Xenon Pharmaceuticals shares drop 30% after pausing depression trial enrollment.

Xenon Pharmaceuticals voluntarily paused new enrollment in its major depressive disorder and bipolar depression trials due to safety events consistent with the drug azetukalner's known profile. These events had not appeared in earlier phase II trials. The pause, made with the safety monitoring board's advice, is expected to be temporary and does not affect ongoing epilepsy studies. Current trial participants will continue in the studies.
