Active clinical trials for "Seizures"

This is a Phase 1/2, open-label trial designed to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of 3 multiple ascending doses of Cannabidiol Oral Solution in a sequential fashion. Participants will be pediatric (aged 1-17, inclusive), experiencing treatment-resistant seizures, and satisfy all inclusion/exclusion criteria.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 200 and 400 mg/day of orally administered Lacosamide as adjunctive therapy compared with placebo in Japanese and Chinese adults with uncontrolled Partial-Onset Seizures with or without secondary generalization.

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of two trough-ranges of everolimus given as adjunctive therapy in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) who had refractory partial-onset seizures. The study consisted of 4 phases for each patient Baseline phase:[From Screening Week -8 (V1) to randomization visit at Week 0 (V2)], Core phase [from randomization at Week 0 (V2) to Week 18 (V11)], Extension phase [from Week 18 (V11) until 48 weeks after the last patient had completed the core phase] and Post Extension phase [from end of Extension phase to end of study].

This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled dose response study, with an 8-week prospective baseline and an 18 week double-blind treatment period (including a 6-week titration phase and 12 week maintenance phase), followed by a 3-week blinded study drug taper period (for subjects leaving the study) or a 2-week blinded conversion period (for subjects who will participate in the open-label extension). The primary objective of this study is to determine the effective dose range of YKP3089 as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of partial seizures. The trial will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of YKP3089 in the partial epilepsy population.

The purpose of this study is to see the effects of non-invasive vagal nerve stimulation for the reduction in frequency of seizure associated with epilepsy in subjects 18 or older.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Epidiolex at various doses between 5 mg/kg/day and 50 mg/kg/day as an additional (add-on) drug for treating debilitating, drug-resistant epilepsy.

This is a 12 month safety study to evaluate the safety of repeated doses of NRL-1

To evaluate the effects of eslicarbazepine acetate on cognition in comparison with placebo as adjunctive therapy in children aged 6 to 16 years old with refractory partial-onset seizures.

This is a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, parallel group, dose-ranging study to investigate the efficacy and clinical usability of STAP-001 in adult (18 years of age and older) subjects with epilepsy with a predictable seizure pattern. These subjects have an established diagnosis of focal or generalized epilepsy with a documented history of predictable seizure episodes. This is an in-patient study. The subjects will be admitted to a Clinical Research Unit (CRU) or Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) for study participation. The duration of the stay in the in-patient unit will be 2-8 days. One seizure event per subject will be treated with study medication. The duration and timing of the seizure event and occurrence of subsequent seizures will be assessed by the Staff Caregiver(s)1 through clinical observation and confirmed with video electroencephalogram (EEG).

The purpose of this study is to compare the results of combining two anesthetic medications (dexmedetomidine and propofol) in low doses with a standard dose of a single drug that is commonly used to provide sedation/anesthesia for MRI studies in young children (propofol). The drugs used for the MRI scan in this study will be chosen randomly. Half the patients will receive small doses of propofol and dexmedetomidine. The other half will receive propofol administered constantly throughout the scan. Other drugs that may be used include sevoflurane and nitrous oxide at the start of the sedation (for placing an intravenous), lidocaine (to reduce the pain of propofol injection) and glycopyrrolate (to prevent the heart rate from decreasing too low. The investigators will record 5 additional blood pressures and heart rates. If additional medications are required to complete the scan, the investigators will administer whatever is necessary. At the end of the study, the investigators will have an observer record the time it takes for participants to spontaneously open eyes , to be able to drink liquids and/or eat and to behave as before the study. Also, it is very important that the investigators find out from participants about changes in behavior, or if eating or sleeping habits were unusual following completion of the study. For that reason, the investigators will call participants in a day or so following the MRI scan. The investigators expect to recruit 40 children between the ages of 12 and 72 months for the study and hope to have the study completed in December 2018.
