New hope for controlling devastating seizures in rare genetic disorder

NCT ID NCT05064878

Summary

This study is testing whether adding the medication ZX008 (fenfluramine) to existing treatments can better control seizures in people with CDKL5 deficiency disorder, a rare genetic condition that causes severe epilepsy and developmental delays. The trial involves children and adults aged 1-35 who continue to have frequent seizures despite trying multiple anti-seizure medications. Researchers will measure whether ZX008 reduces seizure frequency compared to a placebo over 20 weeks, followed by a longer open-label extension period.
