Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Serious AEs (SAEs), AEs Leading to Study Drug Discontinuation, and AEs judged to be related to study medication
Up to 104 weeks

Safety and tolerability of BHV-7000 as assessed by frequency of unique subjects with SAEs; AEs leading to discontinuation; AEs judged to be related to study medication

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Laboratory Abnormalities
Up to 104 weeks

To assess the safety and tolerability of BHV-7000. This objective will be measured by assessing the number of unique subjects with grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities.

Number of Participants With Vital Sign Abnormalities
Up to 104 weeks
Number of Participants With Electrocardiogram (ECG) Abnormalities specific to QTc elevation
Up to 104 weeks
Number of Participants With Deaths, Serious AEs (SAEs), AEs Leading to Study Drug Discontinuation, and moderate or severe AEs
Up to 104 weeks

To assess the safety and tolerability of BHV-7000. This objective will be measured by assessing the number of unique subjects with deaths, SAEs, AEs leading to discontinuation, and moderate and severe AEs.

Number of Subjects with Clinically Significant Laboratory Abnormalities
Up to 104 weeks

To assess the safety and tolerability of BHV-7000. This objective will be measured by assessing the number of unique subjects with grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities.

Change in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) total score from baseline to day 21
Baseline (day 1) to day 21

The YMRS is a clinician administered scale that consists of 11 items used to assess the subject's symptoms of mania (total scores range from 0 to 60). The higher the YMRS score, the more severe the subject's symptoms of mania.

Change in Montgomery- Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score from baseline to week 6
Baseline to Week 6

The MADRS is a clinician- rated scale to assess depressive symptoms which consists of 10 items. Each item is scored on 7-point scale (0 \[absence of symptoms\] to 6 \[severe\]). A higher score represents a higher severity of the level of depression (total scores range from 0 to 60).

Change from Baseline in 28-day average seizure frequency
Baseline, Week 8 to Week 16

To compare the efficacy of 75mg of BHV-7000 to placebo as an adjunctive therapy for refractory focal onset epilepsy as measured by the change from OP (observational phase) in 28-day average seizure frequency. The primary objective will be measured by comparing the observation phase (8 weeks) to the 8-week double-blind treatment phase.

Part B: Change from Baseline in 28-day average seizure frequency
Baseline, Week 8 to Week 20 of Part B

To compare the efficacy of each of 2 doses of BHV-7000 to placebo as an adjunctive therapy for refractory focal onset epilepsy as measured by the change from OP (observational phase) in 28-day average seizure frequency. The primary objective will be measured by comparing the observation phase (8 weeks) to the 12-week double-blind treatment phase.

Part A: Number of Participants With Deaths, Serious AEs (SAEs), AEs Leading to Study Drug Discontinuation, and moderate or severe AEs
Week 8 to Week 20 of Part A

To assess the safety and tolerability of BHV-7000. This objective will be measured by assessing the number of unique subjects with deaths, SAEs, AEs leading to discontinuation, and moderate and severe AEs.

Part A: Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Laboratory Abnormalities
Week 8 to Week 20 of Part A

To assess the safety and tolerability of BHV-7000. This objective will be measured by assessing the number of unique subjects with grade 3 and 4 laboratory abnormalities.

Mean of the daily average maximum pain intensity scores collected every 2 hours.
The last 3 weeks of each 4-week crossover treatment period

Participants will be asked to record peak (worst) pain experienced in the previous 2 hours using an 11-point Likert scale (0-10) where 0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain

Secondary Endpoints

Baseline (day 1) to day 21
Percentage of participants showing treatment response
Baseline (day 1) to day 21
Percentage of participants showing treatment remission

Frequently asked questions about BHV-7000

What is BHV-7000 used for?

BHV-7000 is an investigational small molecule being developed for Familial Erythromelalgia, Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Focal Epilepsy. It is currently in Phase 2 clinical development for psychiatric and neurological conditions, with studies conducted in the United States.

What does BHV-7000 target?

BHV-7000 targets the Kv7.2/7.3 potassium channel. This target is involved in regulating neuronal excitability, and modulating it may help in conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, and epilepsy. The drug is designed to act on this channel to potentially stabilize abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

Who makes BHV-7000?

BHV-7000 is being developed by Biohaven Ltd., a biopharmaceutical company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol BHVN. Biohaven is conducting clinical trials for this drug across multiple indications in the United States.

What phase is BHV-7000 in?

BHV-7000 is in Phase 2 clinical development. It has completed Phase 2 trials for bipolar mania and major depressive disorder, and a long-term safety study in MDD. A Phase 1b study is enrolling for Familial Erythromelalgia. It is not yet FDA approved.

What clinical trials is BHV-7000 in?

BHV-7000 has several clinical trials. NCT06419582 is a completed Phase 2 study for bipolar mania. NCT06419608 is a completed Phase 2 monotherapy study for major depression. NCT06423781 is a completed long-term safety study in MDD. NCT07262268 is a Phase 1b study enrolling for inherited erythromelalgia.

Is BHV-7000 the same as other drugs?

BHV-7000 is the primary name used in clinical trials and development. No alternative names have been reported for this drug. It is a distinct investigational compound being studied by Biohaven for multiple psychiatric and neurological conditions.
