NCT ID: NCT00465244 Withdrawn - Seizures Clinical Trials

Seizure Therapy With Intravenous Levetiracetam and Lorazepam

STILL
Start date: January 2008
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The overarching aim of STILL is assessment of IV LEV in the management of seizures in the ED setting. The main study endpoints are considered in the two patient groups of interest (SE and non-SE): - For non-SE patients, STILL will compare IV LEV vs. the current standard-care of placebo, with respect to the following questions: - Does IV LEV administration result in lower seizure duration and/or recurrence rate than does administration of placebo? (Ho: No difference in seizure duration or recurrence rates between the two groups.) - Is IV LEV associated with a different rate of significant side effects than placebo? (Ho: No difference in significant side effect rates between the two groups.) - For SE patients, STILL will compare [IV LEV + lorazepam 2mg] vs. [lorazepam 3 mg], with respect to the following questions: - Does addition of IV LEV to a BZD allow for a BZD-sparing effect (i.e. achievement of seizure control with lower dose of BZD)? (Ho: No difference in seizure duration and/or recurrence rates between the two groups.) - Is IV LEV + lower-dose BZD associated with a different rate of significant side effects than the higher-dose BZD administered as monotherapy? (Ho: No difference in significant side effect rates between the two groups.)

NCT ID: NCT00415376 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

Levetiracetam in Treating Patients With Seizures Caused by Brain Metastases

Start date: February 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Anticonvulsant drugs, such as levetiracetam, may help control seizures caused by brain metastases. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and how well levetiracetam works in treating patients with seizures caused by brain metastases.

NCT ID: NCT00279851 Withdrawn - Hypoglycemia Clinical Trials

Blood Sugars in Children With Idiopathic Seizures.

Start date: February 2006
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a significant percentage of children with the diagnosis of idiopathic seizures who have undiagnosed or unrecognized hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
