What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This phase 3 study is testing the long-term safety and effectiveness of LP352 (Bexicaserin) in 324 children and adults with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE), including Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut syndromes. Participants who completed earlier studies will receive LP352 orally or via feeding tube for about 14 months. The main goal is to track side effects, while also measuring changes in seizure frequency.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
LP352 (Bexicaserin)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a long-term treatment option to reduce seizure frequency in people with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy.
What could go wrong
This is an open-label study without a placebo, so results may be less reliable. Side effects and lack of efficacy are possible, and the study only includes people who completed earlier trials.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * The participant has satisfactorily completed Study LP352-301 or LP352-302 Visit 8, and who, in the opinion of the investigator, may benefit from continued LP352 administration. * Diagnosis of DEE that includes Dravet Syndrome (DS), Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS), or DEE Other (as defined and evaluated in Study LP352-301 or LP352-302). * Participant has a body weight of ≥10 kg. * G-tubes/PEG tubes (if applicable) should be in stable and good working condition. Nasogastric tubes are not allowed except for short-term management. * Has at least one reliable and consistent parent, legal guardian, or caregiver during the study. * The participant must be willing and able to provide written informed consent; in instances where the participant is unable to provide consent, an appropriate LAR must provide informed consent and the participant will need to assent (as per local regulations) before participation in the study. If the participant cannot provide consent or assent (ie, due to developmental status), the investigator should document why it was not obtained. * The participant and/or authorized representative is willing to provide written consent or assent to allow the investigator and the investigator's staff to consult with the participant's medical caregivers and the medical monitor during Screening and during participation in the study. * All participants of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy (human chorionic gonadotropin) test at Visit 8 from Study LP352-301 or LP352-302 and agrees to routinely use an acceptable effective method of contraception from the time of signing informed consent up to 48 hours after the last dose of study drug. * Participant and/or participant's caregiver(s) agree to not post any participant's personal medical data related to the study or information related to the study on any website or social media site until the study has been completed. * The participant, parent, or caregiver is willing and able (in the judgment of the investigator) to comply with completion of the diaries throughout the study. Exclusion Criteria: * The participant is receiving exclusionary medications. * Considered at risk of suicidal behavior based on the C-SSRS at Visit 8 of LP352-301 or LP352-302. If the participant is unable to complete the C-SSRS due to developmental status, the participant's LAR may not complete the C-SSRS. In these cases, the investigator may use clinical judgment to assess both the participant's status regarding suicidality and the ability to complete the scale, both of which must then be documented in the source document. * Has a PHQ-9 score of \>9 or a positive response to Question 9 at Visit 8 of LP352-301 or LP352-302. If the participant is unable to complete the PHQ-9, the participant's LAR may not complete the PHQ-9. In these cases, the investigator may use clinical judgment to assess both the participant's status and ability to complete the scale, both of which must then be documented in the source document. * Ongoing AE from LP352-301 or LP352-302 of severe depression, anorexia nervosa, or bulimia per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. * Has an abnormal and clinically significant 12-lead ECG at Visit 8 in LP352-301 or LP352-302 in the opinion of the investigator, for example, second- or third-degree heart block or a QTc of \>450 msec for adult males, \>470 msec for adult females, or \>440 msec for pediatric participants. * Ongoing AE in LP352-301 or LP352-302 of alcohol, opioid, or other drug use disorder, as per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. * Current use of any cannabis product or cannabidiol that is not in oral solution/capsule/tablet form, not obtained from a government-approved dispensary, or containing ≥50% THC. Cannabis product or cannabidiol should be used primarily to treat seizures and dose should not be adjusted for the duration of the study. Cannabis product or cannabidiol will count as a concurrent ASM. * Has a positive result on the urine drug screen at Visit 8 of LP352-301 or LP352-302, except for positive results related to prescribed controlled medications (eg, benzodiazepine) or Epidiolex®/government-approved cannabis product/cannabidiol used to treat seizures (eg, tetrahydrocannabinol). * Unstable, clinically significant neurologic (other than the disease being studied, eg, recurrent strokes), psychiatric, cardiovascular (eg, pulmonary arterial hypertension, cardiac valvulopathy, orthostatic hypotension/tachycardia) pulmonary, hepatic (severe hepatic impairment), renal (severe renal impairment), metabolic, gastrointestinal, urologic, immunologic, hematopoietic, or endocrine disease or other abnormality at Visit 8 of LP352-301 or LP352-302 which may impact the ability of the participant to participate or potentially confound the study results. * Is pregnant, breast-feeding, or intending to become pregnant during or within 48 hours after the last dose of study drug; or intending to donate ova during such time period. * Has a known hypersensitivity to any component of LP352 formulation or any history of serious drug-induced hypersensitivity, eg, toxic epidermal necrolysis or Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms. * Unwilling to abstain from donation of blood during and within 2 weeks after the study. * Is unable or unwilling to comply with any of the study requirements or timelines.
