Cassava Sciences (SAVA) said Thursday it has entered into a license agreement with Yale University for intellectual property rights, including an exclusive US method of treatment patent covering simufilam as a potential treatment for seizures linked to rare neurodevelopmental disorders such as tuberous sclerosis complex.

The licensed patent is based on research and development carried out by a neurosurgery professor at Yale, which showed that Cassava's drug candidate, simufilam, reduced TSC-related seizure frequency in animal models.

Shares of Cassava Sciences were up more than 12% in recent Thursday trading.
