Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative therapies for people with rare debilitating diseases. Catalyst is developing Firdapse (amifampridine phosphate) for the treatment of Lambert Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), a rare neuromuscular, autoimmune disorder that afflicts about 3,000 people in the U.S. LEMS causes muscle weakness and can be very debilitating and in some cases can be life-threatening.
