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.

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 weeks of screening or during the screening
period.
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 enrollment 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.
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.
