Study summary

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of JZP926 capsule in participants with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME).

Read the detailed description

This Phase 2/3 multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of JZP926 capsule in participants aged ≥ 10 years with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME). The study will assess the efficacy of JZP926 capsule as an adjunctive treatment in reducing the frequency of myoclonic seizure days when compared with placebo, as well as the effect of JZP926 capsule on non-seizure endpoints.

  1. Is ≥ 10 years of age at the time of screening.
  2. Has a diagnosis of JME per ILAE criteria as specified in the protocol.
  3. Has at least 4 myoclonic seizure days per 28 days historical seizure frequency.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria

Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:

  1. Presence of seizure types other than GTC, myoclonic, and absence seizures.
  2. If historical MRI has been performed, participant's MRI reveals a cause of epilepsy other than JME.
  3. Has a concurrent, confirmed diagnosis of non-epileptic seizures or events that can confound the assessment of the efficacy measures, in the opinion of the investigator.
  4. The etiology of the participant's seizures is a progressive neurologic disease.
  5. Has clinically unstable or progressive epilepsy.
  6. Has unstable medical condition(s), other than epilepsy, including unstable psychiatric disorders.
  7. Has a history of status epilepticus in the 3 months prior to screening.
  8. History of suicidal behavior, current suicidal risk as determined from history, or presence of active suicidal ideation as indicated by a positive response to Item 4 or Item 5 on the C-SSRS or is considered at risk of suicide or self-harm based on the clinical judgement of the investigator following interview with the participant and/or caregiver.
  9. Has known or suspected to cannabinoids or any of the of the study intervention.
  10. Is currently treated with Epidiolex or recently received treatment with Epidiolex within 28 days prior to screening.
  11. Has a body weight \< 20 kg or > 150 kg.
  12. Is currently using or has used recreational or medicinal cannabis, cannabinoid/CBD based medications, products, or supplements (botanical or synthetic) within 28 days prior to screening.

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.

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.

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.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.
