This means your child has access to the most advanced care available, including the opportunity to participate in clinical trials when appropriate. The research activities of our team include:
Use of ZX008 to treat Dravet Syndrome. A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled trial of two fixed doses of ZX008 (Fenfluramine Hydrochloride) oral solution as an adjunctive therapy in children and young adults with Dravet syndrome.
Use of perampanel oral suspension in children with certain seizures. An open-label, multicenter study with an extension phase to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and exposure-efficacy relationship of perampanel oral suspension when administered as an adjunctive therapy in pediatric subjects (age 4 to less than 12 years) with inadequately controlled partial-onset seizures or primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures.
Use of perampanel for seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome.
