Ulixacaltamide is an investigational new drug developed by Praxis Precision Medicines, designed to treat essential tremor,^[1] a common neurological disorder characterized by involuntary rhythmic shaking. It functions as a selective inhibitor of T-type calcium channels, which are implicated in the abnormal neuronal activity associated with tremor.^[2] The drug is currently undergoing Phase 3 clinical trials.^[3]
