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.

Cholinergic Enhancement of Theta
Brief Summary: The goal of this study is to learn about the effects of Cobenfy KarXT (xanomeline and trospium chloride) on episodic memory processing, including specific effects on areas of the brain involved in memory and changes it may have on brain activity. The investigators will do this by testing epileptic patients who are already undergoing intracranial surgery for seizure monitoring, and measuring the activity from the brain areas being assessed. The main questions it aims to answer are 1) whether Cobenfy KarXT changes memory activity based on its agonist effect on muscarinic receptors and acetylcholine, and 2) what the nature of these brain activity changes are. This work builds on previous experiments evaluating cholinergic antagonists. Participants will complete two treatment arms. One of these will be with the drug, and the other will be with a placebo pill, so that the participants are unaware which session the actual drug has been received. Patients will complete a verbal serial recall and/or associative recognition task each of the two days. An anesthesiologist or patient nurse will administer either the drug or the placebo at a critical point which addresses both of the research questions. Researchers will compare the brain activity between the two treatment arms to determine what brain activity changes, and whether there is an additional behavioral effect on memory.

Acute Effects of Focused Ultrasound Modulation on EEG Behavior in Status Epilepticus Patients
Brief Summary: In this study, the investigators propose Pulsed Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (PLIFU) stimulation of brain regions that modulate (thalamus) or generate focal motor seizures (primary motor cortex), with the goal of ameliorating seizure activity in subjects in non-convulsive or focal motor status epilepticus. The course of treatment will consist of an initial 10 minute PLIFU treatment session with an option for a 2nd session if necessary. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether PLIFU reduces or suppresses epileptic activity in patients with Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus (NCSE)/Focal Motor Status Epilepticus (FMSE) that have not responded to standard of care.

Forecasting Seizures Using Intelligent Wearable Technology for Health Tracking
Brief Summary: The goal of this interventional study is to develop a personalized seizure risk forecast tool in people with epilepsy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * can we develop a future seizure probabilities tool that is more accurate than chance based on the pattern and frequency of previous generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS) events, as well as changes in physiological and behavioral variables. * does this tool improve the lives of people with epilepsy? Researchers will compare a group that does not have access to the forecast tool to a group that does and see if it is accurate and if people with it report that it improved their quality of life.

A Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of ZX008 in Subjects With CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder
Brief Summary: This is a multicenter, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo controlled, 2-part study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ZX008 when used as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of uncontrolled seizures in children and adults with cyclin-dependent kinase like-5 (CDKL5) deficiency disorder (CDD).

A Study of the Effectiveness of Risk Minimization Measures Related to Depakine® (Sodium Valproate) in Saudi Arabia
Brief Summary: A cross-sectional, national, multicenter, survey-based study to assess the effectiveness of Risk Minimization Measures related to Depakine® (sodium valproate) in Saudi Arabia. The end of study is defined as the end of the data collection period. No intervention will be administered, and no study related visits are required.

An Efficacy and Safety Study of Clemizole HCl in Patients With Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome
Brief Summary: This is a multicenter, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of clemizole HCL (EPX-100) as adjunctive therapy in children and adult participants with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS).

5-SENSE Score Validation Study
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess how well a new scoring system called the 5-SENSE score can predict where seizures start in the brain using Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG). The 5-SENSE Score is a 5-point score based on routine presurgical work-up, designed to assist in predicting whether SEEG can identify a focal seizure onset zone, thereby sparing patients the risk of undergoing this invasive diagnostic procedure.

A Study to Assess utiLity of BIoEP as an Early Prognostic Indicator for Predicting Anti-Seizure Medication (ASM) Efficacy
Brief Summary: This multisite prospective clinical study is to investigate the relationship between seizure type and frequency with the BioEP result during ASM titration in newly diagnosed patients with epilepsy, and to assess the utility of BioEP as an early prognostic indicator of ASM efficacy

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.
