RADNOR, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The U.S. patent No. 12,115,169 expires in September 2042.
“The new patent granted to Marinus further strengthens the IP protection of ZTALMY and supports our development and commercialization plans for ganaxolone in TSC and other areas of high unmet need, such as LGS,” said Scott Braunstein, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Marinus. “Our patent portfolio is the result of decades of research and scientific innovation, fortified by robust data on the pharmacology and effective clinical dosing of ganaxolone. We are pleased that the USPTO recognized that the claimed titration regimens are markedly different from prior titration regimens. We believe that this revised ganaxolone titration schedule has the potential to have a meaningful impact on tolerability, compliance, and lead to improved patient outcomes in a range of epilepsy disorders.”
