First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This program offers continued access to rufinamide for children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy, who completed a previous study. The goal is to keep providing the medication until it becomes commercially available in Poland. Only children who were already taking rufinamide in the earlier study can join.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- rufinamide
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program ensures children with hard-to-control seizures can keep taking rufinamide without interruption until it is commercially available.
- What could go wrong
- This is an access program, not a new test of effectiveness. It only includes children who already tolerated the drug, so results may not apply to all patients.
