Copy from letter from Praxis:
Monday morning, June 6th, we published an 8K filing announcing news involving multiple programs at Praxis Precision Medicines. One of these announcements pertained to the FDA’s clinical hold on our recent IND filing for PRAX-222 in SCN2A, so we wanted to share further context for it.
On May 25, 2022, the Company received a communication from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) providing additional information on the clinical hold placed on the Company’s Investigational New Drug application (the “IND”) for the study of PRAX-222, an antisense oligonucleotide, for the treatment of patients with SCN2A gain-of-function mutations.

This surely will leave our SCN2A community with questions about the timing of our path forward. While the protocol and the discussions being held with the FDA remain confidential, we will do our best to maintain transparency and responsiveness throughout the process.  
 
We continue to be fully committed to advancing PRAX-222 to clinical study. We also want to restate that this news is specific to PRAX-222, without impact on our PRAX-562 program for SCN2A, SCN8A and TSC. In Monday’s press release, we reiterated our focus on driving toward proof of concept for PRAX-562. We’ll provide further updates on PRAX-562 as we approach major milestones on this path.
