Filter by:In Oslo University Hospital, department of complex epilepsy, offer ketogenic diet to treat children with medically intractable epilepsy. From 2009 we added modified Atkins diet as a treatment option for children up to 18 years. We now initiate an open, prospective, randomized and controlled study with the aim to test the efficacy of treatment with modified Atkins diet in adults with focal and generalized epilepsy diagnoses, in order to evaluate whether this treatment should be offered to patients on a permanent basis.
The purpose is to obtain data on the safety and seizure frequency associated with long-term oral Lacosamide for uncontrolled primary generalized tonic-clonic (PGTC) seizures in subjects with idiopathic generalized Epilepsy. Additionally, to allow subjects who have completed SP0961 (NCT01118949) to continue to receive Lacosamide.
The purpose is to assess the safety of Lacosamide in subjects with uncontrolled Primary Generalized Tonic-Clonic (PGTC) seizures with Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy.
This study is intended to provide evidence that zonisamide is safe and effective in the treatment of myoclonic seizures. The total planned trial duration will be 6.5 months. After that, subjects who have completed the study will be eligible to enroll in an open-label extension study until zonisamide is marketed for this indication or further development in this indication stops. This extension study will be described in a separate protocol (E2090-E044-318).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of clobazam as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of seizures which lead to drop attacks (drop seizures) in patients 2 to 60 years of age with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS). Patients will be enrolled at approximately 65 sites in the U.S. and ex-US for up to 23 weeks. Patients will be randomly assigned to either a low, medium or high dose, or placebo. The study will include a baseline period, a titration period and a maintenance period. After the maintenance period, patients will either continue into an open-label extension study or enter the taper period with a final visit 1 week after the last dose.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Vanquix for the management of selected, refractory, patients with epilepsy who require intermittent medical intervention provided by caregivers who are not health care professionals, and who are not under the direct supervision of a healthcare professional at the time of administration to control episodes of acute repetitive seizures (ARS).
The purpose of this study is to identify patient characteristics (such as baseline seizure frequency) that may predict effective doses of topiramate using just that one drug (monotherapy) as initial therapy for epilepsy. Topiramate is an anti-epileptic drug that is approved for the treatment of epilepsy in adults and children 2 years of age and above.
The purpose of this study is to assess a possible predictor for weight loss seen in epilepsy patients treated with topiramate.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of two doses of topiramate as monotherapy in the treatment of pediatric and adult patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent epilepsy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of clobazam as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of seizures which lead to drop attacks (drop seizures) in subjects 2 to 30 years of age with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS). Subjects will be enrolled at approximately 10 investigational sites in the U.S. for up to 15 weeks. Subjects will be randomly assigned to either a low dose or a high dose. The study will include a baseline period, a titration period and a maintenance period. After the maintenance period, subjects will either continue into an open-label extension study or enter the taper period with a final visit 1 week after the last dose.
