Study summary

This is a multinational, open-label, single-arm trial of adjunctive SVG103 (paxalisib) treatment in adults with FCD-II, TSC, and HME.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, phase 1b/2a study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics SVG103 (paxalisib) in 12 patients with Focal Cortical Dysplasia Type II (FCD-II), Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) or Hemimegalencephaly (HME).

The name of the study drug involved in this study is SVG103 (paxalisib).

The trial consists of a 4 week prospective baseline period (D-28\~D1) to collect seizure data, followed by a 12-week treatment phase. And, there is a 4-week washout (follow-up) phase.

It is expected that about 12 participants will take part in this research study for up to 3-4 months as long as there is no serious side effects and disease progression.

"Investigational" means that the drug is being studied. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved SVG103 (paxalisib) for this specific disease.

Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Participants diagnosed with:

    • FCD-II: diagnosis of FCD Type II based on clinical symptoms and confirmed by a positive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or histological/pathological analysis of brain tissue, or
    • TSC: diagnosis of TSC by either clinical or genetic diagnostic criteria as documented in the participant's medical record, or
    • HME: Definitive HME confirmed with MRI.
  2. Male or female between the ages of 18 and 65 years of age (inclusive).
  3. History of failure to control seizures despite at least 2 ASMs at appropriate dosages and duration of treatment.
  4. Participants must have experienced at least 8 countable seizures per month for 2 of the 3 months as documented in historical seizure diaries before the baseline period.

6. If participants are on a ketogenic or modified atkins diet, that the regimen can remain unchanged throughout the study, in the opinion of the investigator.

7. Participants with Neurostimulation devices (i.e. Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS), Responsive Neuro Stimulation (RNS), Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) who meet all of the following conditions:

  • The device has been implanted for ≥1 year prior to the screening visit.
  • The settings must have remained constant for 3 months prior to the screening visit and can remain constant throughout the study, in the opinion of the investigator.
  • The battery is expected to last throughout the study. 8. A participant/caregiver or LAR willing to give written , after being properly informed of the nature and risks of the study and prior to engaging in any study-related procedures.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  1. hepatic, renal, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, neurological (other than epilepsy; HME; TSC; FCD-II), , immunological, infections, hematological, malignant conditions that may interfere with or impact the participation in the study or study conduct, as determined but the investigator or sponsor.
  2. participants, defined as acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), cancer, malnutrition, and certain genetic disorders or undergoing treatment with anticancer drugs, radiation therapy, and stem cell or organ transplant.
  3. Participants who have an active central nervous system (CNS) infection, demyelinating disease, degenerative neurological disease, or CNS disease deemed progressive as evaluated by brain imaging (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]).
  4. Participants being considered for brain surgery during the study or has undergone brain surgery within 6 months prior to screening visit for epilepsy or any other reason.
  5. Participants with levels ≥9.0%, or with hyperglycemia or diabetes requiring insulin therapy, or significant uncontrolled hyperglycaemia or diabetes mellitus that would compromise patient safety, as determined by the investigator.
  6. Participants with active pneumonitis that are clinically symptomatic.
  7. Participants with a history of myocardial infarction or coronary artery disease or clinically significant abnormality.
  8. Participants who have clinically significant hepatic, renal and blood laboratory values at baseline period.
  9. Participants with known sensitivity or allergy to any component in the product(s) (microcrystalline cellulose, lactose monohydrate, croscarmellose sodium, and colloidal silicon dioxide).
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

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.

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.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

HbA1c

A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.

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.

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs (SAEs), Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs), TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation and Severity of TEAEs

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study patient, temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. A serious adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or any other event that requires scientific judgment.

    Time frame: Up to 12 Weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in seizure frequency

    Assessed by seizure diaries

    Time frame: Baseline (week 1) to week 12

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.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 10, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
