Other illness

  • Has any clinically significant or known pathogenic or likely pathogenic genetic variant other than in SCN2A and SCN8A or a genetic variant that may explain or contribute to the participant's epilepsy and/or developmental disorder.

Lab values

  • Has a documented, functionally characterized loss-of-function (LoF) missense variant or a presumed LoF variant (nonsense or frameshift variant) based on genetic testing and/or clinical evidence that prior exposure to a sodium channel blocker (SCB) medication worsened seizures.

Other

  • Additional exclusion criteria apply and will be assessed by the study team.

Who the study is looking for

  • Has a documented variant in SCN2A with onset of seizures occurring in the first 3 months of life or has a diagnosis of SCN8A-DEE supported by both clinical and genetic findings.
  • Has a seizure frequency as follows:
    • At least 8 countable motor seizures in the 4 weeks immediately prior to Screening as reported by the parent/legal guardian or in the opinion of the investigator as documented in medical notes.
