Filter by:This study is being conducted to demonstrate that perampanel given as adjunctive anti-epileptic treatment is superior to placebo in reducing the number of drop seizures in participants with inadequately controlled seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS).
The investigators propose to study the effects of cannabidiol (CBD) on cardiac electrical function and the autonomic nervous system in children with Dravet syndrome (DS) and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), when the CBD is administered as an artisanal oil obtained through state dispensaries or other sources. The intent is to begin to assess potential risks and benefits of this therapy in a vulnerable patient population by characterizing the effects of CBD on EKG findings, heart rate variability and the occurrence of seizures.
Background: Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a severe childhood epileptic syndrome with high pharmacoresistance. The treatment outcomes are still unsatisfied. The investigator previous study of cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in children with focal epilepsy showed significant reduction in epileptiform discharges. The investigator hypothesized that cathodal tDCS when applied over the primary motor cortex (M1) combined with pharmacologic treatment will be more effective for reducing seizure frequency in participants with LGS than pharmacologic treatment alone. Material and Method: Study participants were randomized to receive either: 1. pharmacologic treatment with 5-consecutive days of 2 milliampere (mA) cathodal tDCS over M1 for 20 min or 2. pharmacologic treatment plus sham tDCS. Measures of seizure frequency and epileptic discharges were performed before treatment and again immediately post-treatment and 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-week follow-up.
In this trial, the potential anti-epileptic effect of low dose fenfluramine in Lennox Gastaut epilepsy will be studied. An exploratory dose finding add-on trial is proposed. At baseline and at the end of the study, ECG and ultrasound of the heart will be performed as part of the safety follow up.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of PINS vagus nerve stimulatior in children with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome.
This Phase 3 trial will enroll participants diagnosed with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) who are still experiencing at least 4 motor seizures involving the trunk or extremities per week, despite ongoing treatment with up to 3 antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria. Following a 28-day baseline period, participants will begin an 84-day treatment period. Participants will be assigned to receive twice daily doses of placebo or cannabidiol oral solution at the highest dose determined to be safe in a previous trial. Following study completion, all participants will be invited to receive Cannabidiol Oral Solution in an open label extension study (under a separate protocol).
The main objective of this EAP is to ensure that participants participating in Study E2007-G000-332, Study E2007-G000-311, E2007-G000-238, E2007-G000-338 or EAP E2007-G000-401 continue to have access to perampanel until such time that the appropriate formulation of perampanel becomes commercially available in the country in which they reside or until no participants remain in the EAP.
To evaluate the efficacy of GWP42003-P as adjunctive treatment in reducing the number of drop seizures when compared with placebo, in participants with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS).
To investigate the potential antiepileptic effects of cannabidiol (GWP42003-P) in children and adults with Dravet or Lennox-Gastaut syndromes.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of GWP42003-P as adjunctive treatment in reducing the number of drop seizures when compared with placebo in participants with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS).
