On May 26, 2023, Marinus Pharmaceuticals announced that its drug, ZTALMY (ganaxolone) oral suspension, received a positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA). ZTALMY is indicated for the adjunctive treatment of epileptic seizures associated with cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) deficiency disorder (CDD) in patients 2 to 17 years of age, and may be continued in patients aged 18 and over. CDD is a genetic disease that causes seizures in early childhood. If approved, ZTALMY will be the first treatment in the EU indicated for the adjunctive treatment of seizures associated with CDD. The CHMP recommendation will now be reviewed by the European Commission (EC), which has the power to approve medicines for the European Union (EU). A final decision from the EC is expected within 67 days of receiving the CHMP opinion and will be applicable to the 27 EU member states, plus Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein. It should be noted that ZTALMY has previously been approved by the FDA for the treatment of seizures associated with CDKL5 deficiency disorder in patients two years of age and older.
