Axovant Sciences Ltd. (NYSE:AXON) Files An 8-K Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events.

On January9, 2018, Axovant issued a press release correcting data related to Axovant’s investigational drug nelotanserin previously reported by Axovant in its January8, 2018 press release. In Axovant’s pilot Phase 2 Visual Hallucination study, the post-hoc subset analysis of patients with a baseline Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms – Parkinson’s Disease score of greater than 8.0 was misreported. The Company correctly reported that nelotanserin treatment at 40 mg for two weeks followed by 80 mg for two weeks resulted in a 1.21 point improvement, but the p-value should have been reported as 0.531, unadjusted, instead of 0.011, unadjusted.

A copy of the press release issued January9, 2018 is filed herewith as Exhibit99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
