Summary

"This trial is testing a new drug called ETX101 in young children with Dravet syndrome caused by a specific gene mutation. The study has two parts: the first part will test different doses of

Who is the study for?
This trial is for infants and children aged 6 to less than 36 months with a confirmed genetic variant linked to Dravet Syndrome. They must have had their first seizure between 3-15 months old, be diagnosed or suspected of having Dravet Syndrome by a clinician, and be on at least one anti-seizure medication.
What is being tested?
The study tests ETX101's safety and effectiveness in young patients with SCN1A-positive Dravet syndrome. It has two parts: the first part increases doses to find safe levels (open-label), and the second part compares ETX101 against a sham treatment without participants knowing which they're getting (double-blind).
What are the potential side effects?
As this is an early phase trial for ETX101, specific side effects are being studied but may include typical drug reactions such as irritation at the injection site, fever, changes in appetite or sleep patterns, and potential interactions with existing medications.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Part 1Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Part 1 will follow an open-label, rule-based, dose-escalation design and will evaluate 3 dose levels of ETX101.
Group II: Part 2Placebo Group1 Intervention
Part 2 is a dose-selection study, which will follow a double-blind (up through Week 52), randomized, sham delayed-treatment control design in approximately 18 participants. There will be up to 3 cohorts in Part 2. Participants will be randomized 1:1:1 to study treatment or sham procedure with delayed treatment. At the conclusion of Part 1, if the recommendation is made to proceed with a single dose level of ETX101 in Part 2, participants will be randomized 1:1 to study treatment or sham procedure with delayed treatment.
