This study plans to learn if certain markers found during electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis could predict fenfluramine responsiveness to give clinicians greater insight into the effectiveness of fenfluramine in people with Lennox Gastaut Syndrome (LGS).
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
20
Patients who receive fenfluramine will be enrolled in this non-interventional study.

Number of participants who have concordance between electroencephalogram (EEG) changes and clinical responsiveness in patients diagnosed with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) undergoing treatment with fenfluramine after 6 months.
Time frame: from EEG prior to fenfluarmine initiation to follow up EEG 6 months after
Number of participants whose specific EEG biomarkers are predicative of clinical responsiveness to fenfluramine treatment before, during, and after fenfluramine treatment
Time frame: from EEG prior to fenfluarmine initiation to follow up EEG 6 months after
Change from baseline differences of longitudinal EEG dynamics before and during fenfluramine therapy, including changes in background activity, paroxysmal fast activity, epileptiform discharges, and sleep architecture.
Time frame: from EEG prior to fenfluarmine initiation to follow up EEG 6 months after
Number of clinical responders and non-responders to fenfluramine treatment measured by differences in quantitative EEG variables after 6 months
Time frame: from EEG prior to fenfluramine initiation to follow up EEG 6 months after
Change from baseline in quality of life scores on the Ped-QL epilepsy or QL-Epilepsy after 6 months
Time frame: from prior to EEG initiation to 6 months after
