Interventions
DRUG
30mg PRAX-628
Once daily oral
Primary outcome measures
To evaluate the efficacy of PRAX-628 on seizure frequency in adults with FOS or PGTCS currently taking ASMs
Time frame: 8 weeks
Median percent change in monthly (28 days) seizure frequency from the Screening/Observation Period to the Treatment Period for PRAX-628
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- A diagnosis of focal onset seizures or idiopathic generalized tonic clonic seizures.
- Evidence by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the past that has ruled out a progressive cause of epilepsy.
- Participant must have been receiving stable doses of allowable ASMs (a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 3 ASMs).
- Participant and/or caregiver (if applicable) self-reports at least 2 countable focal onset seizures per month for focal onset patients, or 1 countable generalized tonic-clonic seizure per month in the 3 months immediately prior to the Screening/Observation Period for PGTCS patients.
Exclusion criteria
- History of pseudo or psychogenic seizures, or cluster seizures only, within the 12-month period preceding study entry where the individual seizures cannot be counted, or an episode of convulsive status epilepticus requiring hospitalization and intubation in the 12 months prior to Screening.
- Planned epilepsy surgery during the course of the clinical trial.
- History of neurosurgery for seizures \<1 year prior to enrollment, or radiosurgery \<2 years prior to enrollment.
- Schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, or other serious mental health disorders.
- Active suicidal plan/intent in the past 6 months, or a history of suicide attempt in the last 2 years, or more than 1 lifetime suicide attempt.
- Participants with a history of malignancy, myeloproliferative or lymphoproliferative disorders within the past 5 years are excluded.
- History of cardiac disease(s)/cardiac conduction disorders/or cardiac structural abnormality(ies).
- Is pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of Screening, or has a positive serum pregnancy test at Screening or is planning to become pregnant during the clinical trial or within 14 days of the last study drug dose.
- Has received any other experimental or investigational drug, device or other therapy within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to Screening, or any prior use of gene therapy.
- Vigabatrin: Use in the last 5 years without stable visual fields tested twice over the 12 months after the last dose of vigabatrin.
- Felbamate: If used as a concomitant ASM, patients must be on felbamate for at least 2 years, with a stable dose for 2 months prior to Screening. If a patient received felbamate in the past, it must have been discontinued 2 months prior to Screening.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
