About this trial

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). Part 1A follows an open-label, dose-escalation design, Part 1B follows an open-label design, and Part 2 is a randomized, double-blind, sham delayed-treatment control study.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

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 3 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.

Disqualifiers

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.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • ETX101

    Drug

    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.

Trial outcomes

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).

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.
3

Safety Endpoint: Overall survival.

Time frame
From Day 1 through Study Completion.
