About the Study

A clinical research study is being conducted to evaluate an investigational medication in individuals diagnosed with Dravet syndrome. Dravet syndrome is a rare, severe epilepsy often associated with mutations in the SCN1A gene and characterized by multiple seizure types.

The purpose of this study is to better understand the safety and potential effects of the investigational medication. Participation in this study is completely voluntary. Compensation may be provided for eligible participants. Your participation could help advance understanding and improve future treatment options for Dravet Syndrome.

Who may qualify:

Individuals may be eligible if they:
Are 2 years of age or older
Have a clinical diagnosis of Dravet syndrome
Have a confirmed SCN1A gene mutation
Continue to experience countable motor seizures
Are on stable antiseizure medications
Meet additional study requirements

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does a typical research study look like?

There are different types of research studies, including those that are observational, where no investigational drug is given to the patient, and interventional, where an investigational drug/device/procedure is used. The government has established many rules to help ensure that research studies are conducted in the most ethical and safe way possible and that participants are protected throughout.

Why volunteer to take part in a research study?

Volunteers are part of the next wave of science and can influence the future of medicine. Advances in research have allowed people to get new treatments, new diagnostic tests, new procedures, etc. — and these breakthroughs wouldn’t be possible without volunteers.

Can I tell my doctor? Will my doctor get involved?

You can always share information about the research study with your primary doctor or healthcare provider. We encourage you to do so, especially if this is someone you know well and trust. Your doctor can be an additional resource when you are first learning about a research study and have any questions. You can continue to see your doctor throughout the research study for routine visits and tests. Our study team is available to talk to both you and your doctor if there are any concerns or questions. Working together helps to ensure that other medications or treatments you receive will not be a problem with the research study protocol. However, because these studies are investigational, the result of the study will not be available to individual patients.

Will taking part in a research study cost me anything?

There is no cost to participate, and many research studies offer reimbursement for your time and effort. Compensation depends on the research study and is discussed during the informed consent process.

How long is a research study?

Research studies are designed by a team of expert scientists, physicians, and statisticians. The duration of a research study varies depending on the protocol that this team develops. When you learn about a research study, you will be informed about the time commitment needed before you agree to participate.

Can I talk to other people about the research study?

Besides talking to the study staff, you should minimize sharing your experience in the research study with others. We understand that talking about your experience is an important part of feeling supported, but we ask that you not share information about the research study on social media or with other research study participants. This helps to ensure the most valid and highest-quality scientific results. Our study team is always available to address your questions and concerns.

What if I want to leave a research study?

You can leave the research study at any time and for any reason. You are under no obligation to complete a research study or give a reason why you’re leaving one. Although we do our best to make our research studies as easy as possible for you to take part in, we understand that there are many reasons why finishing may not be possible.

What happens to me after I complete the research study?

After you complete the research study, the study team will talk with you to answer your questions and get your feedback on your overall experience during the trial. As a Science 37 research study participant, you will have access to news and updates about medical discoveries, educational content, and future research opportunities. You will continue to see your local primary doctor or healthcare provider for routine medical care.
