New drug radiprodil tested for tough seizures in two brain conditions
NCT ID NCT06392009
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial tests an experimental drug called radiprodil in 30 people with tuberous sclerosis complex or focal cortical dysplasia type II whose seizures have not responded to at least two other medications. The study is open-label, meaning everyone gets the drug, and will check safety, how the body processes the drug, and whether it reduces seizures and behavioral symptoms over up to one year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- radiprodil
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for hard-to-control seizures in people with TSC or FCD type II.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, small, open-label study with no placebo group, so results may not prove effectiveness. Side effects are still being identified.

Inclusion Criteria: * Failed to respond to at least 2 anti-seizure medications (ASMs) at appropriate dosages and duration * Disease specific criteria: 1. diagnosis of FCD Type II based on clinical symptoms and confirmed by a positive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 2. diagnosis of TSC by either clinical or genetic diagnostic criteria (Northrup, 2021) as documented in the participant's medical record - Participant on average has had at least 8 countable/witnessed primary seizures during a 4-week baseline period with at least 1 seizure occurring in at least 3 of the 4 weeks of baseline * All medical interventions for epilepsy / behavior (including ketogenic diet and any neurostimulation devices) should be stable for 28 days prior to screening with no more than 6 days per month use of rescue medication. Participants must remain on a stable regimen throughout the treatment period * Participant has had an MRI scan within 12 months of the planned date of first dose of study drug Exclusion Criteria: * Any other clinically relevant medical, neurologic, or psychiatric condition and/or behavioral disorder unrelated to TSC or FCD Type II that would preclude or jeopardize participant's safe participation or administration of study drug or the conduct of the study according to the judgement of the investigator. * Clinically significant laboratory or ECG abnormalities. * Severe hepatic dysfunction (Child-Pugh grade C). * History of brain surgery within 6 months of screening for epilepsy or any other reason. * Contraindications to radiprodil or with known hypersensitivity to the active substance or the excipients or other chemically closely related substances. * Receiving treatment with contraindicated concomitant drugs such as agonists or antagonists of the glutamate receptor, including but not limited to felbamate, memantine, and perampanel. * body weight \<10kg for whom a gastric tube is the only possibility for radiprodil dosing.
