OPERATING REVIEW CONTINUED Optimum dose identified In the Phelan-McDermid syndrome model, the effect of four escalating dose levels was investigated. The results of this dose ranging study are shown in the charts below. They were consistent across all 8 behavioral tests and the incidence of seizures, demonstrating that the second highest dose was the optimum dose level in the mouse model. Comparison with human pharmacokinetic data from the Phase 1 clinical trial has informed the equivalent human dose for the Phase 2 trials in patients. A further observation was that the optimum dose in this 6-week study showed better efficacy than the same dose in an earlier study for 3 weeks, indicating that efficacy increases with treatment duration. In the Phase 2 trials Neuren is testing treatment with NNZ-2591 for 13 weeks.
