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

Detailed Description:
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.

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 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 :
  1. 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

  2. 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:
  1. 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].)
