NCT ID NCT06112275

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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a gene therapy called ETX101 in 4 children with Dravet syndrome, a severe seizure disorder caused by a gene change. The therapy uses a harmless virus to deliver a working copy of the gene to brain cells. The main goals are to see if it is safe and if it reduces seizures over 52 weeks.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Participant must have a predicted loss of function pathogenic or likely pathogenic SCN1A variant. * Participant must have experienced their first seizure between the ages of 3 and 15 months. * Participant must have a clinical diagnosis of Dravet syndrome or the treating clinician must have a high clinical suspicion of a diagnosis of Dravet syndrome. * Participant is receiving at least one prophylactic antiseizure medication. Exclusion Criteria: * Participant has another genetic mutation or clinical comorbidity which could potentially confound the typical Dravet phenotype. * Participant has a known central nervous system structural and/or vascular abnormality (indicated by an MRI or CT scan of the brain). * Participant has an abnormality that may interfere with CSF distribution and/or has an existing ventriculoperitoneal shunt. * Participant is currently taking or has taken antiseizure medications (ASMs) at a therapeutic dose that are contraindicated in Dravet syndrome, including sodium channel blockers. * Participant has experienced seizure freedom for a period of 4 consecutive weeks within the 6-month period prior to informed consent. * Participant has previously received gene or cell therapy. * Participant is currently enrolled in a clinical trial or receiving an investigational therapy. * Participant has clinically significant underlying liver disease.
