Conditions

Dravet Syndrome

Brief summary

EXPEDITION is a Phase 1/2 study in the UK to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ETX101 in participants with SCN1A-positive Dravet Syndrome aged 6 to \< 48 months. The study follows and open-label, dose-escalation design.

Interventions

DRUGETX101

ETX101 is composed of a non-replicating, recombinant adeno-associated viral serotype 9 (rAAV9) vector used to deliver a GABAergic regulatory element (reGABA) and an engineered transcription factor that increases transcription of the SCN1A gene (eTFSCN1A)

Inclusion criteria

* Participant has a predicted loss of function pathogenic or likely pathogenic SCN1A variant * Participant must have experienced their first seizure between the age of 3 and 15 months * Participant must have a clinical diagnosis of Dravet syndrome or the treating clinician must have high clinical suspicion of a diagnosis of Dravet syndrome * Participant is receiving at least one prophylactic antiseizure medication

Exclusion criteria

* 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 is currently taking or has taken antiseizure medications (ASMs) at a therapeutic dose that are contraindicated in Dravet syndrome, including sodium channel blockers. * Participant has experienced seizure freedom for a period of 4 consecutive weeks within the 90-day period prior to informed consent. * Participant has previously received gene or cell therapy. * Participant is currently enrolled in a clinical trial or receiving an investigational therapy. * Participant has clinically significant underlying liver disease.
