A Clinical Trial of PRAX-222 in Pediatric Participants With Early Onset SCN2A Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy

Purpose

The goal of this trial is to learn about the effect of PRAX-222 in pediatric participants with early onset SCN2A developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE), aged 2 to 18 years.

Conditions

  • SCN2A-DEE
  • Epilepsy
