NEW YORK, Sept. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ovid Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: OVID), a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing medicines that transform the lives of people with epilepsies and seizure-related disorders, today announced that it will host a Research & Development (R&D) Day investor event on Monday, October 2, 2023.

Ovid management will provide updates on Ovid’s scientific strategy and anticipated clinical development plans. Additionally, the Company’s research and development leadership will review new data characterizing how the unique mechanisms of action in its pipeline address the underlying causes of neuronal hyperexcitability and may hold broader therapeutic potential in other central nervous system disorders.

  • Imad Najm, M.D. – Vice Chair for Strategy and Development at the Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute; Director of the Cleveland Clinic Epilepsy Center
  • Connie Lee, Psy.D. – Chief Executive Officer and founding President of the Alliance to Cure Cavernous Malformation

About Ovid Therapeutics

Ovid Therapeutics Inc. is a New York-based biopharmaceutical company striving to conquer seizures and intractable brain disorders with courageous science. The Company is advancing a focused pipeline of targeted small molecule candidates to modulate the intrinsic and extrinsic factors involved in neuronal hyperexcitation, which can cause seizures and other neuropathological symptoms. Programs Ovid seeks to develop include: GV101, a potent and highly selective ROCK2 inhibitor, for the potential treatment of lesions associated with cerebral cavernous malformations; OV329, a GABA-aminotransferase inhibitor, for the potential treatment of treatment-resistant seizures; and OV350, a direct activator of the KCC2 transporter, for the potential treatment of epilepsies. In addition, the Company's ROCK2 inhibitor and KCC2 activator portfolios have the potential to treat other neurological conditions. Ovid also maintains a significant financial interest in the future regulatory development and potential commercialization of soticlestat, which Takeda is responsible for advancing globally. Soticlestat is a cholesterol 24-hydroxylase inhibitor, which is currently in Phase 3 trials for Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut syndromes.
