NCT06924827
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the best way to switch children with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) or Dravet Syndrome (DS) taking 'artisanal' (non pharmaceutical-grade) cannabidiol (CBD) to Epidiolex for treatment of seizures. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How well does a gradual switch from 'artisanal' CBD to Epidiolex work? * Does the same dose of Epidiolex as 'artisanal' CBD work best? * What side-effects or medical problems do participants have when switching from 'artisanal' CBD to Epidiolex? Researchers will examine how successful switching from 'artisanal' CBD to Epidiolex is. Participants will: * Gradually increase their dose of Epidiolex and reduce their dose of 'artisanal' CBD until they are taking just Epidiolex * Visit the clinic five times over 20 weeks for checkups and tests * Keep a diary of their seizures, symptoms and the number of times they use a rescue seizure medication
NCT05419492
ENDEAVOR is a Phase 1/2, 2-part, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ETX101 in participants with SCN1A-positive Dravet syndrome aged ≥6 to \<36 months (Part 1A), aged ≥48 months to \<18 years (Part 1B), and aged ≥6 to \<48 months (Part 2). Part 1A follows an open-label, dose-escalation design, Part 1B follows an open-label design, and Part 2 is a randomized, double-blind, sham delayed-treatment control study.
NCT03936777
This is an international, multicenter, open-label, long-term safety study of ZX008 in subjects with Dravet syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or epileptic encephalopathy
NCT07176832
This is a Phase I, open-label, randomized, single-center, two-way cross-over study evaluating the relative bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, safety, and palatability of two formulations of stiripentol (Diacomit®), indicated in Dravet syndrome. The investigational products are 500 mg capsules (reference) and a 50 mg/mL oral suspension (test). The primary objective is to compare the relative bioavailability of the two formulations after a single 1,000 mg oral dose under fed conditions, based on Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞. Secondary objectives include other PK parameters (tmax, tlag, ke, t1/2) and characterization of metabolites MIa and MIb. Palatability of the suspension will be assessed by questionnaire. Safety evaluation will include adverse events, laboratory tests, ECGs, urinalysis, drug and alcohol screening, serology, and vital signs. Twenty-four healthy volunteers (18-50 years) will be enrolled. Eligibility: BMI 18-30 kg/m², weight ≥50 kg, normal ECG and labs, and informed consent. Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception and test negative for pregnancy. Exclusions: significant disease, recent surgery or blood donation, hypersensitivity, difficulty swallowing, use of CYP modulators (e.g., carbamazepine, grapefruit, herbal products), drug or alcohol abuse, smoking \>5 cigarettes/day, or inability to follow dietary restrictions. Subjects testing positive for HIV, HBV, HCV, or drugs of abuse will also be excluded. Each participant will attend a screening visit within 28 days before dosing, then two 3-day hospitalizations separated by a 7-15-day washout. On Day 1 of each period, they will receive either two capsules (1,000 mg) or 20 mL suspension (1,000 mg). Blood will be collected at 36 timepoints (≈180 mL total) for PK assessment. The total study duration per subject is about seven weeks, including screening, hospitalization, dosing, washout, and follow-up. Treatment consists of one dosing day per period. Sample size was based on prior data: 21 pairs provide 80% power for bioequivalence within 0.80-1.25 bounds; 24 subjects will be recruited to account for dropouts. Analyses will include the Safety Set, PK Concentrations Set, and PK Analysis Set. This trial aims to establish whether the oral suspension provides a PK profile comparable to capsules, while generating safety, tolerability, and palatability data to support a more convenient formulation for Dravet syndrome patients.
NCT04462770
This is a multicenter, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of clemizole hydrochloride (EPX-100) as adjunctive therapy in children and adult participants with Dravet syndrome (DS).
NCT05982717
The main aims of this study are to gather information about how many children, teenagers and adults in Spain have been diagnosed with Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome as well as to learn about the number of new Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome cases in persons in Spain. Participants' data will be taken from their medical records (charts), which were already collected as a part of their routine care in public hospitals in Spain between 01 January 2021 and 31 December 2022.
NCT06149663
This is an intermediate-size expanded access program (EAP) study. The purpose of this EAP is to provide continued access to LP352, an investigational drug product being investigated in participants with DEEs. The EAP study will allow continued treatment with LP352 for eligible participants diagnosed with treatment resistant DEEs who successfully completed an LP352 Clinical Trial (Enrollment by Invitation) or an immediate family member who has the exact same gene mutation resulting in the same DEE epilepsy syndrome phenotype or a patient who previously participated in the lorcaserin EAP.
NCT06598449
Dravet syndrome is a genetic epilepsy associated with pathogenic variants in SCN1A that codes for Nav1.1, a protein necessary for sodium channels. Children with Dravet syndrome classically present in the first year of life with prolonged seizures, often hemiclonic and in the setting of fever or temperature changes such as getting in or out of bath water. Many anti-seizure medications are sodium channel blockers and exacerbate seizures in this patient population. This creates some limitations in medication choices for this patient population. Recently fenfluramine was approved for use in Dravet syndrome for people 2 years and older. Randomized studies demonstrated a 74.9% reduction of convulsive motor seizures compared to 19.2% in the placebo group. Additionally, 16% of children treated with fenfluramine were seizure free. Fenfluramine is likely to be as effective in children under the age of 2 years. The current study has proposed a treatment protocol to allow access to fenfluramine for children under 24 months of age.
NCT03299842
This is an exploratory sub-study to ZX008-1503 \[NCT02823145\]. Subjects will be fitted with an Embrace seizure detection watch and seizures detected by the watch will be compared to those entered into an electronic seizure diary.
NCT03780127
The treatment plan for this Expanded Access Protocol is for patients with Dravet syndrome who do not qualify for participation in one of the ongoing ZX008 clinical trials.
NCT04537832
This is a multicenter, prospective, 2-year observational study in infants and children with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs). The DEE currently being investigated is SCN1A-positive Dravet Syndrome.
NCT03857451
Dravet syndrome is a severe infantile onset epilepsy syndrome with a prevalence of 1/15.000 to 1/30.000. An infant with an apparently normal development presents around 6 months of age with a convulsive status epilepticus. Seizures can be triggered by fever, illness or vaccination. Because of its drug-resistance, in the past, most attention has been paid to seizure control. However, developmental and behavioural problems also become a serious concern during the second year of life. Outcome is poor, with intellectual disability and ongoing seizures. On the long term, the deterioration in gait is very characteristic. A crouch gait pattern develops that largely impacts the daily life functioning. Most children maintain the ability to walk around the house, but for longer distances they must rely on wheelchair use, which further negatively affects their mobility. Gait analysis, when combined with physical examination, provides quantitative information to guide treatment of gait disorders and assess its outcome. The goal of this project is the development of a clinical decision framework based upon 3D gait analysis to diagnose and treat mobility problems in children with Dravet syndrome. Two major university hospitals in Flanders (UZA and UZ Leuven) are partners in this project. The parent organisation "Stichting Dravetsyndroom Nederland/Vlaanderen" will also participate, as intermediate partner to facilitate contacts between all parties being patients and their caregivers, clinical gait labs and treating physicians.
NCT01607073
This study will assess how well the drug verapamil can improve control of seizures and dysautonomia symptoms in children and young adults diagnosed with Dravet syndrome. The safety of verapamil when given with all concomitant medications will also be assessed.
