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.
NCT07110688
In this program, the investigators will develop novel multimodal neural-behavioral-physiological monitoring tools (software and hardware), and machine learning models for mental states within social processes and beyond. The tools consist of a multimodal skin-like wearable sensor for physiological and biochemical sensing; a conversational virtual human platform to evoke naturalistic social processes; audiovisual affect recognition software; synchronization tools; and machine learning methods to model the multimodal data. The investigators will demonstrate the tools in healthy subjects without neural recordings and in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy who already have intracranial EEG (iEEG) electrodes implanted based on clinical criteria for standard monitoring to localize seizures, which is unrelated to our study.
NCT04457687
The primary purpose of this study is to provide continued access of lorcaserin to participants with Dravet syndrome and other refractory epilepsies.
NCT04344626
Refractory epilepsy, meaning epilepsy that no longer responds to medication, is a common neurosurgical indication in children. In such cases, surgery is the treatment of choice. Complete resection of affected brain tissue is associated with highest probability of seizure freedom. However, epileptogenic brain tissue is visually identical to normal brain tissue, complicating complete resection. Modern investigative methods are of limited use. An important subjective assessment during surgery is that affected brain tissue feels stiffer, however there is presently no way to determine this without committing to resecting the affected area. It is hypothesized that intra-operative use of a tonometer (Diaton) will identify abnormal brain tissue stiffness in affected brain relative to normal brain. This will help identify stiffer brain regions without having to resect them. The objective is to determine if intra-operative use of a tonometer to measure brain tissue stiffness will offer additional precision in identifying epileptogenic lesions. In participants with refractory epilepsy, various locations on the cerebral cortex will be identified using standard pre-operative investigations like magnetic resonance imagin (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET). These are areas of presumed normal and abnormal brain where the tonometer will be used during surgery to measure brain tissue stiffness. Brain tissue stiffness measurements will then be compared with results of routine pre-operative and intra-operative tests. Such comparisons will help determine if and to what extent intra-operative brain tissue stiffness measurements correlate with other tests and help identify epileptogenic brain tissue. 24 participants have already undergone intra-operative brain tonometry. Results in these participants are encouraging: abnormally high brain tissue stiffness measurements have consistently been identified and significantly associated with abnormal brain tissue. If the tonometer adequately identifies epileptogenic brain tissue through brain tissue stiffness measurements, it is possible that resection of identified tissue could lead to better post-operative outcomes, lowering seizure recurrences and neurological deficits.
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.
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.
NCT06555965
The purpose of this study is to find out more about STXBP1 and SYNGAP1 related disorders. The information gathered by this study will be used to prepare for clinical treatment trials. The primary objective of the study is to better define and outline the clinical spectrum of STXBP1 and SYNGAP1 through detailed developmental, seizure, and quality of life assessments as an extension of routine clinical care.
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.
NCT06038617
This is a prospective, randomized, open-label clinical trial to evaluate the safety of COVID-19 vaccination and other routine childhood vaccines given simultaneously at Visit 1, as compared to sequential vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines at separate visits (Visits 1 and 2).
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.
NCT03531008

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.
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.
