From Ovid Therapeutics Inc.'s Latest SEC 10-K Filing (filed 2026-03-18)
Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)
- Approximately 50 million people globally live with epilepsy, including an estimated three million adults and half a million children in the United States.
- Today, we are one of the few companies that has researched and developed three distinct MoAs to target seizures and we believe we are the only company that holds a portfolio of direct activators of KCC2.
- Our commercial success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain proprietary protection for our current and future drug candidates, novel discoveries, product development technologies and know-how, to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others, and to prevent others from infringing upon our proprietary rights.
- We also rely on trademarks, trade secrets, copyright protection, know-how, continuing technological innovation and potential in-licensing opportunities to develop and maintain our proprietary position.
Partnerships
- We also entered into a collaboration agreement with Gensaic (the "Gensaic Collaboration Agreement") to potentially develop up to three genetic medicines for neurological indications of interest to us, harnessing Gensaic's proprietary tissue-selective intracellular delivery platform.
- In March 2022, we entered into an exclusive patent license agreement with Marinus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Marinus") ("Marinus License Agreement").
Legal & Regulatory Risks (Item 1A, quoted)
- Our relationships with customers, physicians, and third-party payors may be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse laws, false claims laws, health information privacy and security laws, and other healthcare laws and regulations. If we are unable to comply, or have not fully complied, with such laws, we could face substantial penalties.
- We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative or judicial action in the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction.
- We may not be able to obtain or maintain orphan drug designations or exclusivity for our drug candidates, which could limit the potential profitability of our drug candidates.
- Regulatory authorities in some jurisdictions, including the United States, may designate drugs for relatively small patient populations as orphan drugs.
