A Study of ABS-1230 for KCNT1-Related Epilepsy in Children and Young Adults

This study is testing a new drug called ABS-1230 for children and young adults with KCNT1-related epilepsy. Researchers want to see if ABS-1230 is safe, how well the body handles it (pharmacokinetics), and if it helps reduce seizures. Some participants will receive ABS-1230, while others will receive a placebo (an inactive substance). The study will measure side effects and how well the drug works over 12 weeks, with some participants continuing for up to a year. You might be able to join if you are between 1 month and 21 years old, have a confirmed diagnosis of KCNT1-related epilepsy, and experience at least 4 seizures per week. The study aims to enroll 45 participants.

Study design
This is a Phase 1b/2 interventional study with three parts, involving up to 45 participants. In some parts, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ABS-1230 or a placebo.
What's involved
Participants will receive ABS-1230 or placebo daily for 12 weeks in Part 1 or Part 2. Those who complete these parts may continue receiving ABS-1230 in an open-label extension for up to a year.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants are followed for 2 weeks after the 12-week treatment period in Part 1 and Part 2. In Part 3, participants are followed for up to 1 year.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

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
