New hope for controlling rare childhood epilepsy

NCT ID NCT04873869

Summary

This study tested whether adding a new drug called NBI-921352 to a patient's current seizure medications could help reduce seizure frequency in children and young adults with a rare genetic epilepsy called SCN8A-DEE. It was a Phase 2 trial that compared the drug to a placebo (inactive substance) in a small group of participants. The main goal was to see if the drug was safe and effective at lowering the number of countable motor seizures over a 16-week treatment period.
