   EMERYVILLE, Calif., April 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zogenix (NASDAQ:ZGNX), a global biopharmaceutical company developing rare disease therapies, today announced the launch of its new global access program for FINTEPLA (fenfluramine) oral solution. FINTEPLA was approved in the U.S. and European Union in 2020 as an add-on therapy for the treatment of seizures associated with a debilitating rare epilepsy called Dravet syndrome in patients aged two years and older. The Zogenix Access Program expands access for physicians in other parts of the world, where local regulations allow, including European countries where reimbursement has not yet been established.

   "Three randomized clinical studies have demonstrated FINTEPLA's ability to provide transformational and durable seizure reduction for many Dravet syndrome patients whose seizures were not adequately controlled despite treatment with one or more other anti-epileptic medicines," said Bradley S. Galer, M.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at Zogenix. "With these results and more than one thousand treated Dravet syndrome patients, physicians in many countries have expressed interest in FINTEPLA for their patients. We are pleased to be able to take this step to support their requests and help more patients in need."

   Zogenix has partnered with Durbin, a part of Uniphar Group's Product Access Division and a leading specialist in the international distribution of specialized pharmaceuticals, to manage the Zogenix Access Program for FINTEPLA. Durbin has extensive global experience providing, high-quality support while adhering to complex local requirements.

   "We are delighted to be working in partnership with Zogenix on this important access program," said Dan Piggott, Managing Director of Uniphar Group's Product Access Division. "We look forward to helping facilitate broader access to FINTEPLA for patients with critical unmet medical needs."

   About the Zogenix Access Program
   
   The Zogenix Access Program is for physicians who are interested in treating their patients with FINTEPLA in countries where it is not yet available commercially or through local access schemes. The program does not provide free-of-charge access to FINTEPLA and does not affect patients already taking FINTEPLA as part of a clinical study. Specifics of the program may vary by country based on local regulations.

   In the U.S. and Europe, treatment with FINTEPLA is initiated and supervised by physicians with experience in the treatment of epilepsy under a Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program (U.S.) or Controlled Access Program (EU). Similarly, access through this program must be requested by the patient's treating physician. Where local regulations allow, an initial registration process enables the program team to begin working with physicians on treatment and important safeguard planning.

   Physicians can learn more about the Zogenix Access Program for FINTEPLA by sending an email inquiry to .

   About FINTEPLA^®
   
   Fintepla is a new treatment option that in clinical studies provided significant, well-tolerated, and lasting seizure reduction to many Dravet syndrome study patients. In 2020, FINTEPLA (fenfluramine) oral solution was approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and by the European Commission as an add on therapy to other anti-epileptic medicines for the treatment of seizures associated with Dravet syndrome in patients aged two years and older. In addition, Zogenix recently reported positive results of a third Phase 3 study of FINTEPLA in Dravet syndrome to support planned registration in Japan, a study that corroborated the statistically significant and clinically meaningful convulsive seizure reductions seen in earlier multi-national Phase 3 studies. FINTEPLA is also being studied for the potential treatment of seizures associated with other rare epilepsies.

   About Dravet Syndrome
   
   Dravet syndrome is a rare, devastating and life-long form of epilepsy that generally begins in infancy and is marked by frequent, treatment-resistant seizures, significant developmental, motor, and behavioral impairments, and an increased risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Affecting one in 15,700 live births in the U.S. and approximately one in 20,000 to 40,000 live births in Europe, most patients follow a course of developmental delay with cognitive, motor, and behavioral deficits that persist into adulthood. Dravet syndrome severely impacts quality of life for patients, families, and caregivers due to the high physical, emotional, caregiving, and financial burden associated with the disease.

   About Durbin
   
   Durbin is a specialist pharmaceutical services provider, distributing critical medications to over 160 different countries. A part of Uniphar Group's Product Access Division, Durbin works in partnership with global pharmaceutical and biotech companies to provide Early Access Programs (EAPs), including Named Patient Supply and Cohort Programs. The company has over 25 years' experience designing and implementing EAPs from concept and specializes in developing robust and compliant voluntary data collection initiatives that run seamlessly alongside the programs they manage.

