Study summary

ENDEAVOR is a Phase 1/2, 2-part, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ETX101 in participants with SCN1A-positive Dravet syndrome aged ≥6 to \<36 months (Part 1A), aged ≥48 months to \<18 years (Part 1B), and aged ≥6 to \<48 months (Part 2).

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Participant must be aged between ≥6 months and \<36 months in Part 1A, ≥48 months and \<18 years in Part 1B, ≥6 months and \<48 months in Part 2.
  • 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 1 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

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 has received sodium channel blockers during the Pre-Dosing Seizure Period.
  • Participant has experienced seizure freedom for a period of 4 consecutive weeks within the 90-day period prior to .
  • Participant has previously received gene or cell therapy.
  • Participant is currently enrolled in a clinical trial or receiving an therapy.
  • Participant has underlying liver disease.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Part 1 (US Only)

    Part 1A will follow an open-label, rule-based, dose-escalation design and will evaluate up to 4 dose levels of ETX101. Part 1B will follow an open-label design and will evaluate 1 dose level of ETX101.

    Drug: ETX101

  • Sham comparator
    Part 2

    Part 2 will follow a double-blind (up through Week 52), randomized, sham delayed-treatment control design. There will be 2 cohorts in Part 2. A single dose level of ETX101 will be evaluated in Part 2 and participants will be randomized 2:1 to study treatment or sham procedure with delayed treatment.

    Drug: ETX101

Interventions

  • DrugETX101

    ETX101 is a non-replicating, recombinant adeno-associated viral vector serotype 9 (rAAV9) comprising a GABAergic regulatory element (reGABA) and an engineered transcription factor that increases transcription of the SCN1A gene (eTFSCN1A). ETX101 is intended as a one-time intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percent change in monthly countable seizure frequency (MCSF) between the Pre-Dosing Seizure Period and the Post-Dosing Assessment Period.

    Time frame: Between the Pre-Dosing Seizure Period and the Post-Dosing Assessment Period (defined as Week 5 to Week 52).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change from Baseline in Bayley-4 cognitive subdomain raw score at Week 52 (Key Secondary Endpoint for Part 2).

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 52.

  2. Change from Baseline in Vineland-3 subdomain GSVs at Week 52.

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 52.

  3. Change from Baseline in Bayley-4 subdomain GSVs at Week 52.

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 52.

  4. Proportion of participants achieving ≥ 75% reduction in MCSF between the Pre-Dosing Seizure Period and the Post-Dosing Assessment Period.

    Time frame: Between the Pre-Dosing Seizure Period and the Post-Dosing Assessment Period (defined as Week 5 to Week 52).

  5. Proportion of participants achieving ≥ 50% reduction in MCSF between the Pre-Dosing Seizure Period and the Post-Dosing Assessment Period.

    Time frame: Between the Pre-Dosing Seizure Period and the Post-Dosing Assessment Period (defined as Week 5 to Week 52).

  6. Change from Baseline in the Vineland-3 Adaptive Behavior Composite standard score at Week 52.

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 52.

  7. Change from Baseline in Vineland-3 subdomain raw scores at Week 52.

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 52.

  8. Change from Baseline in Bayley-4 subdomain raw scores (excluding cognitive subdomain) at Week 52.

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 52.

  9. Proportion of CGI-I responders, defined as participants with a CGI-I score of 1 (Very much improved) or 2 (Much improved), at Week 52.

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 52.

  10. Proportion of CGI-S responders, defined as participants who either have a CGI-S score of 1 (Normal, not at all ill) or demonstrate a ≥2 point improvement from Baseline, at Week 52.

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 52.

Other outcomes

  1. Safety Endpoint: Proportions of participants experiencing any treatment-emergent DLTs (for Part 1A only), AEs, serious adverse events (SAEs), related AEs, AEs with severity Grade ≥ 3, AEs resulting in study discontinuation, and AEs resulting in death.

    Time frame: From Day 1 through Study Completion.

  2. Safety Endpoint: Proportion of participants experiencing SAEs leading to hospitalization.

    Time frame: From Day 1 through Study Completion.

Started May 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2028, 49 months after the start.

Since we started tracking on Sep 25, 2026, the dates moved once, on Oct 23, 2026: primary completion Jan 2028 → Jun 2028 and completion Jan 2033 → Jun 2034.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
