A Study of Soticlestat as an Add-on Therapy in Children and Adults With Dravet Syndrome or Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome

The main aim of the study is to learn if soticlestat, when given as an add-on therapy, reduces the number of seizures in children and adults with Dravet Syndrome (DS) or Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS).

Participants will receive their standard anti-seizure therapy, plus tablets of soticlestat. There will be scheduled visits and follow-up phone calls throughout the study.

Why the study stopped: Due to negative results from phase 3 SKYLINE and SKYWAY studies and unrelated to patient safety it has been determined that supplementary data from TAK-935-3003 study is no longer necessary. Therefore, Takeda has made a decision to close this study
Terminated

About this study

The drug being tested in this study is called soticlestat (TAK-935). Soticlestat administered long-term in pediatric and adult participants who participated in an antecedent soticlestat Phase 3 clinical study will be assessed for additional safety and tolerability data along with efficacy analysis, as well as palatability and acceptability of soticlestat in the pediatric population.

The study will enroll approximately 400 participants.

All participants will receive soticlestat based on their weight in the 2-week Titration Period (for participants who roll over from an antecedent double-blind study). Following the Titration Period, participants will continue to receive the same dose in the Maintenance Period. At the end of maintenance period, the dose will be down-tapered (unless already at the lowest dose) and then stopped. Participants not tolerating minimum dose of 100 mg twice a day (BID) will be discontinued from the study.

This multi-center trial will be conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in the study will be approximately 4 years, or until the study is stopped at the discretion of the sponsor, or the product is approved and launched. Participants who discontinue study drug treatment before the completion of the study, will continue to be followed per protocol and maintain a daily seizure diary until the final follow-up phone call.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With At Least One Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

    Time frame: Up to end of study (approximately 3.6 years)

    An Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE was therefore any unfavorable and unintended sign (example, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it was considered related to the drug. A TEAE was defined as any AE that started or increased in severity after the first dose of the study drug in this open label extension (OLE) study.

  2. Number of Participants in Each Category of the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) Over Time

    Time frame: At first visit post-baseline (Visit 1 [V1], Day 1 of the current study), Week 13 (V4), Week 26 (V5), Week 52 (V7), Week 78 (V9), Week104 (v11), Week 130 (V12) and Week 156 (V13)

    C-SSRS systematically tracks suicidal ideation and behavior. Responses to questions in the C-SSRS at baseline and each post-baseline time point were collected for participants ≥6 years of age. C-SSRS incidences were categorized as follows: No Suicidal Ideation or Suicidal Behavior or Non-suicidal Self-injurious Behavior (No SI or SB or NSSJB), Non-suicidal Self-injurious Behavior (NSSJB), Suicidal Ideation (SI), and Suicidal Behavior (SB). For each visit (V), the "Yes" answer to the question with the highest severity rank was used to determine the C-SSRS category of a participant. The category Missing indicates the number of participants for whom no data was collected at the particular time point. For each time point only categories with at least 1 participant are presented. BL denotes Baseline and W denotes Week for the reported categories.

  3. Change From Baseline in Body Weight for All Age Groups

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 104

    BL denotes Baseline, CFB denotes Change from Baseline and W denotes Week for the reported categories.

  4. Change From Baseline in Height for All Age Groups

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 104

    BL denotes Baseline, CFB denotes Change from Baseline and W denotes Week for the reported categories.

  5. Number of Participants in Each Tanner Stage for Children 6 to 17 Years of Age During the Study

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 130

    Tanner assessment scores were used to document the stage of development of puberty by assessing the secondary sexual characteristics, rated in 5 stages: Stage 1 (no development) to 5 (adult-like development in quantity and size) by age (6 to 17 years of age) and sex (boys and girls) during the study. Tanner scale boy clinical classification test names for each stage are reported as follows: TANN02-Genitalia and TANN02-Pubic Hair. Tanner scale girl clinical classification test names for each stage are reported as follows: TANN01-Breast and TANN01-Pubic Hair.

