centrally acting, full cannabinoid type 2 receptor (CB2) agonist, in development for the potential treatment of central nervous system diseases and disorders.