3. 22 April 2021 Zogenix Presents New Data at Virtual AAN 2021 Showing Improved Executive Function in Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) Patients Treated with FINTEPLA® (Fenfluramine) Oral Solution

   • LGS is one of the most challenging developmental and epileptic encephalopathies to manage because of high seizure frequency and significant neurodevelopmental impairment.
   • More LGS study patients treated with FINTEPLA (fenfluramine) showed improvement in each of the BRIEF 2 indexes that have been used to assess behavior, emotion, and cognitive function in intractable epilepsy and other developmental conditions.
   • Improvement was statistically significant for Cognition (27% vs 13% placebo, p=0.046) and the Global Executive Composite score (25% vs 11% placebo, p=0.034), where approximately twice as many patients achieved clinically meaningful improvement.

   • LGS is one of the most challenging developmental and epileptic encephalopathies to manage because of high seizure frequency and significant neurodevelopmental impairment.
   • More LGS study patients treated with FINTEPLA (fenfluramine) showed improvement in each of the BRIEF 2 indexes that have been used to assess behavior, emotion, and cognitive function in intractable epilepsy and other developmental conditions.
   • Improvement was statistically significant for Cognition (27% vs 13% placebo, p=0.046) and the Global Executive Composite score (25% vs 11% placebo, p=0.034), where approximately twice as many patients achieved clinically meaningful improvement.

   EMERYVILLE, Calif., April 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zogenix (NASDAQ:ZGNX), a global biopharmaceutical company developing rare disease therapies, today announced new data showing the positive impact of treatment with FINTEPLA^® (fenfluramine) oral solution on everyday executive function for children and young adults with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS). FINTEPLA is being investigated for the treatment of seizures associated with LGS, a rare, severe epilepsy that is one of the most challenging developmental and epileptic encephalopathies to manage due to the high seizure frequency and significant neurodevelopmental impairment patients experience.

   The data, presented in an oral presentation and fireside chat at the virtual American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting this week, was the first presentation of FINTEPLA's impact on LGS patients' abilities to self-regulate behavior, emotions, and cognition. These new data complement earlier Phase 3 trial data demonstrating FINTEPLA's ability to significantly reduce drop seizure frequency and, especially, generalized tonic-clonic seizure frequency (a primary risk factor for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, or SUDEP) for many LGS patients.

   "FINTEPLA-treated children and young adults with LGS showed improved overall self-regulation, with specific improvements in regulation of attention and cognition after 14 weeks in a Phase 3 double-blind randomized controlled trial," said Kim Bishop, Ph.D. of Global Pharma Consultancy and lead author for the study. "Better self-regulation can have a positive impact on children's everyday functioning and reduce caregiver burden."

   Analysis
   
   The objective of this post-hoc analysis was to assess the impact of FINTEPLA (fenfluramine) on everyday executive function as captured using the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF^®) as part of the Zogenix 14-week randomized Phase 3 clinical trial of children and young adults with LGS. The BRIEF assessments were completed by caregivers or parents as part of the trial, which included a total of 263 LGS patients aged 2-35 years. After a 4-week baseline, patients were randomized to placebo or one of two fenfluramine doses. Treatment continued for a combined 14-week titration and maintenance period. Age-appropriate versions of the BRIEF were administered at baseline and end of study.

   This analysis included 137 patients (age 6-18) that had both baseline and end of-study BRIEF assessments (median age of 12 years), mapping the BRIEF ratings to the current BRIEF^® 2 parent form, a shorter, 63-item version, which incorporates a large, 1,400-sample size normative population and statistics to support interpretation. This analysis did not include patients over 18 years of age because normative population data in adults is not yet available. The BRIEF 2 analysis utilizes the Reliable Change Index (RCI) for Behavior, Emotion, Cognition, and Global scores that represent a degree of confidence that the change represents a real effect (versus test-related errors and practice effects), and therefore is clinically meaningful. Associations between change in BRIEF 2 scores and combined active (0.2 and 0.7 mg/kg/day fenfluramine) versus placebo treatment groups were evaluated in cross tabulations using Somers' D statistic.

   Results
   
   Mean age of patients in the FINTEPLA (n=92) vs. placebo (n=45) groups was 12 ± 3.6, with 44% of the FINTEPLA patients being female vs. 53% in the placebo group. The frequency of clinically elevated T-scores at baseline, defined as a T-score ≥65, was substantial, suggesting frequent impairment in executive function, as would be expected for children with LGS. Subjects with greater improvement in seizure control were more likely to show clinically meaningful improvements in executive functioning after the 14-week study duration.

   More patients on FINTEPLA (fenfluramine) than placebo showed improvement in each of the four BRIEF 2 indexes (Behavior, Emotions, Cognition, and Global Executive Composite). Improvement was significantly greater for the CRI (Cognition) and GEC (Global Executive Composite) scores, indicating clinically meaningful improvement in the FINTEPLA (fenfluramine)-treated patients.

