valproic acid and Spasms, Infantile

valproic acid has been researched along with Spasms, Infantile in 93 studies

Valproic Acid: A fatty acid with anticonvulsant and anti-manic properties that is used in the treatment of EPILEPSY and BIPOLAR DISORDER. The mechanisms of its therapeutic actions are not well understood. It may act by increasing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID levels in the brain or by altering the properties of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.
valproic acid : A branched-chain saturated fatty acid that comprises of a propyl substituent on a pentanoic acid stem.

Spasms, Infantile: An epileptic syndrome characterized by the triad of infantile spasms, hypsarrhythmia, and arrest of psychomotor development at seizure onset. The majority present between 3-12 months of age, with spasms consisting of combinations of brief flexor or extensor movements of the head, trunk, and limbs. The condition is divided into two forms: cryptogenic (idiopathic) and symptomatic (secondary to a known disease process such as intrauterine infections; nervous system abnormalities; BRAIN DISEASES, METABOLIC, INBORN; prematurity; perinatal asphyxia; TUBEROUS SCLEROSIS; etc.).

Trial Outcomes

Change From Baseline in Median Monthly Convulsive Seizure Frequency

Change between baseline and Week 14 in the median number of monthly convulsive seizures. (NCT03861871)
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 14

InterventionNumber of monthly seizures (Median)
Fenfluramine Hydrochloride88.429

Change in Caregiver Global Impression of Change (CGIC) Score

The CGIC is a 1-item, parent/caregiver-completed assessment used determine how much their child/care-recipient has improved with treatment. The instrument asks parents/caregivers to rate their child's/care-recipient's improvement as: 1) very much improved; 2) much improved; 3) minimally improved; 4) unchanged; 5) a little worse; 6) much worse; 7) very much worse; the total score correspondingly ranges from 1-7. (NCT03861871)
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 14

Change in Investigator Global Impression of Change (IGIC) Score

The IGIC is a 1-item, investigator-completed assessment used determine how much a patient has improved with treatment. The instrument asks the investigator to rate patients' improvement as: 1) very much improved; 2) much improved; 3) minimally improved; 4) unchanged; 5) a little worse; 6) much worse; 7) very much worse; the total score correspondingly ranges from 1-7.

Change in Pediatric Quality Of Life (PEDS-QL) Epilepsy Module Raw Score

The PedsQL Epilepsy Module is a 29-item measure with five scales: Impact, Cognitive, Sleep, Executive Function, and Mood/Behavior. The Impact scale (nine items) assesses how epilepsy interferes with daily activities, interacting with peers, independence, and increased disease burden due to treatment. The Cognitive Scale (six items) assesses memory, ability to learn new materials, school-related difficulties, and reading difficulties. The Sleep Scale (three items) assesses fatigue and sleep difficulties. The Executive Function Scale (six items) assesses organization, task initiation, impulsivity, and inattention. The Mood/Behavior Scale (five items) assesses feelings of anger, sadness, worries, and frustration tolerance. Scores range from 0-100 for each subscale, with higher scores representing better quality of life. The raw score is the sum of each subscale score and ranges from 0-500. (NCT03861871)
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 14

Interventionscore on a scale (Mean)
Fenfluramine Hydrochloride-103.571

Change in Quality of Life in Childhood Epilepsy (QOLCE) Score

Parent/caregiver-completed assessment assessing how epilepsy affects day-to-day functioning of their child/care-recipient in various life areas. Each item is ranked on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (response correlated with the lowest possible quality of life) to 5 (response correlated with the highest possible quality of life). Item scores are then transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 1 = 0, 2 = 25, 3 = 50, 4=75, and 5=100. The total score is the average of all item scores and ranges from 0-100. Higher scores indicate greater quality of life; an increase in scores indicates quality of life increased during the observational period. (NCT03861871)
