Astroscape: a Study of Radiprodil on Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Effect on Seizures and Behavioral Symptoms in Patients with TSC or FCD Type II
Study Purpose
Study RAD-GRIN-201 is a phase 1B/2A trial to assess safety, tolerability,
pharmacokinetics (PK), and potential efficacy of radiprodil in participants with Tuberous
Sclerosis Complex (TSC) or Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) type
II. The study is
open-label, so all participants will be treated with radiprodil.
Subjects' participation
in the study is expected to last up to six months in Part A and one year in Part
B/long-term treatment period. The treatment period in Part B may be extended based on a
favorable benefit/risk profile.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms
No
Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.
An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Failed to respond to at least 2 anti-seizure medications (ASMs) at appropriate
dosages and duration.
- Disease specific criteria:
1.
diagnosis of FCD Type II based on clinical symptoms and confirmed by a positive
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
2. diagnosis of TSC by either clinical or genetic diagnostic criteria (Northrup,
2021) as documented in the participant's medical record.
- Participant on average has had at least 8 countable/witnessed primary seizures
during a 4-week baseline period with at least 1 seizure occurring in at least 3 of
the 4 weeks of baseline.
- All medical interventions for epilepsy / behavior (including ketogenic diet and any
neurostimulation devices) should be stable for 28 days prior to screening with no
more than 6 days per month use of rescue medication.
Participants must remain on a
stable regimen throughout the treatment period.
- Participant has had an MRI scan within 12 months of the planned date of first dose
of study drug.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any other clinically relevant medical, neurologic, or psychiatric condition and/or
behavioral disorder unrelated to TSC or FCD Type II that would preclude or
jeopardize participant's safe participation or administration of study drug or the
conduct of the study according to the judgement of the investigator.
- Clinically significant laboratory or ECG abnormalities.
- Severe hepatic dysfunction (Child-Pugh grade C).
- History of brain surgery within 6 months of screening for epilepsy or any other
reason.
- Contraindications to radiprodil or with known hypersensitivity to the active
substance or the excipients or other chemically closely related substances.
- Receiving treatment with contraindicated concomitant drugs such as agonists or
antagonists of the glutamate receptor, including but not limited to felbamate,
memantine, and perampanel.
- body weight <10kg for whom a gastric tube is the only possibility for radiprodil
dosing.
Trial Details
Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.
Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.
Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.
Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Conditions
The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied.
Approximately 20 participants with TSC and 10 participants with FCD type II will be
enrolled.
The effects of radiprodil are assessed in participants with treatment-resistant seizures
(with or without behavioral symptoms). The daily doses of radiprodil will be individually
titrated for every participant and all the participants will receive study drug.
This study is divided into the following periods:
PART A:
- Screening/Observation Period (up to six(6) weeks): Investigators assess eligibility
followed by an Observation Period (at least four(4) weeks) to evaluate seizure
frequency.
- Titration Period (approx.
four(4) weeks): Radiprodil twice daily will be
administered in escalating doses and plasma concentrations, safety, and tolerability
assessed. Once a safe and potentially effective dose has been established, the
participant will immediately enter the Maintenance Period.
- Maintenance Period (approx.
twelve(12) weeks): The participant will continue to take
the safe and potentially effective dose identified during the Titration Period. At
the end of the Maintenance Period the participant will either be invited to enter
Part B or the Tapering and Safety Follow-up Period.
- Tapering (15 days) and Safety Follow-up Period (14 days): a participant who doesn't
take part in the long-term treatment period (Part B) will taper (ie gradually
decrease) the study medicine for 15 days and enter a safety Follow-up Period (14
days).
In this case, the participant will have one
(1) last visit at the end of the
safety Follow-up Period.
PART B:
- Long-Term Treatment Period (one(1) year): During the Long-Term Treatment Period
(Part B), participants will continue taking radiprodil at the usual dose level and
making regular visits to the study site.
- Tapering (15 days) and Safety Follow-up Period (14 days): at the end of the
long-term treatment period (Part B), the participant will taper (ie gradually
decrease) the study medicine for 15 days and enter a safety Follow-up Period (14
days) after his/her last dose of radiprodil.
The participant will have one
(1) last
visit at the end of the safety Follow-up Period.
Arms & Interventions