  6. Absolute Value for Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) for Children 2 to 17 Years of Age During the Study

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 130

    Absolute values of IGF1 were summarized descriptively as a continuous variable by age and by sex (male and female). If multiple assessments for a participant at different visits at a particular age were available, then the average of all data for that participant were used for the summary.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percent Change From Baseline in Total Seizure Frequency Per 28 Days

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 156

    Seizure frequency per 28 days was defined as total number of seizures reported during the period divided by number of days during the period seizures were assessed multiplied by 28. Percent change from Baseline was defined as (frequency of seizures per 28 days during Treatment Period - frequency of seizures per 28 days at Baseline) divided by the frequency of seizures per 28 days at Baseline multiplied by 100.

  2. Percent Change From Baseline in Convulsive Seizure Frequency Per 28 Days in DS Cohort

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 156

    Convulsive seizure frequency per 28 days was defined as total number of convulsive seizures reported during the period divided by number of days during the period seizures were assessed multiplied by 28. Percent change from Baseline was defined as (frequency of convulsive seizures per 28 days during Treatment Period - frequency of convulsive seizures per 28 days at Baseline) divided by the frequency of convulsive seizures per 28 days at Baseline multiplied by 100.

  3. Percent Change From Baseline in Major Motor Drop (MMD) Seizure Frequency Per 28 Days in LGS Cohort

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 144

    MMD seizure frequency per 28 days was defined as the total number of MMD seizures reported during the period divided by the number of days during the period seizures were assessed multiplied by 28. Percent change from baseline was defined as (frequency of MMD seizures per 28 days during the Treatment Period - frequency of MMD seizures per 28 days at Baseline) divided by the frequency of MMD seizures per 28 days at Baseline multiplied by 100.

  4. Number of Participants With Improvement in the Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) Score

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 156

    The CGI-I Clinician is a 7-point Likert scale that the investigator uses to rate a participant's change in overall seizure control, behavior, safety and tolerability, after the initiation of study drug relative to Baseline (before treatment with study drug). The participants were rated as follows: 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (much worse), and 7 (very much worse). Reported here is the number of participants with improvement, which includes the CGI-I responses: very much improved, much improved, minimally improved.

  5. Number of Participants With Improvement in the Caregiver Global Impression of Improvement (Care GI-I) Score

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 156

    The Care GI-I is a 7-point Likert scale that the caregiver used to rate a participant's change in overall seizure control, behavior, safety and tolerability after the initiation of study drug relative to Baseline (before treatment with study drug). The participants were rated as follows: 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (much worse), and 7 (very much worse). The parent/caregiver completed the Care GI-I via interview. Reported here is the number of participants with improvement, which includes the Care GI-I responses: very much improved, much improved, minimally improved.

  6. Number of Participants With Improvement in the CGI-I Seizure Intensity and Duration Score

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 156

    The CGI-I seizure intensity and duration instrument was used by the parent/caregiver to rate a participant's change in intensity and duration of convulsive seizures (DS Cohort) or MMD seizures (LGS Cohort) from Baseline. The participant's symptoms were rated on 7-point scale as follows: 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (much worse), and 7 (very much worse). Reported here is the number of participants with improvement, which includes the CGI-I Seizure responses: very much improved, much improved, minimally improved.

  7. Number of Participants With Improvement in CGI-I Nonseizure Symptoms Score

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 156

    The CGI-I nonseizure symptoms instrument is a series of single-item assessments that the investigator used to rate a participant's change in the caregiver-identified symptoms and impacts in select nonseizure domains since initiating the study drug. The participants were rated on 7-point scale by the investigator as follows: 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (much worse), and 7 (very much worse). At Baseline, a symptoms form was completed by the clinician in collaboration with the primary caregiver to assess the participants status based on the presence of any nonseizure symptoms. Reported here is the number of participants with improvement, which includes the CGI-I nonseizure symptoms responses: very much improved, much improved, minimally improved.

  8. Change From Baseline in Quality of Life Inventory-Disability (QI-Disability) Score

    Time frame: From Baseline to Week 156

    The QI-Disability tool is a parent/caregiver-reported questionnaire that evaluates quality of life in children with intellectual disabilities. It contains 32 items covering 6 domains of quality of life: physical health, positive emotions, negative emotions, social interaction, leisure and the outdoors, and independence. Items were rated on a 5-point Likert scale and then transformed to a scale of 0 to 100. Possible scores range from 0-100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life. Negative change from baseline indicates worsening of quality of life.
