Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On December 5, 2022, Longboard Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") announced positive topline data from a Phase 1 clinical study evaluating the central nervous system (“CNS”) pharmacokinetics (“PK”) and pharmacodynamics (“PD”) of LP352, an oral, centrally acting 5-hydroxytryptamine 2C receptor subtype superagonist, in healthy volunteers. In connection with the data release, the Company compiled a presentation entitled "The Potential of LP352", which includes LP352 preclinical and clinical summary results to date, including the data from the Phase 1 clinical study referenced above.

 

A copy of the presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.1. For important information about forward-looking statements, see the slide titled “Forward-Looking Statements” in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto.

 

The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The information contained in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) made by the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

As noted in Item 7.01, on December 5, 2022, the Company announced positive topline data from its Phase 1 clinical study evaluating CNS PK and PD of LP352 in healthy volunteers.

 

The primary objectives of the open-label, Phase 1 study are to assess the central nervous system ("CNS") pharmacokinetics ("PK") and pharmacodynamics ("PD") of orally administered LP352 in healthy adult male and female participants (n=10 in each Cohort). Objectives include the characterization of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (“CSF”) PK, the characterization of safety and tolerability of doses with titration and taper, and the assessment of the PK-PD relationships between plasma and CSF exposure, and PD endpoints of safety and efficacy, including quantitative electroencephalogram (“qEEG”) endpoints. Two doses (Cohort 1 = 6 mg and Cohort 2 = 12 mg) of LP352 three times daily were tested over a 16-day period in addition to a screening and follow-up period. Additional cohorts of the study are ongoing.

 

Topline data for Cohorts 1 and 2 reported include:

LP352 exhibited a strong correlation between plasma and CSF PK concentration, which increased in a dose-dependent and consistent manner
LP352 demonstrated early qEEG changes, and sustained effects on qEEG activity after continuous dosing in a dose-dependent manner indicating receptor engagement
Favorable safety and tolerability results were observed in the study, with adverse events generally consistent with previous clinical studies

 

In addition, LP352 is being designed and dose-optimized for developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (“DEEs”). The Company is currently assessing alternative strategies to elucidate the benefits and feasibility of certain twice daily (“BID”) dosing formulations. This work is ongoing and the Company expects to complete this assessment prior to initiating a Phase 3 clinical study for LP352 for DEEs.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to Company’s expectations regarding completing its BID assessment prior to initiating a Phase 3 clinical study for LP352 for DEEs.

Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements about Longboard Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“we,” “Longboard” or the “Company”), including statements regarding: our future results of operations and financial position; business strategy; the timing, costs, conduct and results of our preclinical studies and clinical trials for our product candidates, such as our expectations regarding our PACIFIC Study and data from our Phase 1 Open-Label PK/PD study; the timing and likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals for our product candidates, such as our pre-IND meeting for LP659; our intellectual property; our ability to obtain regulatory approval and commercialize our product candidates; the potential of LP352, including to limit adverse events associated with currently available non-selective ASMs, make a difference across a range of DEEs, and be a best-in-class ASM, including through BID dosing; and other statements that are not historical facts, including statements that may include words such as “will”, “may”, “can”, “intend”, “plan”, “expect”, “believe”, “potential” and similar words.   For such statements, we claim the protection of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to: our limited operating history; net losses; our expectation that we will incur net losses for the foreseeable future, and that we may never be profitable; our need for additional funding and related risks for our business, product development programs and future commercialization activities; the timing and success of clinical trials we conduct; topline data may not reflect the complete or final results of a particular study or trial, and are subject to change; the ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval of our product candidates; the ability to commercialize our product candidates; our ability to compete in the marketplace; risks regarding our license and dependencies on others; our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection and freedom to operate for our product candidates; our ability to manage our growth; and other risks and factors disclosed in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
