Featured Epilepsy Studies

The following are epilepsy studies that apply to particular groups within the Seizure Tracker™ population. Click a title to expand its details.
STARS
The STARS study is searching for people who experience prolonged epileptic seizures (i.e. lasting more than 3 minutes) to join this clinical research study. The STARS Study is testing an inhaler containing an investigational drug that has been designed to potentially stop a prolonged seizure once it has begun.

If you or the person you care for are experiencing prolonged seizures, consider participating in the STARS study.

Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance
The TSC Biosample Repository stores samples of blood, DNA, and tissues from individuals affected by TSC that scientists can use in their research. The samples we collect are linked to clinical data in the TSC Natural History Database. These samples and linked clinical data help researchers conduct experiments to find biomarkers of TSC, test potential drug treatments, and determine why TSC is so different from person to person.

Implemented in 2006, the TSC Natural History Database captures clinical data to document the impact of the disease on a person’s health over his or her lifetime. More than 2,000 people with TSC are enrolled in the project across 18 U.S.-based clinical sites and the TSC Alliance. The TSC Alliance provides funding to participating clinics to perform data entry, monitors the integrity of the database, and makes data available to investigators to answer specific research questions and identify potential participants for clinical trials and studies.
Description: Study design is a Phase IIb prospective multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial. The goal will be to enroll 80 infants with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex who are less than 6 months of age prior to the onset of their first seizure.

Roll-over Study to Collect and Assess Long-term Safety of Everolimus in Patients With TSC and Refractory Seizures Who Have Completed the EXIST-3 Study [CRAD001M2304] and Who Are Benefitting From Continued Treatment
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety in patients with TSC and refractory seizures who are currently receiving everolimus treatment in the Novartis-sponsored EXIST-3 study and who are determined to be benefiting from continued treatment as judged by the investigator at the completion of EXIST-3

Honeycomb: Evaluation of Radiprodil in Children with GRIN-related Disorder
Brief Summary: Study RAD-GRIN-101 is a phase 1B trial to assess safety, tolerability, PK, and potential efficacy of radiprodil for the treatment of GRIN-related disorder in children with a Gain-of-Function (GoF) genetic variant. The study is open-label, so all participants will be treated with radiprodil. Subjects' participation in the study is expected to last up to six months in Part A. After the end of part A, all participants who are still eligible can choose to continue to receive radiprodil as part of an open-label long-term treatment period (Part B).

Improving Status Epilepticus Treatment Times
Brief Summary: This is a stepped-wedge cluster randomized effectiveness-implementation hybrid study aimed at determining the effect of dissemination of a QI bundle on the time to treatment of SE among hospitalized, non-critically ill children. The primary study endpoint is to decrease the time from the SE diagnosis to treatment with the first dose of a benzodiazepine (BZD) as measured during hospitalization, which will decrease chances of morbidity and mortality.

Prehospital Early Administration of Ketamine for Status Epilepticus in Epileptic Kids (PEAK-SEEK)
Brief Summary: The goal of this pragmatic, decentralized, pre-consented, event-driven, randomized controlled trial is to investigate the efficacy of add-on ketamine to second-dose midazolam for prehospital treatment of epileptic children with convulsive status epilepticus.

Comparison in New Cochlear Implanted Subjects of a Tonotopy-based Bimodal Fitting With or Without Synchronization
Brief Summary: Main objective: For a bimodal fitting (hearing aid (HA) + cochlear implant (CI)): Comparison of a tonotopy based fitting strategy with synchronization between HA and CI (ABFS) to a tonotopy based fitting strategy without synchronization (ABFnoS) for the accuracy of sound localization. Secondary objectives: Comparison of ABFS to ABFnoS for the bias of sound localization. Comparison of ABFS to ABFnoS for speech perception in noise. Comparison of ABFS to ABFnoS for the auditory skills experienced by the subject.

A Study Evaluating NPT 2042 Versus Placebo in Subjects Aged 16-75 Years With Genetic Generalized Epilepsy (GGE) and Absence Seizures
Brief Summary: This study will compare the effect of NPT 2042 and placebo in subjects with GGE on the frequency and duration of electroencephalographic absence seizures, separated by a 14-day washout period. The study will be a single-center, double-blind, crossover study with subjects receiving either NPT 2042 80 mg BID orally or matching placebo BID in each of two treatment periods.

Retraining and Control Therapy (ReACT)- Adults
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess sense of control and catastrophic symptom expectations as targets for Retraining and Control Therapy (ReACT- an intervention focused on changing behaviors and thoughts) for treatment of adult psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES, episodes resembling epileptic seizures but with no correlated epileptiform activity). 19 years and older participants diagnosed with PNES who are treated at UAB FND clinic will engage in twelve sessions of ReACT. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three conditions: no wait, 3-month waiting period, 6-month waiting period. Sense of control over actions will be measured by the magic and turbulence task, a well-validated measure of sense of control. Participants will complete the cold pressor test (CPT) in which participants hold their hand in cool water for as long as possible up to 3 minutes. Catastrophic symptom expectations in response to the CPT will be measured by Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), pain tolerance (time with hand in water) and cortisol response. Target assessments occur 7 days before treatment and 7 days after the 12th treatment session. Participants randomized to the 3-month and 6-month waiting period will also complete these measures one additional time immediately before the beginning of their waiting period. Long term follow-up assessments will occur at 2 months, 6 months and 12 months after the 12th treatment session. PNES frequency will be measured from 30 days before to 12 months after treatment. Participants randomized to the 3-month or 6-month waiting period conditions will log weekly PNES episodes until the start of therapy.

Why Participate in Clinical Trials?
  • The treatments for seizures will not improve without patients participating in research.
  • Clinical trials help us understand if a promising new medication or device is safe.
  • Participating in a research study may give you access to a therapy not available to others with epilepsy.
  • Clinical trials not only research medication, they can also focus on disease prevention and quality of life.
