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

  • The participant has satisfactorily completed Study LP352-301 or LP352-302 Visit 8, and who, in the opinion of the investigator, may benefit from continued LP352 administration.
  • Diagnosis of DEE that includes Dravet Syndrome (DS), Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS), or DEE Other (as defined and evaluated in Study LP352-301 or LP352-302).
  • Participant has a body weight of ≥10 kg.
  • G-tubes/PEG tubes (if applicable) should be in stable and good working condition. Nasogastric tubes are not allowed except for short-term management.
  • Has at least one reliable and consistent parent, legal guardian, or caregiver during the study.
  • The participant must be willing and able to provide written ; in instances where the participant is unable to provide consent, an appropriate LAR must provide informed consent and the participant will need to assent (as per local regulations) before participation in the study. If the participant cannot provide consent or assent (ie, due to developmental status), the investigator should document why it was not obtained.
  • The participant and/or authorized representative is willing to provide written consent or assent to allow the investigator and the investigator's staff to consult with the participant's medical caregivers and the medical monitor during Screening and during participation in the study.
  • All participants of must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy (human chorionic gonadotropin) test at Visit 8 from Study LP352-301 or LP352-302 and agrees to routinely use an acceptable effective method of from the time of signing informed consent up to 48 hours after the last dose of study drug.
  • Participant and/or participant's caregiver(s) agree to not post any participant's personal medical data related to the study or information related to the study on any website or social media site until the study has been completed.
  • The participant, parent, or caregiver is willing and able (in the judgment of the investigator) to comply with completion of the diaries throughout the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The participant is receiving exclusionary medications.
  • Considered at risk of suicidal behavior based on the C-SSRS at Visit 8 of LP352-301 or LP352-302. If the participant is unable to complete the C-SSRS due to developmental status, the participant's LAR may not complete the C-SSRS. In these cases, the investigator may use clinical judgment to assess both the participant's status regarding suicidality and the ability to complete the scale, both of which must then be documented in the source document.
  • Has a PHQ-9 score of >9 or a positive response to Question 9 at Visit 8 of LP352-301 or LP352-302. If the participant is unable to complete the PHQ-9, the participant's LAR may not complete the PHQ-9. In these cases, the investigator may use clinical judgment to assess both the participant's status and ability to complete the scale, both of which must then be documented in the source document.
  • Ongoing AE from LP352-301 or LP352-302 of severe depression, anorexia nervosa, or bulimia per the , Fifth Edition.
  • Has an abnormal and 12-lead at Visit 8 in LP352-301 or LP352-302 in the opinion of the investigator, for example, second- or third-degree heart block or a of >450 msec for adult males, >470 msec for adult females, or >440 msec for pediatric participants.
  • Ongoing AE in LP352-301 or LP352-302 of alcohol, opioid, or other drug use disorder, as per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition.
  • Current use of any cannabis product or cannabidiol that is not in oral solution/capsule/tablet form, not obtained from a government-approved dispensary, or containing ≥50% THC. Cannabis product or cannabidiol should be used primarily to treat seizures and dose should not be adjusted for the duration of the study. Cannabis product or cannabidiol will count as a concurrent ASM.
  • Has a positive result on the urine drug screen at Visit 8 of LP352-301 or LP352-302, except for positive results related to prescribed controlled medications (eg, benzodiazepine) or Epidiolex®/government-approved cannabis product/cannabidiol used to treat seizures (eg, tetrahydrocannabinol).
  • Unstable, clinically significant neurologic (other than the disease being studied, eg, recurrent strokes), psychiatric, cardiovascular (eg, pulmonary arterial hypertension, cardiac valvulopathy, orthostatic hypotension/tachycardia) pulmonary, hepatic (severe hepatic impairment), renal (severe renal impairment), metabolic, gastrointestinal, urologic, immunologic, hematopoietic, or endocrine disease or other abnormality at Visit 8 of LP352-301 or LP352-302 which may impact the ability of the participant to participate or potentially confound the study results.
  • Is pregnant, breast-feeding, or intending to become pregnant during or within 48 hours after the last dose of study drug; or intending to donate ova during such time period.
  • Has a known to any component of LP352 formulation or any history of serious drug-induced hypersensitivity, eg, toxic epidermal necrolysis or Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms.
  • Unwilling to abstain from donation of blood during and within 2 weeks after the study.
  • Is unable or unwilling to comply with any of the study requirements or timelines.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

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.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

DSM diagnostic criteria

The American Psychiatric Association’s manual of mental health diagnoses. DSM-5 (2013, revised as DSM-5-TR in 2022) replaced DSM-IV, and some studies still name the older edition. “Meets DSM criteria for …” means diagnosed by that edition’s diagnostic criteria, usually by a clinician in an interview.

