Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • 1. Patients must be ≥2 and \<18 years of age.
  • 2. Patients must have a clinical diagnosis of DS confirmed by the Epilepsy Study Consortium, Inc. (ESCI) and as defined by:
  • 3. Patient must have a documented pathogenic, likely pathogenic variant, or variant of uncertain significance in the sodium voltage-gated channel type 1 alpha subunit (SCN1A) gene. Patients who have SCN1A testing results of Negative (no variants identified) cannot be randomized.
  • 4. Patient must experience the required number of major motor seizures during the 6-week Observation Period. Major motor seizure types included are Seizure types included in counts are Hemiclonic, Focal with Motor Signs, Focal to Bilateral Tonic-Clonic, Generalized Tonic-Clonic, Tonic, Tonic/Atonic (Drop Attacks with fall or risk of fall), and Bilateral Clonic.
  • 5. Patient must have used at least 2 prior interventions for seizures. These can include anti-seizure medications (ASMs), ketogenic diet and/or vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with either lack of adequate seizure control or discontinued due to an AE(s). These interventions can be ongoing therapies.
  • 6. Patient must be taking at least one ASM. Benzodiazepines or ASMs used on a standing basis (i.e., not as needed \[PRN\]) for any indication will be considered an ASM.
  • 7. Patients' maintenance ASMs and interventions for seizures (i.e., ketogenic diet or VNS), as well as any marijuana- or cannabinoid-based products, must have been stable (unless adjusted for weight) during the Baseline Period.
  • 1. Patient has documented variant in the SCN1A gene associated with gain-of-function
  • 2. Patient is currently treated with a maintenance ASM acting primarily as a sodium channel blocker, including but not limited to phenytoin, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, lamotrigine, lacosamide, rufinamide, or cenobamate, given the mechanism of action of zorevunersen.
  • 3. Patient is currently treated with neuromodulation techniques (e.g., responsive neurostimulation, deep brain stimulation, or transcranial magnetic stimulation), with the exception of VNS.
  • 4. Patient has emergence of a new seizure type or reemergence of a past seizure type (seizure types that last occurred more than 12 months before Screening Visit A) during the Baseline Period, or has more than 1 hospitalization for seizures during the Baseline Period.
