Brief Summary:

Study RAD-GRIN-101 is a phase 1B trial to assess safety, tolerability, PK, and potential efficacy of radiprodil for the treatment of GRIN-related disorder in children with a Gain-of-Function (GoF) genetic variant. The study is open-label, so all participants will be treated with radiprodil.

Subjects' participation in the study is expected to last up to six months in Part A.

After the end of part A, all participants who are still eligible can choose to continue to receive radiprodil as part of an open-label long-term treatment period (Part B).


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
GRIN-related Disorders Drug: Radiprodil Phase 1

Detailed Description:

The effect of radiprodil is assessed in two (2) cohorts of pediatric participants: one (1) cohort of participants with treatment-resistant seizures (with or without behavioral symptoms) (Cohort 1) and one (1) cohort of participants with behavioral symptoms but no qualifying seizures (Cohort 2) caused by Gain-of-Function (GoF) variants in the GRIN gene. As the daily doses of radiprodil will be individually titrated for every participant and all the participants will receive the study drug, this is in effect a "single group" study.

This study is divided into the following periods:

PART A:

  • Screening/Observation Period (35 days): Investigators assess eligibility followed by a four(4)- week Observation Period to evaluate seizure frequency and/or behavioral symptoms.
  • Titration Period (approx. 51 days): Overnight stay to administer radiprodil twice daily to assigned dose level, assessing plasma concentrations, safety, and tolerability during the titration period. Once a safe and potentially effective dose has been established, the participant will immediately enter the Maintenance Period.
  • Maintenance Period (up to 53 days): During the Maintenance Period, the participant will continue to take the highest safe and potentially effective dose, as identified during the Titration Period. At the end of the Maintenance Period, there will be an additional overnight stay when the participant will either be invited to take part in Part B or enter the Tapering and Safety Follow-up Period.
  • Tapering (15 days) and Safety Follow-up Period (14 days): the participant who doesn't take part in the long-term treatment period (Part B) will need to taper off (ie gradually decrease) the study medicine for 15 days and enter a safety Follow-up Period (14 days). In this case, the participant will make one (1) last visit to the study site 14 days after his/her last dose of radiprodil.

PART B:

  • Long-Term Treatment Period (not specified): Participation in Part B of the study, at the dose established during part A, will be continued until such time as either the participant withdraws/is withdrawn from the study or sponsor terminates the study. During this period there will be four (4) visits per year, two(2) of which will require overnight stays. At the end of the Long-Term Treatment Period, the participant will enter the Tapering and Safety Follow-up Period.
  • Tapering (15 days) and Safety Follow-up Period (14 days): the participant will need to taper off the study medicine for 15 days and enter a safety Follow-up Period of 14 days. In this case, the participant will make one (1) last visit to the study site 14 days after his/her last dose of radiprodil.

Each item is scored from 0 (never a problem) to 3 (severe problem). Items load onto one of five empirically derived subscales: Irritability, Agitation, & Crying (15 items); Lethargy/Social Withdrawal (16 items); Stereotypic Behavior (7 items); Hyperactivity/Noncompliance (16 items); and Inappropriate Speech (4 items). A total score would range from 0 to 174.

  5. Change from Baseline in Clinical Global Impression - Severity [CGI-S] [ Time Frame: Baseline (week 5) to study completion (average of 2 years). ]
    The CGI-S scale is a clinician-rated measures of severity of a symptom or condition, using a single item, 6- or 7-point scale. The CGI-S scale ranges from 1 ("None") to 6 ("Very Severe").

  6. Clinical Global Impression of Change [CGI-C] [ Time Frame: Baseline (week 5) to study completion (average of 2 years). ]
    The CGI scale is a clinician-rated measures of change of a symptom or condition, using a single item, 6- or 7-point scale. The CGI-C scale ranges from 1 ("Very much worse") to 7 ("Very much improved").

  7. Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) [ Time Frame: Baseline (week 5) to study completion (average of 2 years). ]
    The GMFM is a standardized observational instrument designed and validated to measure change in gross motor function over time in children with cerebral palsy. There is a 4-point (0 to 3) scoring system for each of the 5 dimensions of gross motor function, with higher scores denoting better performance.

  8. Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC) [ Time Frame: Baseline (week 5) to study completion (average of 2 years). ]
    The SDSC is a parent-report measure to screen for sleep disturbances within the preceding period. It is a 27-item questionnaire rated on a 5-point Likert scale, with higher scores being indicative of more acute sleep disturbances.

  9. Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory [PedsQL] [ Time Frame: Baseline (week 5) to study completion (average of 2 years). ]
    The PedsQL is a 23-item generic health status instrument assessing 5 domains of health in children. It's a 0-100 scale, and higher scores are indicative of better health-related quality of life.

  10. Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI) [ Time Frame: Baseline (week 5) to study completion (average of 2 years). ]
    The CBI is a validated scale providing information regarding the impact of caregiving on the lives of caregivers. It comprises 24 closed questions divided into 5 dimensions. Each dimension includes 4 or 5 items. Each item is given a score between 0 and 4, where higher scores indicate greater caregiver burden.
