@Damocles Hi! IDK exactly. What does it do? When is it expected to start trials and what not?
Damocles
Without going into great detail, XEN1101 is basically an improved version of Retigabine/Trobalt; a discontinued epilepsy medication that some members of TT experimented with back in 2014.

The self-experiments garnered some positive results, but were also, unfortunately, accompanied by many nasty side effects.
Damocles
The idea is that the reformulation of said Retigabine will provide the same positive results, but without the deleterious effects.

As for ETA, the drug has made it to, and is currently in, Phase 3 trials (a good sign), the data for which should be available by 2025/26.

@Damocles Thanks for the info! What kind of side effects were there, do you know?

2025, 2026 seems so far away. Lol.
