About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of XEN1101 as Adjunctive Therapy in Focal-Onset Seizures

The X-TOLE2 Phase 3 clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of XEN1101 administered as adjunctive therapy in focal-onset seizures.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 360 subjects will be randomized in a blinded manner to one of two active treatment groups or placebo in a 1:1:1 fashion (XEN1101 25 mg : 15 mg : Placebo). Eligible subjects will have up to 9.5 weeks of baseline to assess frequency of seizures, followed by 12 weeks of blinded treatment. In order to be included in the study, subjects must be treated with a stable dose of 1 to 3 allowable antiseizure medications (ASMs) for at least one month prior to screening, during baseline, and throughout the double-blind treatment period (DBP) of the study. During the DBP, subjects will be instructed to orally take XEN1101 or placebo once daily with an evening meal.

Subjects who complete the 12-week DBP will have the opportunity to qualify and enroll in a separate open-label extension (OLE) study for continued treatment with XEN1101. Subjects who do not enroll in the OLE will enter a 8-week post treatment follow-up period.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Median percent change (MPC) in monthly (28 days) focal seizure frequency from baseline to DBP for XEN1101 versus placebo.

    Measured: From baseline through to the double blind period (week 12)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Proportion of subjects experiencing ≥50% reduction in monthly (28 days) focal seizure frequency from baseline through the DBP for XEN1101 versus placebo.

    Measured: From baseline through to the double blind period (week 12)

  2. MPC in weekly (7 days) focal seizure frequency from baseline to Week 1 for XEN1101 versus placebo.

    Measured: From baseline through to the week 1

  3. Proportion of subjects experiencing "at least much improved" (including "much" and "very much improved") in Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C).

    Measured: From baseline through to the double blind period (week 12)

  4. To assess adverse events as criteria for safety and tolerability of XEN1101

    Measured: From screening through to 56 days post-final dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing XEN1101 in people with Focal Onset Seizures, run by Xenon Pharmaceuticals Inc. at 125 sites in 18 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 125 sites in United States, Spain, Australia, Argentina, Germany and 13 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Median percent change (MPC) in monthly (28 days) focal seizure frequency from baseline to DBP for XEN1101 versus placebo. (time frame: From baseline through to the double blind period (week 12)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 May 2026.
