Published research to date related to the Sigma-1 protein and Childhood Absence Epilepsy has been conducted with compounds not developed by Advantx Pharmaceuticals Inc. Our therapeutic candidate ADV127 for Childhood Absence is the first truly selective, pharmaceutical-grade compound in development targeting the Sigma-1 receptor with a clean molecule, and far superior in potency, safety, and efficacy to all others tested to date.
