"We believe SAN2668 represents an important opportunity to address the significant unmet needs that remain in severe pediatric epilepsies, where many children continue to experience debilitating seizures despite available treatment options," said Thomas Feldthus, Chief Executive Officer of Saniona. "We are delighted to welcome Dr. Nicola Specchio to discuss the disease landscape and current treatment challenges, while also reviewing the scientific rationale and development strategy supporting SAN2668."
The webinar will feature Nicola Specchio, MD, PhD, Head of the Rare and Complex Epilepsies Unit at Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital, IRCCS, Rome, Italy.
