Filter by:The goal of the present study is to obtain pilot data on efficacy and safety of clobazam add-on treatment on adults with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. This will be an open label study comparing seizure frequency during 12 weeks of baseline observation period with seizure frequency during 16 weeks of clobazam adjunctive treatment. 10 adults aged 18-65 with focal seizures that have failed to respond to ≥ 4 antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) +/- respective surgery will be enrolled. Following a baseline of 12 weeks patients will be started on clobazam, administered orally in b.i.d. schedule. In patients in whom seizure diaries have been kept prospectively prior to study screening visit, retrospective baseline will be accepted. Patients will be titrated up to either seizure freedom, to side effects or to 40 mg/day, whichever comes first. Titration rate will be not be forced. It is anticipated that the majority of subjects will have a 4 week-long titration period. After maximum dose is achieved, maintenance treatment will last for 12 weeks.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of levetiracetam , lacosamide and ketamine treatment of refractory status epilepticus. This will be a randomized, open-label, four-arm pilot study comparing time to cessation of refractory status epilepticus, determined by continuous EEG monitoring, in patients with refractory status epilepticus. Patients with status epilepticus who have been treated with standard dose lorazepam (or midazolam) and ≥ 1000 mg phenytoin with documented levels of ≥20 mg/ml and continue to have clinical status epilepticus for ≥1-24 hours after phenytoin loading will receive intravenously (i.v.) either 4000 mg levetiracetam, 600 mg lacosamide (Group B), 2.5 mg/kg ketamine or phenobarbital 15 mg/kg phenobarbital (Group D)
The purpose of this randomized uncontrolled single-site trial is to evaluate the efficacy of two novel computerized cognitive enhancing software packages for improving cognitive and behavioral outcomes in patients with epilepsy.
This is a multi-center, open-label, single-arm, phase 4 study to evaluate the efficacy of perampanel added to monotherapy for partial onset seizures with or without secondarily generalized seizures (total seizures).
This study evaluates the pharmacokinetic and safety of NRL-1 in epilepsy subjects. Subjects will receive a single intranasal dose of NRL-1 of either 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg or 20 mg and will be based on the subject's body weight.
The purpose of this post-marketing surveillance is to observe the following items regarding the safety profile of Fycompa (Perampanel) film-coated tablets and oral suspension in normal clinical practice setting: serious adverse event/adverse drug reaction profile, unexpected adverse event/adverse drug reaction profile, already known adverse drug reaction profile, non-serious adverse event profile and other information related to the product's safety and effectiveness.
This is a 12 month safety study to evaluate the safety of repeated doses of NRL-1
EP0060 is a multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of intravenous (iv) Lacosamide (LCM) in pediatric subjects >= 1 month to < 17 years of age with epilepsy.
This randomised trial is undertaken to assess whether MAD or LGIT is non-inferior to KD with regard to seizure control at twenty-four weeks among children with drug resistant epilepsy. The hypothesis of the study is that in 1 to 15-year-old children with drug resistant epilepsy, use of Modified Atkins Diet (MAD) or Low Glycemic Index Therapy (LGIT) as an add on to the ongoing anti-epileptic drugs would not be inferior to ketogenic diet by >15% in terms of seizure reduction from baseline seizure frequency at 24 weeks. The primary outcome of the study is to determine the efficacy of MAD as compared to KD and LGIT as compared to KD for seizure reduction in drug resistant epilepsy following 24 weeks of dietary therapy in 1 to 15-year-old children on anti-epileptic drugs. The change in seizure frequency will be estimated as percentage change in seizure reduction at 24 weeks as compared to baseline.
Some epilepsy patients are described as GB when they have worsened seizures or side effects related to switching between brand name and generic, or between generic antiepileptic drug (AED) products. In concert with Aim 1 (protocol BEEP2a), this study will uncover possible reasons for patient problems with the drug switching. Factors that will be studied in GB epilepsy patients include physiologic, psychological, and genetic factors, including in this protocol whether brand and generic AEDs are pharmacokinetically similar in GB individuals.
