Brief Summary:

The main aim of the study is to learn if soticlestat, when given as an add-on therapy, reduces the number of convulsive seizures in children and young adults with Dravet Syndrome.

Participants will receive their standard anti-seizure therapy, plus either a tablet of soticlestat or placebo for 16 weeks. A placebo looks just like soticlestat but will not have any medicine in it.

Participants may continue treatment in an extension study, based on the extension study's entry criteria. Those that want to stop treatment will have a gradual dose reduction during 1 week and then be followed up for 2 weeks.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Dravet Syndrome (DS) Drug: Soticlestat Drug: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:

The drug being tested in this study is called soticlestat (TAK-935). Soticlestat as an adjunctive therapy will be assessed for efficacy, safety, and tolerability in pediatric and adult participants with Dravet Syndrome (DS).

The study will enroll approximately 142 pediatric and young adult patients. Participants will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio to receive standard of care (SOC) plus one of the following adjunctive therapies:

  • Soticlestat or
  • Placebo

The total daily dose of study drug will be calculated based on body weight in the 4 weeks Titration Period. Following the Titration Period, participants will continue to receive the same dose in the Maintenance Period. The dose will then be down-tapered.

This multi-center trial will be conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in the study will be from 22-25 weeks. Participants may have an option to either enter or to discontinue Open-label Extension (OLE). If participants discontinue, they will be followed-up for safety.

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. Percent Change From Baseline in Convulsive Seizure Frequency per 28 days During the Full Treatment Period [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 16 ]
    Convulsive seizure frequency per 28 days is defined as total number of convulsive seizures reported during the period divided by number of days during the period seizures were assessed multiplied by 28. Percent change from Baseline will be defined as (frequency of seizures per 28 days during Treatment Period - frequency of seizures per 28 days at Baseline) divided by the frequency of seizures per 28 days at Baseline multiplied by 100.

    Convulsive seizure frequency per 28 days is defined as total number of convulsive seizures reported during the period divided by number of days during the period seizures were assessed multiplied by 28. Percent change from Baseline will be defined as (frequency of seizures per 28 days during Maintenance Period - frequency of seizures per 28 days at Baseline) divided by the frequency of seizures per 28 days at Baseline multiplied by 100. This outcome measure is European Medicines Agency (EMA) specific.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Responders During Maintenance Period [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 16 ]

  3. Percent Change From Baseline in Frequency of all Seizures per 28 Days During the Maintenance Period [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 16 ]
    Seizure frequency per 28 days is defined as total number of seizures reported during the period divided by number of days during the period seizures were assessed multiplied by 28. Percent change from Baseline is defined as (frequency of seizures per 28 days during Maintenance Period - frequency of seizures per 28 days at Baseline) divided by the frequency of seizures per 28 days at Baseline multiplied by 100.

  4. Percent Change From Baseline in Frequency of all Seizures per 28 Days During the Full Treatment Period [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 16 ]
    Seizure frequency per 28 days is defined as total number of seizures reported during the period divided by number of days during the period seizures were assessed multiplied by 28. Percent change from Baseline is defined as (frequency of seizures per 28 days during Treatment Period - frequency of seizures per 28 days at Baseline) divided by the frequency of seizures per 28 days at Baseline multiplied by 100.

  5. Percent Change From Baseline in Convulsive Seizure Frequency per 28 days During the Maintenance Period [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 16 ]
    Convulsive seizure frequency per 28 days is defined as total number of convulsive seizures reported during the period divided by number of days during the period seizures were assessed multiplied by 28. Percent change from Baseline is defined as (frequency of seizures per 28 days during Maintenance Period - frequency of seizures per 28 days at Baseline) divided by frequency of seizures per 28 days at Baseline multiplied by 100.

  6. Percentage of Participants with ≤0%, >0% to ≤25%, >25% to ≤50%, >50% to ≤75%, and >75% to ≤100% Reduction in Convulsive Seizures in a Cumulative Response Curve [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 16 ]
  7. Change from Baseline in Percentage of Convulsive Seizure-free Days [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 16 ]
    Convulsive seizure-free days will be defined as number of days a participant remained convulsive seizure free after initiation of the treatment.

  8. Longest Convulsive Seizure-free Interval. [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 16 ]
    Longest convulsive seizure-free interval will be defined as the longest time period that the participant remained convulsive seizure free after initiation of the treatment.

  9. Number of Days When Rescue Antiseizure Medication (ASM) is Used [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 16 ]
  10. Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) Score [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 16 ]
    The CGI-I Clinician is a 7-point Likert scale that the investigator uses to rate a participant's change (improvement) in overall seizure control, behavior, safety and tolerability, after the initiation of study drug relative to Baseline (before treatment with study drug). The participant will be rated as follows: 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (much worse), and 7 (very much worse). Higher score will indicate worse symptoms.

  11. Caregiver Global Impression of Improvement (Care GI-I) Score [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 16 ]
    The Care GI-I is a 7-point Likert scale that the caregiver uses to rate improvement in overall seizure control, behavior, safety and tolerability after the initiation of study drug relative to Baseline (before treatment with study drug). The participant will be rated as follows: 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (much worse), and 7 (very much worse). The parent/caregiver will complete the Care GI-I via interview. Higher score will indicate worse symptoms.

  12. CGI-I Seizure Intensity and Duration Score [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 16 ]
    The CGI-I seizure Intensity and duration instrument is used by the parent/caregiver to rate improvement in intensity and duration of convulsive seizures from the first assessment. The participant's symptoms will be rated on 7-point scale as follows: 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (much worse), and 7 (very much worse). Higher score will indicate worse symptoms.

  13. CGI-I Nonseizure Symptoms Score [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 16 ]
    The CGI-I nonseizure symptoms instrument is a series of single-item assessments that the investigator uses to rate improvement in the symptoms and impacts in select nonseizure domains since initiating the study drug. The participant will be rated on 7-point scale by the investigator as follows: 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (much worse), and 7 (very much worse). At baseline, a symptoms form is completed by the clinician in collaboration with the primary caregiver to assess the participants status based on the presence of any nonseizure symptoms. Higher score will indicate worse symptoms.

  14. Change in Quality of Life Inventory-Disability (QI-Disability) Score [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 16 ]
    The QI-Disability tool is a parent/caregiver-reported questionnaire that evaluates quality of life in children with intellectual disabilities. It contains 32 items covering 6 domains of quality of life: physical health, positive emotions, negative emotions, social interaction, leisure and the outdoors, and independence. Scores are from a 5-point Likert scale and then are transformed to a scale of 0 to 100. Possible scores range from 0-100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.
