In July 2012, the FDA had granted Plumiaz Orphan Drug Designation for the management of selected, refractory patients with epilepsy currently on stable regimens of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), who require intermittent use of diazepam to control bouts of increased seizure activity. Acorda submitted a NDA for Plumiaz to the FDA for review in 2014.
