Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 1b/2 study that consists of 3 parts.

In part 1, participants will receive ABS-1230 for 12 weeks, with a follow-up period of 2 weeks.

In part 2, participants will receive ABS-1230 or placebo for 12 weeks, with a follow-up period of 2 weeks.

All participants who complete part 1 or part 2 will have the option to continue receiving ABS-1230 in an open-label extension study (part 3).

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Aged 1 month to <22 years
  • Clinician-confirmed diagnosis of KCNT1-related epilepsy
  • Has an average of at least 4 countable motor seizures per week
  • Is taking no more than 6 antiseizure medications (ASM) and is able to keep stable doses of ASMs for the duration of Part 1 or Part 2

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Is currently taking phenytoin, carbamazepine, stiripentol, or quinidine
  • Has a medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would limit the participant's ability to participate in the study or might compromise participant safety or interfere with evaluation of the study drug.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Part 1: Safety and tolerability of ABS-1230 (incidence and severity of adverse events)
Time Frame: Measured from Day 1 to End of Study or Early Termination (up to 12 weeks)
Safety and tolerability of ABS-1230 by determining the incidence and severity of treatment emergent adverse events
Measured from Day 1 to End of Study or Early Termination (up to 12 weeks)
Part 2: Efficacy of ABS-1230
Time Frame: Measured from Day 1 to End of Study or Early Termination (up to 12 weeks)
Percentage change from baseline in countable motor seizures (normalized per 28 days) as recorded in the seizure diary
Measured from Day 1 to End of Study or Early Termination (up to 12 weeks)
Part 3: Safety and tolerability of ABS-1230 (incidence and severity of adverse events)
Time Frame: Measured from Day 1 of Part 3 to End of Study or Early Termination (up to 1 year)
Safety and tolerability of ABS-1230 by determining the incidence and severity of treatment emergent adverse events
Measured from Day 1 of Part 3 to End of Study or Early Termination (up to 1 year)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maximum Plasma Concentration [Cmax] of ABS-1230
Time Frame: Measured from Day 1 to End of Study or Early Termination (up to 12 weeks)
Pharmacokinetics of ABS-1230

Total Exposure [AUCtau] ABS-1230
Time Frame: Measured from Day 1 to End of Study or Early Termination (up to 12 weeks)
Pharmacokinetics of ABS-1230

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
