NCT05077904
The purpose of the study is to assess the success of a single administration of Staccato alprazolam compared with placebo both in rapidly terminating a seizure episode within 90 seconds and with no recurrence of seizure(s) up to 2 hours after investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration.
NCT06425159
The purpose of this study is to determine whether BHV-7000 is effective in the treatment of idiopathic generalized epilepsy with generalized tonic-clonic seizures and includes an additional open-label extension (OLE) phase.
NCT06422923
This is a multicenter, single arm, open label clinical trial that is designed to test the safety and preliminary efficacy of single administration inhibitory nerve cells called interneurons (NRTX-1001), into both temporal lobes of subjects with drug-resistant bilateral mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.
NCT07281027
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether two existing medications-anakinra and tocilizumab-can effectively treat a rare and life-threatening brain condition called NORSE (New-Onset Refractory Status Epilepticus). NORSE causes continuous seizures in previously healthy children and adults and does not respond to standard treatments. It often leads to long-term disability or death. Doctors currently use anakinra and tocilizumab as second-line treatments when first-line therapies fail, but there is no clear evidence showing which drug works better or when it should be given. This study aims to answer those questions. The study will enroll patients across 33 hospitals in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. It includes two groups: 1. Randomized Cohort Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either anakinra or tocilizumab within the first 7 days of their illness. Only patients whose doctors were already planning to use one of these medications as part of standard care will be eligible for randomization. Researchers will monitor their recovery and compare outcomes between the two treatments. 2. Observational Cohort Patients who cannot be randomized-usually because they were diagnosed too late-will still be followed to study how the timing of treatment affects recovery. Participants will: * Receive one of the two medications (depending on their group assignment). * Take part in follow-up assessments over the course of one year, including medical evaluations and surveys. Some participants may be followed annually beyond one year. * Optionally participate in a 60-minute interview to share their or their caregiver's experience with NORSE.
NCT01364597
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of brivaracetam in pediatric subjects with epilepsy.
NCT05288283
The primary aim of Part A of the study to assess the efficacy and tolerability of GWP42003-P compared to placebo as an adjunctive treatment for children with Epilepsy with myoclonic-atonic seizures (EMAS) -associated seizures. Part B of this study will be conducted to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of GWP42003-P in participants with EMAS.
NCT04664608
The purpose of this study is to understand if a new, smart, wireless EEG developed by our team can be used to monitor the continuous electrical activity of the brain in the ICU and EMU and whether it works as well as the current standard, wired EEGs.
NCT02670161
The investigators will conduct at NorthShore University HealthSystem pragmatic trials using the EMR for 10 common neurological disorders. They will demonstrate the feasibility of subgroup based adaptive assignment of treatments, electronic consenting, and outcomes data capture at the point of care using the EMR. They will identify the most effective treatments for common neurological disorders and seek replication by the NPBRN.
NCT05667142
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety, and tolerability of XEN1101 administered as adjunctive treatment in primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (PGTCS).
NCT03529045
Multicenter global post-market registry of subjects diagnosed with drug resistant epilepsy and treated with the VNS Therapy System.
NCT04519645
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of lacosamide (LCM) versus an Active Comparator chosen based on standard of care (StOC) in severe and nonsevere seizure burden (defined as total minutes of electroencephalographic neonatal seizures (ENS) per hour) in neonates with seizures that are not adequately controlled with previous anti-epileptic drug (AED) treatment.
NCT04705441
SMART is a program for adult individuals with sub-optimally controlled epilepsy. It involves educational and behavioral interventions intended to enhance epilepsy self-management. The group sessions are conducted remotely over the teleconferencing application, Zoom. These sessions are held over an 8 week time period and are co-lead by a trained nurse educator and a trained peer educator. The peer educator is someone with epilepsy and a history of NHEs. Educators use a written curriculum delivered online, and the interactive sessions last 60-90 minutes. Groups are limited to about 6 -12 adult participants. After the group sessions are done, individuals have 3 telephone maintenance sessions with the nurse educator once a month for the first 3 months after the group sessions end spaced approximately 4 weeks apart. SMART is intended for adults with epilepsy, especially those who belong to disadvantaged sub groups such as rural populations, veterans with epilepsy and those who are underinsured. People with epilepsy who belong to disadvantaged sub-groups are more likely to have poor outcomes and often end up using expensive crisis-oriented care, and thus potentially might benefit the most from self-management programs if they can be actively engaged.
NCT04686786
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of CVL-865 as adjunctive therapy in participants with focal onset seizures.
NCT04244175
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if CVL-865, when taken regularly with other anti-seizure medicines, works to prevent seizures in adults with drug-resistant focal onset seizures. It will also learn about the safety of CVL-865. The main question it aims to answer is whether CVL-865, when taken regularly with other anti-seizure medicines, lowers the number of seizures in those with a diagnosis of epilepsy with drug-resistant focal onset seizures. This study has an 8-week Screening/Baseline Period, a 13-week Treatment Period (including a 2-week Titration Phase, an 8-week Maintenance Phase, and a 3-week Taper Phase), and a 4-week Safety Follow-Up Period. Participants will take CVL-865 or a placebo twice a day during the 10-13 week Treatment Period, visit the clinic every few weeks for checkups, tests, and surveys, and fill out an e-Diary.
NCT04903314
The primary objective of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of cenobamate (YKP3089) in pediatric subjects with partial-onset (focal) seizures following single and multiple-dosing.
NCT04897776
The goal is to provide a novel therapeutic option for temporal lobe epilepsy patients when focal impaired awareness seizures cannot be stopped by medications, surgical or laser ablation, or by neurostimulation. The goal is restore consciousness when seizures cannot be stopped. If successful, addition of bilateral thalamic stimulation to existing responsive neurostimulation to rescue consciousness would greatly alter clinical practice and patient outcomes. Importantly, previous approaches aim to stop seizures, whereas this study aims to use thalamic stimulation to improve a major negative consequence when seizures cannot be stopped. The potential impact extends beyond temporal lobe epilepsy to other seizure types, and may also extend more broadly to inform treatment of other brain disorders associated with impaired consciousness and cognition.
NCT04286776
The purpose of this research is to understand biomarkers of human memory through correlational analyses and to use focal electrical stimulation as a causal manipulation to understand how biomarkers of memory relate to other brain states and behavioral measures.
NCT04457687
The primary purpose of this study is to provide continued access of lorcaserin to participants with Dravet syndrome and other refractory epilepsies.
NCT05339126
To generate preliminary safety and effectiveness data for brain-responsive neurostimulation of thalamocortical networks as an adjunctive therapy in reducing the frequency of generalized seizures in individuals 12 years of age or older with Lennox Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) who are refractory to antiseizure medications. The intent is to determine the feasibility and the optimal design of a subsequent pivotal study in order to expand the indication for use for the RNS System as a treatment for patients with medically intractable LGS.
NCT06144957
SLC13A5 deficiency (Citrate Transporter Disorder, EIEE 25) is a rare genetic disorder with neurodevelopmental delays and seizure onset in the first few days of life. This natural history study is designed to address the lack of understanding of disease progression. Additionally it will identify clinical and biomarker endpoints for use in future clinical trials.
