About this trial

This is a Phase 2 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of SPN-817 in adults with focal onset seizures.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Diagnosis of treatment-resistant focal epilepsy as adjudicated by the Epilepsy Study Consortium, Inc (ESCI);

Failed to achieve sustained seizure freedom after ≥2 tolerated, appropriately chosen, and adequately dosed ASM drug schedules;

Able to keep accurate Seizure electronic diaries [eDiaries] (with the aid of a caregiver as needed);

Has a body mass index (BMI) between 18.0 and 40.0 kg/m2;

Disqualifiers

Has taken huperzine A within the past 6 months;

Prior diagnosis of combined focal and generalized epilepsy syndrome as evidenced by severe developmental delay and multiple seizure types and confirmed by electroencephalography (EEG) (eg, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome). Participants should also be excluded in case of nondiagnostic information;

History of or current nonepileptic events that could be confused by the participant and/or study staff as epileptic seizures;

Only has seizures that are difficult to count; for example, seizures that are not clinically observable;

Secondary outcomes

1

Proportion of subjects experiencing ≥50% reduction in focal seizure frequency per 28 days from baseline

Greater than or equal to 50% reduction in 28-day frequency of focal seizures during the 14 week Maintenance Period relative to baseline.

Time frame
Baseline and Maintenance Period (Maintenance Week 1-14)
2

PCH from baseline in focal onset seizure frequency per 28 days over the entire Treatment Period
