Brief Summary:
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a single dose of ZX008 (Fenfluramine Hydrochloride) when added to standard of care and when added to Adjunctive Antiepleptic therapy to Stiripentol treatment in children and young adults with Dravet Syndrome
| Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Dravet Syndrome | Drug: ZX008 - 0.2 mg/kg/day Drug: ZX008 - 0.4 mg/kg/day Drug: ZX008 - 20 mg/day maximum dose Drug: Matching Placebo | Phase 3 |
This is a multicenter, two-cohort trial to assess the pharmacokinetic and safety profile of a single dose of ZX008 (fenfluramine hydrochloride) oral solution when added to Dravet syndrome treatment regimen containing VPA and CLB, with or without STP (Cohort 1), followed by a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group evaluation of the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ZX008 as adjunctive therapy for seizures in children and young adults with Dravet syndrome (Cohort 2). Cohort 2 will not be dosed until the PK and safety data from Cohort 1 have been collected and evaluated. The PK and safety data from Cohort 1 will determine the dose of ZX008 to be used in Cohort 2.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Change from baseline in frequency of convulsive seizures in subjects receiving ZX008 0.2 mg/kg/day as adjunctive therapy compared to placebo [ Time Frame: Time between 6-week baseline assessment period and 12 week treatment and maintenance period ]Parent/caregiver seizure diary record will be used to assess frequency, type and duration of seizure activity
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Change from baseline in frequency of convulsive seizures in subjects receiving ZX008 0.4 mg/kg/day as adjunctive therapy compared to placebo [ Time Frame: Time between 6-week baseline assessment period and 12 week treatment and maintenance period ]Parent/caregiver seizure diary record will be used to assess frequency, type and duration of seizure activity
- Proportion of subjects achieving a ≥40% or ≥50% reduction from baseline in convulsive seizure frequency and longest seizure-free interval in subjects receiving ZX008 0.2 and 0.4 mg/kg/day as adjunctive therapy compared to placebo [ Time Frame: Time between 6-week baseline assessment period and combined 12 week treatment and maintenance period ]Parent/caregiver seizure diary record will be used to assess frequency, type and duration of seizure activity
Other Outcome Measures:
- Safety and tolerability of ZX008 0.2 and 0.4 mg/kg/day as adjunctive therapy compared to placebo [ Time Frame: Week 1 through Week 12 ]Safety and tolerability evaluated by reported adverse events, laboratory parameters, physical and neurological examination, vital signs, electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, and body weight. (Cognitive function will be assessed using age-appropriate versions of the Brief Rating Inventory of Executive Function [BRIEF].)
