Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Capable of providing consent and has completed the written informed consent.
  • Male or female, 18 to 65 years of age, inclusive, with a body mass index (BMI) < 40 kg/m^2.
  • Diagnosis of focal onset epilepsy according to the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Classification of Epilepsy (2017) at least 18 months before screening.
  • History of uncontrolled seizures despite adequate treatment with at least 1 anti-seizure medication (ASM) for at least 18 months prior to screening.
  • Treatment with at least 1 but not more than 4 ASMs for at least 1 month before screening, during the baseline seizure diary data collection, and throughout the duration of the study.
  • Be able to keep accurate seizure diaries.
  • Documented seizure frequency in the baseline seizure diary of ≥8 countable focal seizures during the 8-week seizure baseline period.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of epilepsy with only nonmotor seizures without an observable component, psychogenic nonepileptic seizures, or primary generalized seizures.
  • Presence or previous history of developmental and/or epileptic encephalopathy.
  • Presence of seizure types other than FOS.
  • Status epilepticus within the last 12 months before enrollment.
  • Any suicidal behavior or suicidal ideation of type 4 (active suicidal ideation with some intent to act, without specific plan) or type 5 (active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent) based on the C-SSRS in the 2 years before screening, a history of suicide attempt in the last 2 years, or more than 1 lifetime suicide attempt.
  • Multiple drug allergies or a severe drug reaction to an ASM(s), including dermatological (eg, Stevens-Johnson syndrome), hematological, or organ toxicity reactions.

Drug

Matching placebo tablets for oral administration

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants with Serious Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation of Study Treatment, and Fatal TEAEs

    Time frame: Through Week 15

  2. NBI-921352 exposure-efficacy response relationship, defined as the slope of the relationship between reduction in monthly focal onset seizure frequency and plasma concentration at steady state

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 11

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percent Change from Baseline in Monthly Focal Onset Seizure Frequency During the Treatment Period

    Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 1 to 11

  2. Percent Change from Baseline in Monthly Focal Onset Seizure Frequency During the Maintenance period

    Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 4 to 11

  3. Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) Scores at Week 11

    Time frame: Week 11

  4. Percentage of Participants with a ≥ 50% reduction in monthly (28 days) focal onset seizure frequency during the treatment period

    Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 1 to 11
