Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Neuroinflammation in cortical and/or subcortical structures
Neuroinflammation in cortical and/or subcortical structures of the brain in patients with Infantile Spasms will be evaluated with 11-C-PK11195 PET scan at the baseline and 2 weeks after the completion of ACTH treatment (given over 4 weeks), i.e., 6 weeks after the baseline PET scan.
