NCT00203333
People with epilepsy are at a higher risk for sudden unexpected death than the general population. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a major cause of death in this population, accounting for 10-50% of deaths for those with epilepsy. The risk for SUDEP is particularly high for those with refractory epilepsy. Several lines of evidence support a cardiac mechanism for SUDEP. This study plans to determine: 1. the frequency and types of cardiac arrhythmias that occur in this population and 2. whether these are increased above the general population in the same age group. Additionally, these data will be correlated to specific clinical data, including seizure history, anticonvulsant medications, and any accompanying clinical symptoms.
NCT00264615
Pharmacokinetic (PK) study to characterize changes in serum concentrations in epilepsy patients when switching from LAMICTAL immediate-release to extended-release and vice versa.
NCT00735397
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of perampanel (up to 12 mg/day) given as adjunctive treatment in subjects with refractory partial seizures and to evaluate the maintenance of effect of perampanel for the control of refractory partial seizures.
