Measure
ZX008
Participants received ZX008 (fenfluramine hydrochloride) as an oral solution in a concentration of 2.5 milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL). Participants were titrated to an effective dose beginning with 0.2 milligrams per kilogram per day (mg/kg/day) to maximum dose of 30 mg/day. Study medication was administered twice a day (BID) in equally divided doses with food for 12 consecutive weeks, as per main study protocol, ZX008-1503 \[NCT02823145\]. For this substudy, ZX008-1503-SS01, all participants were required to wear the noninvasive Empatica Embrace watch system (EMBRACE) wrist-worn monitoring device.
