Overview
WAYFINDER is a Phase 1/2 study in Australia to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ETX101 in participants with SCN1A-positive Dravet syndrome aged 36 to <84 months (3 to <7 years). The study follows an open-label, dose-escalation design.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participant must have a predicted loss of function pathogenic or likely pathogenic SCN1A variant.
- Participant must have experienced their first convulsive seizure between the ages of 3 and 15 months.
- Participant must have a clinical diagnosis of Dravet syndrome or the treating clinician must have a 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 6-month 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.
