Astroscape: A Study of Radiprodil on Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Effect on Seizures and Behavioral Symptoms in Patients With TSC or FCD Type II

Study RAD-GRIN-201 is a phase 1B/2A trial to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and potential efficacy of radiprodil in participants with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) or Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) type II. 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 and one year in Part B/long-term treatment period. The treatment period in Part B may be extended based on a favorable benefit/risk profile.

Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of SVG103 (Paxalisib) in Focal Cortical Dysplasia Type II (FCD-II), Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) or Hemimegalencephaly (HME)

This is a multinational, open-label, single-arm trial of adjunctive SVG103 (paxalisib) treatment in adults with FCD-II, TSC, and HME.

Mos-FED (Mosaicism in Focal Epilepsy Cortical Dysplasia Tissue)

Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a malformation of brain development, the most common cause of drug-resistant epilepsy and often caused by mutations in mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway genes. Patients with FCD develop drug-resistant seizures. This study will look at FCD tissue removed during epilepsy surgery and aims to detect mutations in mTOR pathway genes in brain cells. Secondly, the investigators will establish if evidence of mutations found in brain cells can also be detected as circulating free DNA (cfDNA) in blood. By looking at which genes are made into proteins in individual cells found in epilepsy surgical tissue (single cell expression profiling),the investigators will attempt to identify new genetic targets in FCD. The main outcome will be finding new causes of epilepsy with FCD and the development of new diagnostic and screening tools.
