An Investigator-Initiated Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of RC001 in Patients With Dravet Syndrome Aged 2 to 18 Years

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Early Phase 1
SUMMARY

This is an open-label, single-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of intrathecal RC001 in patients with Dravet syndrome aged 2 to 18 years. The study includes a dose-escalation part followed by a fixed dose treatment part, with participant progression based on investigator-assessed safety and efficacy.

View:

• Patients aged 2-18 years with Dravet syndrome caused by SCN1A mutations, with onset before 12 months of age characterized by focal seizures, hemiclonic seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, or myoclonic seizures, and with MRI excluding progressive neurological disease either historically or at screening. Enrolled participants will be assigned as follows: 1 participant aged 13-18 years, 1 aged 7-12 years, and 1 aged 2-6 years will undergo intra-subject dose escalation; 5 participants aged 2-12 years will receive fixed-dose multiple administrations.

• Seizure frequency requirements: at least 6 cumulative seizures within 12 weeks prior to the day of signing the ICF, and at least 2 seizures within 4 weeks prior to ICF signing. For participants in Stage 2 (fixed-dose multiple administration), seizure frequency must also be ≥4 within 4 weeks after ICF signing.

• Documented pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in the SCN1A gene associated with Dravet syndrome.

• Prior treatment with at least one anti-epileptic intervention, including anti-seizure medications (ASM), ketogenic diet, or vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), with inadequate seizure control or discontinuation due to adverse events (AEs).

• Use of at least one ASM prior to screening, with a stable dose for at least 4 weeks before screening.

• All epilepsy-related treatments, including ASM and other interventions (ketogenic diet and VNS), must be stable for at least 4 weeks prior to screening and are expected to remain stable throughout the study (medications adjusted by body weight are allowed).

• Willingness to participate and provision of written informed consent.

Participants
Target number of participants: 8
Treatments
Experimental: Dose Escalation Cohort
Participants will receive RC001 in a dose-escalation manner to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary pharmacodynamic effects. Dose levels will be administered sequentially, and escalation decisions will be based on safety data from previously treated participants. This cohort includes 3 participants.
Experimental: Fixed Dose Cohort
Participants will receive a predefined fixed dose of RC001 selected based on safety, tolerability, and pharmacological data obtained from the dose-escalation cohort. This cohort is designed to further evaluate safety and preliminary efficacy at the selected dose level. This cohort includes 5 participants.
