E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
- To assess the efficacy of soticlestat in reducing convulsive seizure frequency as add-on therapy to SOC as compared with placebo during the full treatment period (titration + maintenance).
For European Medicines Agency (EMA) registration: - To assess the efficacy of soticlestat in reducing convulsive seizure frequency as add-on therapy to SOC compared with placebo during the maintenance period only. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess the following in subjects taking soticlestat as compared with placebo during the full treatment period, unless otherwise noted: - Proportion of treatment responders defined as those with ≥50% reduction in convulsive seizures from baseline during the maintenance period and the full treatment period. - Effect on total seizure frequency of all seizure types during the maintenance period and the full treatment period. - Change from baseline in proportion of convulsive seizure-free days. - Longest convulsive seizure-free interval. - Number of days when rescue antiseizure medications (ASMs) are used. - Effect on the Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) (clinician) and Caregiver Global Impression of Improvement (Care GI-I). - Effect on CGI-I Seizure Intensity and Duration. - Effect on the CGI-I Nonseizure Symptoms completed by clinician with input from the caregivers. - Effect on Quality of Life Inventory-Disability (QI-Disability). |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Has documented clinical diagnosis of DS. 2. Had ≥12 convulsive seizures over 12 weeks before screening based on the historical information and has had ≥4 convulsive seizures per 28 days during the 4- to 6-week prospective baseline period. 3. Weighs ≥10 kg at the screening visit (Visit 1). 4. Failure to control seizures despite appropriate trials of at least 1 ASM based on historical information and is currently on an antiseizure therapy or other treatment options considered as SOC. 5. Artisanal cannabidiols are allowed at a stable dose for at least 4 weeks before the screening visit (Visit 1); the dosing regimen and manufacturer should remain constant throughout the study (Artisanal cannabidiols will not be counted as ASMs.). 6. Currently taking 0 to 4 ASMs at stable doses for at least 4 weeks before the screening visit (Visit 1); benzodiazepines used chronically (daily) to treat seizures are considered ASMs. Fenfluramine and cannabidiol (Epidiolex) are allowed where available and should be counted as an ASM. ASM dosing regimen must remain constant throughout the study.

|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Unstable, clinically significant neurologic (other than the disease being studied), psychiatric, cardiovascular, ophthalmologic, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, metabolic, gastrointestinal, urologic, immunologic, hematopoietic, endocrine disease, malignancy including progressive tumors, or other abnormality that may impact the ability to participate in the study or that may potentially confound the study results. It is the responsibility of the investigator to assess the clinical significance; however, consultation with the medical monitor may be warranted. |
