Epilepsy

Condition Description

Epilepsy is a central nervous system (neurological) disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations and sometimes loss of awareness.

  • TRIAL TITLE: A Phase 2, Prospective, Interventional, Open-Label, Multisite, Extension Study To Assess the Long-Term Safety and Tolerability of Soticlestat (TAK-935) as Adjunctive Therapy in Subjects With Developmental Epileptic Encephalopathies Including Dravet Syndrome, Lennox Gastaut Syndrome, CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder, and Chromosome 15 Duplication Syndrome.

    DESCRIPTION: This is a multisite, open-label extension (OLE) study designed to obtain additional safety and tolerability data related to soticlestat (also known as TAK-935) administered long-term in subjects with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies who participated in a previous soticlestat clinical study. Additional aims are to explore the long-term effects of soticlestat on seizure frequency and to assess the effects of soticlestat on quality-of-life measures. Participants will receive soticlestat twice a day. Participants will visit the study clinic every 2-6 months throughout the study.

    Study treatments may continue as long as the participant is receiving benefit from it.

  • TRIAL TITLE: A phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double- blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of TAK-935 (OV935) as am adjunctive therapy in pediatric patients with developmental and/or epileptic encephalopathies.

    DESCRIPTION: The main aim is to investigate the effect on the frequency of all seizures (convulsive and drop) in patients treated with TAK-935 as an adjunctive therapy compared to placebo in the maintenance period.
