Plain-language summary
This is a Phase 3, global, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of adjunctive GNX treatment in children and adults with TSC-related epilepsy. The study consists of a 4-week prospective Baseline phase, defined as the first 28 days following screening, followed by a double-blind phase consisting of a 4-week titration period (Day 1 to Day 28) and a 12-week maintenance period (Day 29 to Week 16).

Inclusion criteria
✓. Clinical or mutational diagnosis of TSC consistent with:
✓. Molecular confirmation of a pathogenic mutation in TSC1 or TSC2. A pathogenic mutation is defined as a mutation that clearly prevents protein synthesis and/or inactivates the function of the TSC1 or TSC2 proteins (eg, nonsense mutation or frameshift mutations, large genomic deletions) or is a missense mutation whose effect on protein function has been established by functional assessment. The Principal investigator (PI) or designee must review the results of the genetic analysis and confirm that the causal relationship to the epilepsy syndrome is likely. OR
✓. Clinical diagnosis of definite TSC which includes 2 major features or 1 major feature with ≥ 2 minor features.
✓. Male or female participants aged 1 through 65 years, inclusive. For Europe (EU), Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and Oceania (OC) Male or Female participants aged 2 through 65 years, inclusive.
✓. Participant/parent(s) or LAR(s) willing to give written informed consent/assent, after being properly informed of the nature and risks of the study and prior to engaging in any study related procedures. If the participant is not qualified nor able to provide written informed consent based on age, developmental stage, intellectual capacity, or other factors, parent(s)/LAR(s) must provide consent for study participation, if appropriate.
✓. Failure to control seizures despite appropriate trial of 2 or more Anti-seizure medication (ASMs) at therapeutic doses and for adequate duration of treatment per PI judgment.
✓. Participants should be on a stable regimen of ASMs (including moderate or strong inducer or inhibitor ASM eg, carbamazepine, phenytoin, etc.) at therapeutic doses for ≥ 28 days prior to the screening visit, and without a foreseeable change in dosing for the duration of the study. (Note: Minor dose adjustment to address tolerability and safety events may be allowed on case-by-case basis and it should be discussed with the study medical monitor.)
What they're measuring
1
Percent Change From Baseline in 28-day Seizure Frequency for Primary Seizure Type During Double Blind Period
✓. A history of at least 8 countable seizures per month in the 2 months prior to screening with no more than 1 seizure free week in each month. This includes seizures of any kind.
Exclusion criteria
✕. Previous exposure to GNX.
✕. Pregnant or breastfeeding.
✕. Participants who have been taking felbamate for less than 1 year prior to screening.
✕. Participants taking cannabidiol (CBD) preparations other than Epidiolex.
✕. A positive result on plasma drug screen for CBD or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) at Visit 1 (screening), with the exception of results that are fully explained by Epidiolex, which can be adjusted by the investigator in the event of any Adverse events (AEs).
✕. Concurrent use of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), prednisone or other glucocorticoid is not permitted, nor use of the strong inducers of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), rifampin and St John's Wort. Participants on ACTH, prednisone, or other systemically (non-inhaled or topical) administered steroids should be off the product \> 28 days prior to screening. Rifampin and St John's Wort must be discontinued at least 28 days before Visit 2, study drug initiation.
✕. Use of concomitant intranasal or pro re nata (PRN) topical steroids for dermatologic reactions and allergic rhinitis are allowed during the study.
✕. This exclusion criterion does not prohibit the use of approved ASMs.
