All
Target Recruitment
20
Inclusion Criteria
  • Male or female, > 1 day to ≤ 5 years of age at the time of informed consent.
  • Diagnosed with seizure disorder
  • Presence of a STXBP1 gene mutation. Historical documentation is sufficient to support eligibility for the study. Confirmatory testing will be obtained at baseline and performed by a CLIA certified laboratory
  • Written informed consent provided by a parent or legal guardian
Exclusion Criteria
  • History of prior gene therapy treatment
  • Current enrollment in an interventional study or has received an investigational drug within 30 days or fewer than 5 half-lives prior to screening visit, whichever is longer
  • Treatment with any antisense oligonucleotide therapy within 6 months prior to screening and anticipate remaining on treatment throughout the study
  • The presence of a confirmed mutation in a gene other than STXPB1 that is known to contribute to a neurodevelopmental disability
  • Presence of a significant non-STXBP1 related central nervous impairment/behavioral disturbance that would confound the scientific rigor or interpretation of results of the study
  • History of prematurity (defined as gestational age <35 weeks), interventricular hemorrhage, structural brain deficit or congenital heart disease
  • Requires mechanical ventilation or non-invasive respiratory support such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) at the time of informed consent

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in neurodevelopment parameters over time utilizing an age appropriate assessment.2 Years

The determination of whether a patient received Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children-II (KABC-II) is based on an algorithm that includes the patient's calendar age and VABS-II age-equivalent score (See Outcome 1). The KABC-II is an individually administered measure of processing and reasoning abilities. The scoring range is 69 and below through 131 or greater. Higher scores mean a better outcome.

Changes in seizure frequency over time2 Years

Seizure diary

Changes in neurodevelopmental parameters of adaptive behavior function over time utilizing the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-II (VABS-II) Age-equivalent Scores2 Years

The Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition (Survey Interview Form) is a measure of adaptive behavior in children, adolescents and adults. It yields an overall standard score (Adaptive Behavior Composite, ABC) and age standard scores in four domains. ABC scores have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 (range = 20 to 160). Higher scores suggest a higher level of adaptive functioning.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in electroencephalogram (EEG) recording over time2 Years

Standard EEG, lasting approximately 1 hour, to assess the presence of epileptiform activity.

Changes in communication ability over time2 Years

Observer-Reported Communication Ability (ORCA) Outcome Measure. The ORCA measure produces a single score that is an estimate of an individual's overall level of communication ability. Higher ORCA scores reflect greater communication ability; the mastery of expressive, receptive, and pragmatic types of communication and higher vocabularies for verbal words and symbols on assistive devices. The ORCA T-score range is from 26.82 to 83.24.

Changes in sleep behavior over time2 Years

Patient sleep habits will be assessed using Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaires (CSHQ).

Changes in motor function over time utilizing an age appropriate assessment.2 Years

The Gross Motor Function Measure-88 is aimed to be used for children 5 months or older of age and assess changes in gross motor function over time. Each item is scored 0-3, higher scores mean a better outcome.
