Brief Summary:
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of ZX008 (fenfluramine hydrochloride) when added to adjunctive antiepileptic stiripentol treatment in children and young adults with Dravet syndrome.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Dravet Syndrome Drug: ZX008 (Fenfluramine Hydrochloride) Drug: Matching Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:
This is a multicenter, 2-cohort trial to first assess the pharmacokinetic and safety profile of a single dose of ZX008 (fenfluramine hydrochloride) oral solution when added to a standard Dravet syndrome treatment regimen containing valproate (VPA) and clobazam (CLB), with or without stiripentol (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).

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Cohort 2: ZX008 0.5 mg/kg/day
ZX008 0.5 mg/kg/day (maximum 20 mg/day) dose supplied as an oral solution administered twice a day (BID) in equally divided doses with food.
 Drug: ZX008 (Fenfluramine Hydrochloride)

ZX008 0.5 mg/kg/day (maximum 20 mg/day). ZX008 drug product is an oral aqueous solution of fenfluramine hydrochloride buffered to pH 5 and provided in concentrations of 2.5 mg/mL.

*Note: The 0.5 mg/kg/day dose of ZX008 fenfluramine hydrochloride in this study is equivalent to 0.4 mg/kg/day (maximum 17 mg/day) dose of fenfluramine base.
Placebo Comparator: Cohort 2: Matching Placebo
Matching placebo administered twice a day (BID) in equally divided doses with food.
 Drug: Matching Placebo
Matching Placebo


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in Convulsive Seizure Frequency (CSF) From the Baseline Period (Baseline) to the Combined Titration + Maintenance (T+M) Period [ Time Frame: 15 weeks (combined Titration + Maintenance Period) ]
    Monthly (28 day) convulsive seizure frequency (CSF) was based on electronic diary data obtained for each participant. Convulsive seizures included hemiclonic, focal with clear observable motor signs, generalized tonic clonic, secondarily generalized tonic clonic, tonic, clonic, and drop seizures (tonic/atonic). The number of convulsive seizures reported during the entire time interval was divided by the number of nonmissing diary days and the result was then multiplied by 28 to get a 28-day CSF.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved ≥ a 50% Reduction in Convulsive Seizure Frequency From Baseline to the Combined Titration + Maintenance Period [ Time Frame: 15 weeks (combined Titration + Maintenance Period) ]
    Percentage of participants who achieved ≥ a 50% reduction in convulsive seizure frequency from Baseline compared to the combined Titration + Maintenance Periods in the ZX008 0.5 mg/kg/day vs placebo groups.

  2. Longest Convulsive Seizure-Free Interval (Days) [ Time Frame: 15 weeks (combined Titration + Maintenance Period) ]
    Comparison of the duration of the longest convulsive seizure-free interval (days) during the combined Titration + Maintenance Periods for the ZX008 0.5 mg/kg/day and placebo groups.

Criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject must be male or non-pregnant, non-lactating female, aged 2 to 18 years (inclusive).
  • Subject must have documented medical history to support a clinical diagnosis of Dravet syndrome, where convulsive seizures are not completely controlled by current antiepileptic drugs.
  • Subject must be receiving a therapeutically relevant and stable dose of stiripentol (STP) plus clobazam (CLB) and/or valproate (VPA), and for at least 4 weeks prior to screening and be expected to remain stable throughout the study (Cohort 2 only).
  • Subject must be receiving a stable dose of CLB and VPA, administered twice daily (BID), to be eligible for Dose Regimen 1 and 2, or subject must be receiving a stable dose of CLB, VPA, and STP, administered BID, to be eligible for Dose Regimen 3 (Cohort 1 only).

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subject has a known hypersensitivity to fenfluramine or any of the excipients in the study medication.
  • Subject has pulmonary arterial hypertension.
  • Subject has a current or past history of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease, such as cardiac valvulopathy, myocardial infarction, or stroke.
  • Subject has a current or recent history of anorexia nervosa, bulimia, or depression within the prior year that required medical treatment or psychological treatment for a duration greater than 1 month.