   Percentage of Patients Showing Clinically Meaningful Improvement (RCI ≥95% Certainty) in Active vs Placebo Treatment Groups
   BRIEF® 2 Index	FINTEPLA® Fenfluramine (%) (N=92)	Placebo (%) (N=45)	P-Value
   BRI (Behavior)	24%	13%	0.118
   ERI (Emotions)	19%	16%	0.665
   CRI (Cognition)	27%	13%	0.046
   GEC (Global Executive Composite overarching summary score)	25%	11%	0.034

   "Analyses from our separate Phase 3 trials and long-term open label studies in Dravet syndrome, another difficult to treat rare epilepsy, showed that FINTEPLA provided sustained, clinically meaningful improvements in seizure control and executive function," said Gail Farfel, Ph.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer at Zogenix and one of the study authors. "With a growing set of differentiating data in Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, we remain eager to continue advancing FINTEPLA as a potential new treatment option for patients living with this incredibly refractory disease."

   Presentation
   
   Dr. Kim Bishop presented and discussed the data during Virtual AAN 2021; the slides from her presentation are archived on the Zogenix Newsroom.

   About Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome
   
   Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) 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 and that often don't respond to currently available seizure medications 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.

5. 16 April 2021 Zogenix Presents New Data from a Study Highlighting the Impact of Treatment with FINTEPLA® (Fenfluramine) Oral Solution on Dravet Syndrome Patients, Caregivers, and Families at Virtual AAN 2021

   • Seizure Related Benefits noted by caregivers included reduction in frequency, fewer triggers causing seizures, and shorter recovery time when seizure did occur.
     
     
   • Non-Seizure benefits most commonly noted include improvements in executive functions such as cognition, learning, and problem solving, as well as mood, sleep quality, and motor function.
     
     
   • The majority of caregivers reported feeling less stress, anxiety, and depression, with 62% of employed parents missing less work.

   EMERYVILLE, Calif., April 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Zogenix (NASDAQ:ZGNX), a global biopharmaceutical company developing rare disease therapies, today announced new findings from an investigator-initiated study designed to assess caregivers' perspectives on the long-term seizure- and non-seizure-related benefits of FINTEPLA^® (fenfluramine) on patients with Dravet syndrome, a rare, severe epilepsy, and on their caregivers and families. Data from the study is being presented during the virtual American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting, April 17-22, 2021.

   "The impact of Dravet syndrome on the lives of the diagnosed child and the family members who care and worry about their loved one can be severe and unrelenting," said Mark Jensen, Ph.D., Vice Chair for Research in Rehabilitation Medicine at UW Medicine, Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Washington, and lead author for the study. "Our study shows that treatment with FINTEPLA not only reduces seizure activity, but also results in substantial benefits for many other aspects of the lives of those impacted by Dravet syndrome. The majority of caregivers reported that after treatment began, they felt less overwhelmed, less anxiety, and less stress. They noted improvements in sleep in both the child and themselves, and even noticed improvements in the siblings of the child with Dravet syndrome. As they witnessed these improvements, they experienced, for the first time in many years, hope for the future of their child."

   Study Methodology
   
   Caregivers of patients who received FINTEPLA through either the Phase 3 clinical trial program or the U.S. early access program were recruited to participate in one-on-one semi-structured interviews to discuss the benefits of fenfluramine for the child with Dravet syndrome, as well as the parents and the family as a whole. A total of 59 caregivers with a mean age of 48, 85% female, and 88% living with their partner or spouse participated in the interviews. Discussions were audiotaped and used to generate summaries which were analyzed to identify themes for responses. The numbers and rates of responses in each category were then computed (for example, responses about topics such as shorter post-seizure recovery time). Caregivers also provided demographic and clinical information about their child with Dravet syndrome and completed a self-report survey about their own health and quality of life.

   Study Results
   
   Of the participants interviewed, 34% were caregivers of adult patients with Dravet syndrome. Mean age of patients with Dravet syndrome was 15 years (range, 2-33 years) and they had been on the FINTEPLA treatment regimen for an average of 21 months (range, 5-59 months).

