What is the Purpose of this Study?

We are doing this study to find out if an experimental drug called Zorevunersen (the study drug) can effectively reduce the frequency of major motor seizures for children who have Dravet syndrome.

What is Involved?

If you choose to enroll your child in the study, they will:

Get a random assignment (like a coin flip) to either get the study drug or undergo sham procedures (phony injections that do not deliver any study drug)

Get 4 doses of the study drug or sham procedures over the course of about 40 weeks

Visit our clinic 9 times over the course of the study (approximately 60 weeks)

The study drug is given as an injection (shot) into the fluid-filled area between the tissues that cover and protect the spinal cord. All participants will have fluid (cerebrospinal fluid) samples taken from this area at four different timepoints. Participants who are assigned to get the study drug will also have the drug administered immediately after the sample is drawn. Participants who are assigned to the get the sham procedure will have no drug delivered after the sample is drawn.
