- Two podium and one poster presentation share important new findings on FINTEPLA’s safety profile and its impact on non-seizure related benefits for LGS patients
- LGS is a debilitating childhood-onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathy estimated to affect approximately 30,000-50,000 patients in the
U.S. 1
“At AAN, we look forward to sharing our latest research for FINTEPLA in LGS that highlights long-term evidence of its cardiovascular safety profile as well as sustained reduction in drop seizure frequency,” said
The analyses include the FINTEPLA open-label study data (NCT03355209) in LGS at two podium presentations, and authors will be available to discuss the data during a discussion:

About Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome
Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome is a rare and devastating lifelong childhood-onset epilepsy that can arise from multiple different causes. LGS is characterized by many different seizure types, including many that result in frequent falls and injuries. The intellectual and behavioral problems associated with LGS, as well as around-the-clock care requirements, add to the complexity of life with this disease.2
About FINTEPLA® (fenfluramine) oral solution
FINTEPLA is approved by the FDA and European Commission for the treatment of seizures associated with Dravet syndrome and is in development in Japan for the treatment of seizures associated with Dravet syndrome. FINTEPLA is also being investigated as a potential treatment for Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) and other rare and severe childhood-onset epilepsy disorders.
