Long-term Study of RAP-219 Safety and Effectiveness in Adults with Refractory Focal Seizures

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating RAP-219, an investigational drug, for adults with refractory focal epilepsy, a condition involving difficult-to-control focal seizures. This open-label, multi-center study aims to assess the long-term safety, tolerability, how the drug behaves in the body, and its antiseizure activity in adults who have not responded well to previous treatments. Participants will receive RAP-219 starting with one 0.125 mg capsule daily for 3 days, then one 0.25 mg tablet daily for 28 days, followed by one 0.75 mg tablet daily for the rest of the treatment period. The study is open-label, meaning all participants know they are receiving RAP-219, and the treatment period may last up to 112 weeks with ongoing monitoring. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed for treatment-related side effects and seizure frequency compared to their baseline before treatment. Researchers will monitor seizure-free days, longest seizure-free intervals, and other seizure-related measures using clinical assessments and RNS system data. Safety will be tracked through adverse event reporting up to 8 weeks after the last dose. The total participation duration can be up to about 2 years, with ongoing evaluations throughout.
