Filter by:Phase 2A single-arm exploratory clinical study in up to 12 adult subjects aged 18 and older with primary glioma, IDH1 mutation, and uncontrolled focal-onset seizure activity to determine the potential efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of ES-481 as adjunctive therapy in glioma-associated epilepsy and to assess for potential anti-tumorigenic effects.
To investigate the potential antiseizure effects of adjunctive XEN496 (ezogabine) compared with placebo in children with KCNQ2 Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy (KCNQ2-DEE).
The investigators are recruiting children with Rolandic epilepsy and children without epilepsy (aged 4 years old and above) for a non-invasive brain imaging study using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Magnetoencephalography/Electroencephalography (MEG/EEG), and experimental tasks. The investigators hope to determine the brain circuits and brain rhythms affected in these children and ultimately identify new treatment options for childhood epilepsy patients.
In Spain, an estimated 690,000 persons have epilepsy, of whom 270,000 have active epilepsy (defined as those who have had a seizure in the last 5 years). It is estimated that 30% of patients diagnosed with epilepsy are drug-resistant. Patients with loss of consciousness or impaired awareness during seizures are at higher risk of injury due to accidents. To prevent such injuries, it is important that patients are sufficiently knowledgeable about their disease to allow them to avoid risk behavior. In this project, we want to know if visualization of self seizures has an impact on the perception of the severity of the disease, as well as on the risky behavior habits.
The incidence of provoked and unprovoked seizures is known to increase with advancing age. Eslicarbazepine acetate (ESL) is one of the third generation of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) that have been developed in the last ten years with a favorable safety profile. ESL is approved in Europe and the USA as adjunctive or monotherapy in adults with partial-onset seizures. Nevertheless, retrospective data in monotherapy condition in the elderly epileptic population are sparse. The aim of the ZEBRE study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of ESL in elderly epileptic patients (> 65 years). The completion of this study will provide crucial information on the most appropriate ESL treatment for elderly patients suffering from partial seizures.
The main purpose of this study is to validate the ability of the Nelli system (video-based epilepsy examination system) to detect epileptic motor seizure behaviors in patients at rest.
The "North Carolina Clinical Genomic Evaluation by Next-gen Exome Sequencing, 2 (NCGENES 2)" study is part of a larger consortium project investigating the clinical utility, or net benefit of an intervention on patient and family well-being as well as diagnostic efficacy, management planning, and medical outcomes. A clinical trial will be implemented to compare (1) first-line exome sequencing to usual care and (2) participant pre-visit preparation to no pre-visit preparation. The study will use a randomized controlled design, with 2x2 factorial design, coupled with patient-reported outcomes and comprehensive clinical data collection addressing key outcomes, to determine the net impact of diagnostic results and secondary findings.