   • The most commonly reported non-seizure-related improvements were in the areas of cognition (76%), alertness (68%), education (65%), problem solving (56%), speech (48%), sleep quality (47%), motor function (46%), and mood (41%).
   • Caregiver parents themselves reported feeling less overwhelmed (71%), less stress (66%), and less anxiety and depression (68%). More than two-thirds reported that the quality of their sleep improved (71%) and they had more time to do things they enjoy (56%). In addition, 44% of parents reported that the relationship with their spouse or partner improved and 62% of employed parents missed less work.
   • Reported family benefits included less family stress (76%), improved relationship between the Dravet syndrome child and their siblings (56%), improved behavior and/or mood of siblings (58%), and easier time for their family to do things with others (64%).
     
     

   "In three Phase 3 studies, FINTEPLA has demonstrated the ability to provide transformational and durable seizure reduction for many Dravet syndrome patients whose seizures were not adequately controlled on their existing anti-epileptic medicines," said Bradley S. Galer, M.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at Zogenix and one of the study authors. "This qualitative study provides insight directly from caregivers about the real world benefits they observe in their children and family as a result of their child being treated with FINTEPLA. These findings further support the data reported in our Phase 3 studies related to seizure and non-seizure outcomes."

   The poster, titled "Caregivers' Perspectives on the Long-Term Seizure- and Non-Seizure-Related Benefits of Fenfluramine on Patients with Dravet Syndrome and Their Families" (Amtmann, Salem, Gammaitoni et al), is also available on the Zogenix Newsroom.

   About Dravet Syndrome
   
   Dravet syndrome is a rare, devastating and life-long form of epilepsy that generally begins in infancy and is marked by frequent, treatment-resistant seizures, significant developmental, motor, and behavioral impairments, and an increased risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Affecting one in 15,700 live births in the U.S. and approximately one in 20,000 to 40,000 live births in Europe, most patients follow a course of developmental delay with cognitive, motor and behavioral deficits that persist into adulthood. Dravet syndrome severely impacts quality of life for patients, families and caregivers due to the high physical, emotional, caregiving, and financial burden associated with the disease.

   About FINTEPLA^® (fenfluramine) oral solution
   
   FINTEPLA (fenfluramine) oral solution is approved in the United States, has received a positive CHMP opinion in Europe, and is in development in Japan for the treatment of seizures associated with Dravet syndrome, and is being investigated as a potential treatment for Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) and other rare and severe childhood-onset epilepsy disorders.

   United States
   
   IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
   
   Boxed WARNING: VALVULAR HEART DISEASE and PULMONARY ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION

   • There is an association between serotonergic drugs with 5-HT2B receptor agonist activity, including fenfluramine (the active ingredient in FINTEPLA), and valvular heart disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
   • Echocardiogram assessments are required before, during, and after treatment with FINTEPLA.
   • FINTEPLA is available only through a restricted program called the FINTEPLA REMS.
     
     

   Contraindications
   
   FINTEPLA is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to fenfluramine or any of the excipients in FINTEPLA and with concomitant use of, or within 14 days of the administration of monoamine oxidase inhibitors because of an increased risk of serotonin syndrome.

   WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

   Valvular Heart Disease and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (see boxed Warning)
   
   Because of the association between serotonergic drugs with 5-HT2B receptor agonist activity, including fenfluramine (the active ingredient in FINTEPLA), and valvular heart disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension, cardiac monitoring via echocardiogram is required prior to starting treatment, during treatment, and after treatment with FINTEPLA concludes. Cardiac monitoring via echocardiogram can aid in early detection of this condition. In clinical trials of up to 3 years in duration, no patient receiving FINTEPLA developed valvular heart disease or pulmonary arterial hypertension.

   Monitoring
   
   Prior to starting treatment, patients must undergo an echocardiogram to evaluate for valvular heart disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Echocardiograms should be repeated every 6 months, and once 3-6 months post-treatment with FINTEPLA.

   If valvular heart disease or pulmonary arterial hypertension is observed on an echocardiogram, the prescriber must consider the benefits versus the risks of initiating or continuing treatment with FINTEPLA.

   FINTEPLA REMS Program (see boxed Warning)
   
   In the United States, FINTEPLA is available only through a restricted distribution program called the FINTEPLA REMS program. Prescribers must be certified by enrolling in the FINTEPLA REMS program. Prescribers must Counsel patients receiving FINTEPLA about the risk of valvular heart disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension, how to recognize signs and symptoms of valvular heart disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension, the need for baseline (pretreatment) and periodic cardiac monitoring via echocardiogram during FINTEPLA treatment, and cardiac monitoring after FINTEPLA treatment. Patients must enroll in the REMS program and comply with ongoing monitoring requirements. The pharmacy must be certified by enrolling in the REMS program and must only dispense to patients who are authorized to receive FINTEPLA. Wholesalers and distributors must only distribute to certified pharmacies. Further information is available at www.FinteplaREMS.com or by telephone at 1-877-964-3649.

