Filter by:The main aim of the study is to learn if soticlestat, when given as an add-on therapy, reduces the number of seizures in children and adults with Dravet Syndrome (DS) or Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS). Participants will receive their standard anti-seizure therapy, plus tablets of soticlestat. There will be scheduled visits and follow-up phone calls throughout the study.
This study will monitor for potential chronic liver injury and liver fibrosis, in participants treated with cannabidiol oral solution.
Dravet syndrome (DS) is an epileptic encephalopathy caused by pathogenic variants in the SCN1A gene resulting in medically refractory epilepsy and psychomotor delays. As a pilot study assessing for feasibility, the investigators aim to test whether alterations in cortical excitatory:inhibitory ratio can be reliably recorded. The investigators will utilize transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) metrics of cortical excitatory and inhibitory tone as an initial step towards translating findings from rodent genetic models of DS into disease-specific biomarkers and offer future measures of therapeutic target engagement in this patient population. Participants will complete two visits, each consisting of a TMS session and an EEG session. Visits will be scheduled 4-8 weeks apart.
The clinical trial "A Prospective Single-Center Single-Arm Clinical Trial on Cognitive Effect of Cannabidiol (CBD-OS®) on Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome" is a single-group phase III study done in single tertiary referral center in Seoul, Korea. Chief investigator is Dr. Hoon-Chul Kang of Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine. Associate investigators are Dr. Heung Dong Kim, Joon Soo Lee, Se Hee Kim, Han Som Choi, Ji Hoon Na, Dong Hwa Yang, and Hee Jung Kang, of Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of cannabidiol (CBD-OS®) on cognitive functions in patients aged from 2 to 18 years old diagnosed with Dravet syndrome or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. The duration of study is planned as one year, after patient recruitment of 6 months. The intervention period in each patient is 24 weeks, with 2 weeks of medication titration, stabilization period of 10 weeks, and maintenance period of 12 weeks. The recruitment goal of patient number is 104, considering the study power of 90 percent. Primary outcomes are improvement of cognitive and development and improvement of seizure outcome. Secondary outcomes are improvement in behavior and quality of life. Safety monitoring criteria are adverse event profiles and physician's and caregiver's global assessment. Statistical analysis of outcomes is subject only to the patients who completed the 24-week medication and 2 times of tests before and after treatment of cannabidiol. Evaluation of seizure outcomes would include all patients who completed the 24-week medication and those who dropped out of the study, either by follow-up loss or discontinuation of medication due to incomplete seizure control or adverse effect of the medication. To evaluate safety, the investigators would measure adverse events and dropout rates by percentage. The investigators would analyze overall evaluation of the caregivers and investigator. Serious adverse events would be noted after causality evaluation.
The primary purpose of the study is to demonstrate that lorcaserin has superior efficacy compared to placebo on percent change in frequency of convulsive seizures per 28 days in participants with Dravet syndrome.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of adjunctive GWP42003-P in participants < 2 years of age with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), or Dravet syndrome (DS).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EPX-100 as adjunctive therapy in children and adult participants with Dravet Syndrome.
Doose syndrome is a rare epileptic syndrome that can lead to learning difficulties and a poor quality of life. The goal of this study is to evaluate the evolution of epilepsy and its consequences on cognitive development and learning issues in children with Doose syndrome.
The investigators are collecting genetic information through blood samples as well as clinical and EEG data from over 1000 people with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME) across the UK, Europe and North America. This study will draw on both existing and new samples from JME patients. These will be compared to anonymised data from samples for 2000 controls. The goal of this study is to find the genetic cause of JME. Finding the cause will help create better treatments for JME, as well as improve patient outcomes by allowing us to detect it earlier.
This is a multicenter, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, study to assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of ZX008 when used as adjunctive therapy in pediatric and young adult subjects with Dravet syndrome. Subjects who qualify for the study will be randomized (1:1:1) in a double-blind manner to receive 1 of 2 doses of ZX008 or placebo. All subjects will be titrated to their randomized dose over a 14-day Titration Period. Following titration, subjects will continue treatment at their randomly assigned dose over a 12-week Maintenance Period. Total treatment time from the beginning of the Titration Period through the end of the Maintenance Period is 14 weeks.
