  • Participant is receiving at least one prophylactic antiseizure medication

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participant has another genetic mutation or clinical comorbidity which couldpotentially confound the typical Dravet phenotype

  • Participant has a known central nervous system structural and/or vascularabnormality (indicated by an MRI or CT scan of the brain).

  • Participant has an abnormality that may interfere with CSF distribution and/or hasan existing ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

  • Participant is currently taking or has taken antiseizure medications (ASMs) at atherapeutic dose that are contraindicated in Dravet syndrome, including sodiumchannel blockers.

  • Participant has experienced seizure freedom for a period of 4 consecutive weekswithin the 90-day period prior to informed consent.

  • Participant has previously received gene or cell therapy.

  • Participant is currently enrolled in a clinical trial or receiving aninvestigational therapy.

  • Participant has clinically significant underlying liver disease.