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.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants reporting Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) and AEs leading to discontinuation

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant enrolled into this study, regardless of its causal relationship to the study drug. A treatment-emergent AE is defined as any event that is not present before exposure to study drug or any event or condition that is already present that worsens in either intensity or frequency after exposure to study drug. An SAE is defined as any event that: Results in death; Is life-threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. "Inpatient hospitalization" includes admission to an emergency room for observation and/or treatment that would have been insufficient in an outpatient setting; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is an important medical event. An adverse event of special interest (AESI) is an AE or SAE is defined as an AE or SAE of scientific or medical concern specific to the sponsor's product or program.

    Time frame: Up to 61 Weeks

  2. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Chemistry parameters

    Time frame: Up to 61 Weeks

  3. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Hematology parameters

    Time frame: Up to 61 Weeks

  4. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Urinalysis

    Time frame: Up to 61 Weeks

  5. Number of participants with clinically significant changes in vital signs

    Time frame: Up to 61 Weeks

  6. Number of participants with clinically significant changes in physical examinations

    Time frame: Up to 61 Weeks

  7. Number of participants with clinically significant changes in growth parameters

    Time frame: Up to 61 Weeks

  8. Number of participants with clinically significant changes in electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters

    Time frame: Up to 61 Weeks

  9. Number of participants with postive responses to Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)

    C-SSRS was developed by researchers at Columbia University as a tool to help systematically assess suicidal ideation and behavior. It is composed of questions addressing suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior, as well as self-injurious behavior without suicidal intent. The tool will be administered by a trained operator/interviewer (investigator or designee) via interview with the participant at the study time points. If the participant is unable to complete the C-SSRS due to developmental status, the participant's legally acceptable representative may not complete the C SSRS. In these cases, the investigator may use clinical judgment to assess both the participant's status regarding suicidality and ability to complete the scale, both of which must then be documented in the source document.

    Time frame: Up to 61 Weeks

  10. Number of participants with positive responses to Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Question 9

    The PHQ-9 is a multipurpose instrument for Screening, diagnosing, monitoring, and measuring the severity of depression. The scale is an easy-to-use participant questionnaire that is a self-administered version of the Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders diagnostic instrument for common mental disorders. The PHQ-9 is the depression module, which scores each of the 9 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV, Text Revision criteria as "0" (not at all) to "3" (nearly every day). It has been validated for use in primary care. Participants with a depression score of greater than 9 (mild) on the PHQ-9 scale or a positive response to Question 9 should be excluded from the study. When there is a positive response to PHQ-9 Question 9 post randomization, the investigator should determine whether an AE has occurred.

    Time frame: Up to 61 Weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Frequency Percent Change in Countable Motor Seizures During Treatment Compared to Baseline

    The percent change from Baseline in countable motor seizure frequency during Treatment will be calculated as (countable motor seizure frequency during Treatment) - (countable motor seizure frequency during Baseline \[Visit 1 of LP352-301 and LP352-302\]) ÷ seizure frequency during Baseline \[Visit 1 of LP352-301 and LP352-302\]) × 100

    Time frame: Baseline and up to 55 weeks

  2. Percentage of participants with ≥ 50% Reduction in countable motor seizures during Treatment compared to Baseline [Visit 1 of LP352-301 and LP352-302]

    Time frame: Baseline and up to 55 weeks

  3. Frequency Percent Change in Countable Motor Seizures during Maintenance compared to Baseline [Visit 1 of LP352-301 and LP352-302]

    Time frame: Baseline and up to 55 weeks
