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. Part 1: Change from baseline in frequency of seizures that result in drops in subjects receiving ZX008 compared to placebo [ Time Frame: Up to 20 weeks maintenance and taper period (T+M) ]
    Parent/caregiver seizure diary record will be used to assess frequency, type and duration of seizure activity


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Part 2: Adverse events and related safety parameters in subjects receiving ZX008 compared to placebo [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months open label ]
    Safety and tolerability evaluated by reported adverse events, laboratory parameters, physical and neurological examination, vital signs, electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, and body weight

Criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or non-pregnant, non-lactating female, age 2 to 35 years, inclusive as of the day of the Screening Visit.
  • Clinical diagnosis of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, where seizures that result in drops are not completely controlled by current antiepileptic treatments.
  • Onset of seizures at 11 years of age or younger.
  • Abnormal cognitive development.
  • Must be receiving at least 1 concomitant AED and up to 4 concomitant anti-epileptic treatments.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Etiology of seizures is a degenerative neurological disease.
  • History of hemiclonic seizures in the first year of life.
  • Subject only has drop seizures in clusters, where individual seizures cannot be counted reliably.
  • Pulmonary arterial hypertension.
  • Current or past history of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease, such as cardiac valvulopathy, myocardial infarction or stroke.
  • Receiving concomitant therapy with: centrally-acting anorectic agents; monoamineoxidase inhibitors; any centrally-acting compound with clinically appreciable amount of serotonin agonist or antagonist properties, including serotonin reuptake inhibition; atomoxetine, or other centrally-acting noradrenergic agonist; cyproheptadine.
  • Taking felbamate for less than 1 year prior to screening and/or does not have stable liver function and hematology laboratory tests, and/or the dose has not been stable for at least 60 days prior to the Screening Visit.
  • Currently receiving an investigational product.
  • Institutionalized in a general nursing home (ie, in a facility that does not specialize in epilepsy care).
  • A clinically significant condition, or has had clinically relevant symptoms or a clinically significant illness in the 4 weeks prior to the Screening Visit, other than epilepsy, that would negatively impact study participation, collection of study data, or pose a risk to the subject.
