A Study Using SAGE-547 for Super Resistant Status Epilepticus

Overview

About this study

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of SAGE-547 administered as a continuous intravenous infusion to patients in very resistant status epilepticus.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects two (2) years of age and older
  • Subjects who have:
    • Failed to respond to the administration of at least one first-line agent (e.g., benzodiazepine or other emergent initial AED treatment), according to institution standard of care, and;
    • Failed to respond to at least one second-line agent (e.g., phenytoin, fosphenytoin, valproate, phenobarbital, levetiracetam or other urgent control AED), according to institution standard of care, and;
    • Not previously been administered a third-line agent but have been admitted to an intensive care unit with the intent of administering at least one third-line agent for at least 24 hours; or who have previously failed zero, one or more wean attempts from third-line agents and are now on continuous intravenous infusions of one or more third-line agent and in an EEG burst or seizure suppression pattern; or who have previously failed one or more wean attempts from third-line agents and are now either not on a continuous intravenous infusion of at least one third-line agent or are on a continuous intravenous infusion of one or more third-line agent but not in an EEG burst or seizure suppression pattern

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects with SRSE due to anoxic/hypoxic encephalopathy with highly malignant/ malignant EEG features
  • Children (subjects aged less than 17 years) with an encephalopathy due to a rapidly progressing underlying neurological disorder
  • Subjects who have any of the following:
    1. a GFR low enough to warrant dialysis but for whatever reason, dialysis is not planned or non-continuous dialysis planned (that would not adequately remove Captisol®);
    2. severe cardiogenic or vasodilatory shock requiring two or more pressors that is not related to third-line agent use;
    3. fulminant hepatic failure;
    4. no reasonable expectation of recovery (for instance, a likely outcome is persistent vegetative state) or life-expectancy, in the experience of the investigator, is less than 30 days.
  • Subjects who are being administered more than three third-line agents concomitantly or in whom the qualifying wean cannot be completed per protocol
