1. To assess treatment efficacy with YCJ-01 by changes in the number of epileptic seizures in patients with refractory epilepsy secondary to Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. 2. To assess the safety of the treatment with YCJ-01 in patients with refractory epilepsy secondary to Tuberous Sclerosis Complex.
The current situation of epilepsy is a very frequent problem with onset in the first years of life in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). There are many current therapeutic options; however, 63.3% of patients have uncontrolled epilepsy and most of them experience daily seizures. Poor seizure control is correlated with intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder. Given the lack of effective treatments for the management of refractory epilepsy, a prospective, experimental clinical trial has been designed. Although there are additional treatment options such as vagus nerve stimulation and the ketogenic diet (apart from antiepileptic drugs), they do not control epilepsy.
Comparison of the number of monthly seizures since the initiation of the treatment with YCJ-01 with respect to the baseline period: in patients assigned to receive YCJ-01, change in the number of monthly seizures in the second month of treatment with respect to the baseline period; and in patient assigned to receive a placebo, changes in the number of monthly seizures in the second month of treatment with YCJ-01 with respect to the baseline period.
