Official title:
A Shortened Antiepileptic Drug (AED) Course in Surgical Brain Tumor Patients: A Randomized Trial

Study type | Interventional |
The purpose of this study is to see if there are any differences in patient reported neurotoxicity between patients who receive Levetiracetam tablets for one week after surgery to remove a brain tumor versus those who receive Levetiracetam tablets for six weeks after surgery. Specifically, we will see if one group has less side effects than the other, and whether or not one group has more seizures than the other.

Primary | Change in Neurotoxicity Scale Scores | The Neurotoxicity Scale is as a validated 27 question, patient-reported measure for assessing the adverse effects of antiepileptic drugs on cognitive function. Patients self-report "no problem", "a mild problem", "a moderate problem" or "a serious problem" for each question corresponding to a score of 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively. For each patient, the overall score was formed by summing scores in all 27 questions. The minimum possible score is 0 and the maximum possible total score is 81. A lower score indicates less toxicity when taking an antiepileptic drug. The outcome is a score change from baseline at the 6 week follow-up and is calculated by subtracting the baseline score from the 6 week follow-up score for each patient. | Baseline to 6 weeks |
