The company is actively planning a global Phase 3 clinical study and aims to share further developments by year-end. Mary Anne Meskis, Executive Director of the Dravet Syndrome Foundation, highlighted the hope this designation provides to families enduring the challenges of uncontrolled seizures, solidifying Stoke’s dedication to transforming treatment landscapes for patients with severe neurological disorders.
