Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - XEN496
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: Stage 1: Blinded Dose Transition/Titration - 24-day blinded transition/titration period. Subjects who received XEN496 in the preceding study will continue to receive XEN496 at the same dose, in a blinded manner, without any further titration. Subjects, who were allocated to placebo in the preceding study, will be titrated to a tolerated dose up to a maximum dose of 21 mg/kg/day, with a maximum daily dose of 672 mg/day. To maintain the blinded aspect of the study, placebo will be dispensed to all subjects during the transition/titration period to ensure the total number of capsules are consistent across all subjects.

Subjects who discontinue will be required to taper off study drug over a period of up to 15 days

Experimental: Stage 2: Open-Label Treatment - Optimally-tolerated dose level established during the transition/titration period will be maintained throughout the duration of open-label period unless dose adjustment is required.

Subjects who discontinue or complete the study treatment will be required to taper off study drug over a period of up to 15 days.


Treatment: Drugs: XEN496
XEN496 sprinkle capsules. Parents / caregivers will be instructed to sprinkle and mix the contents of the capsules into soft foods or liquids and feed it to the child.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
Placebo sprinkle capsules. Parents / caregivers will be instructed to sprinkle and mix the contents of the capsules into soft foods or liquids and feed it to the child.

6 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?

Key exclusion criteria
* Any adverse event(s) or serious adverse event(s) during the primary study XPF-009-301, which in the opinion of the investigator and sponsor's medical monitor, would preclude the subject's entry into the OLE study.
* A clinically significant condition or illness, or symptoms other than those resulting from KCNQ2-DEE, present at screening/baseline that, in the opinion of the investigator, would pose a risk to the subject if s/he were to enter the study.
* Any conditions that were specified as exclusion criteria in the primary study, XPF-009-301.
* It is anticipated that the subject will require treatment with at least 1 of the disallowed medications during the study.
* Any change in cardiac rhythm or atrioventricular conduction in the primary study that, in the investigator's opinion, is a significant risk to subject safety.