   Decreased Appetite and Decreased Weight
   
   FINTEPLA can cause decreases in appetite and weight. Decreases in weight appear to be dose related. Most patients resumed the expected measured increases in weight by the end of the open-label extension study. Weight should be monitored regularly during treatment with FINTEPLA and dose modifications should be considered if a decrease in weight is observed.

   Somnolence, Sedation, and Lethargy
   
   FINTEPLA can cause somnolence, sedation, and lethargy. Other central nervous system (CNS) depressants, including alcohol, could potentiate these effects of FINTEPLA. Prescribers should monitor patients for somnolence and sedation and should advise patients not to drive or operate machinery until they have gained sufficient experience on FINTEPLA to gauge whether it adversely affects their ability to drive or operate machinery.

   Suicidal Behavior and Ideation
   
   Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in patients taking these drugs for any indication. Patients treated with an AED for any indication should be monitored for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal thoughts or behavior, or any unusual changes in mood or behavior.

   Anyone considering prescribing FINTEPLA or any other AED must balance the risk of suicidal thoughts or behaviors with the risk of untreated illness. Epilepsy and many other illnesses for which AEDs are prescribed are themselves associated with morbidity and mortality and an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior. Should suicidal thoughts and behavior emerge during treatment, consider whether the emergence of these symptoms in any given patient may be related to the illness being treated.

   Withdrawal of Antiepileptic Drugs
   
   As with most AEDs, FINTEPLA should generally be withdrawn gradually because of the risk of increased seizure frequency and status epilepticus. If withdrawal is needed because of a serious adverse reaction, rapid discontinuation can be considered.

   Serotonin Syndrome
   
   Serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition, may occur with FINTEPLA, particularly with concomitant administration of FINTEPLA with other serotonergic drugs, including, but not limited to, selective serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), bupropion, triptans, dietary supplements (eg, St. John's Wort, tryptophan), drugs that impair metabolism of serotonin (including monoamine oxidase inhibitors [MAOIs], which are contraindicated with FINTEPLA, dextromethorphan, lithium, tramadol, and antipsychotics with serotonergic agonist activity. Patients should be monitored for the emergence of signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome, which include mental status changes (eg, agitation, hallucinations, coma), autonomic instability (eg, tachycardia, labile blood pressure, hyperthermia), neuromuscular signs (eg, hyperreflexia, incoordination), and/or gastrointestinal symptoms (eg, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). If serotonin syndrome is suspected, treatment with FINTEPLA should be stopped immediately and symptomatic treatment should be started.

   Increase in Blood Pressure
   
   FINTEPLA can cause an increase in blood pressure. Significant elevation in blood pressure, including hypertensive crisis, has been reported rarely in adult patients treated with fenfluramine, including patients without a history of hypertension. Monitor blood pressure in patients treated with FINTEPLA. In clinical trials of up to 3 years in duration, no patient receiving FINTEPLA developed hypertensive crisis.

   Glaucoma
   
   Fenfluramine can cause mydriasis and can precipitate angle closure glaucoma. Consider discontinuing treatment with FINTEPLA in patients with acute decreases in visual acuity or ocular pain.

   Adverse Reactions
   
   The most common adverse reactions (incidence at least 10% and greater than placebo) were decreased appetite; somnolence, sedation, lethargy; diarrhea; constipation; abnormal echocardiogram; fatigue, malaise, asthenia; ataxia, balance disorder, gait disturbance; blood pressure increased; drooling, salivary hypersecretion; pyrexia; upper respiratory tract infection; vomiting; decreased weight; fall; status epilepticus.

   Drug Interactions
   
   Strong CYP1A2 and CYP2B6 Inducers: Coadministration with rifampin or a strong CYP1A2 and CYP2B6 inducer will decrease fenfluramine plasma concentrations.

   Consider an increase in FINTEPLA dosage when coadministered with rifampin or a strong CYP1A2 and CYP2B6 inducer.

   Use in Specific Populations
   
   Administration to patients with moderate or severe renal impairment or to patients with hepatic impairment is not recommended.

   Please see full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning, for additional important information on FINTEPLA.
