A Clinical Trial of PRAX-114 in Participants With Essential Tremor

Exclusion Criteria

• •1. Has a history or clinical evidence of other medical, neurological, or psychiatric condition that may explain or cause tremor, including but not limited to Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, cerebellar disease (including spinocerebellar ataxias), primary dystonia, Fragile X Tremor/Ataxia syndrome or family history of Fragile X syndrome, traumatic brain injury, psychogenic tremor, alcohol or benzodiazepine abuse or withdrawal, multiple sclerosis, polyneuropathy, and endocrine states such as hyperthyroidism or unstable treatment of hypothyroidism or medication, food, or supplement induced movement disorders (eg, tremor related to beta agonists or caffeine), or other medical, neurological, or psychiatric conditions that may explain or cause tremor.
• •2. Has trauma to the nervous system within 3 months preceding the onset of tremor.
• •3. Has had prior magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound or surgical intervention for ET such as deep brain stimulation or thalamotomy.
• •4. Has had botulinum toxin injection for ET in the 6 months prior to Screening.
• •5. Is using the Cala trio health device for ET in the last 14 days prior to Baseline and throughout the study.
• •6. Is unwilling or unable to refrain from episodic use of medication(s)/substance(s) that might interfere with the evaluation of tremor during the trial. Stable use of medication(s)/substance(s) that might impact tremor, including caffeine and beta-agonist bronchodilators, is allowed so long as the tremor is judged by the Investigator to be primarily due to the participant's ET diagnosis.
• •7. Is unwilling or unable to refrain from use of any sleep aids (eg, eszopiclone, zaleplon and zolpidem) or anxiolytics that are known to be mediated by GABAergic mechanisms (eg, benzodiazepines) within 24 hours prior to any clinic visit. (Exception: Stable use (at least 28 days prior to Screening) of up to 2 ET non-tremor active, non-GABAergic antidepressants and anxiolytics is allowed during the clinical trial after discussion with the medical monitor and/or sponsor designee.) (Note for Part B only: Participants should avoid using sleep aids and anxiolytics that are known to be mediated by GABAergic mechanisms in Part B.)
• •8. Is unwilling or unable to refrain from alcohol 24 hours before and during clinical trial visits, or regular consumption of more than 2 standard alcohol-containing beverages per day for males or more than 1 standard alcohol-containing beverages per day for females and are unwilling to reduce consumption to the appropriate level during the Screening period and maintain this level throughout the Intervention and Follow-up Periods.
• •9. Has a history of substance use disorder consistent with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-5 criteria in the opinion of the Investigator.
• •10. Has a lifetime history of seizures, including febrile seizures.
• •11. Is required to take any excluded medication listed in the protocol during the clinical trial. Chronic medication must be stable for at least 4 weeks prior to Screening. Any new non-urgent medications started during the trial and permitted in protocol should be discussed with the Sponsor before initiation, as practicable.
