Breakthrough drug trial offers hope for kids with devastating genetic epilepsy

NCT ID NCT07019922

Summary

This Phase 3 clinical trial is testing whether a new drug called elsunersen can reduce seizure frequency in children with a rare, severe form of genetic epilepsy called SCN2A developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. The study will enroll 50 pediatric participants who began having seizures before 3 months of age and currently experience at least 4 countable seizures per month. Researchers will compare the drug against a sham procedure to determine if it safely reduces seizures over 24 weeks of treatment.
