NCT03208660
This study is conducted to assess the retention rate of Fycompa when given in routine clinical care.
NCT00938431
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of LCM syrup in children ages from 1 month to 17 years with uncontrolled partial seizures when added to 1 to 3 other antiepileptic drugs (AEDs).
NCT00175825
This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of brivaracetam (at doses of 5, 20 and 50 mg/day in twice a day administration) as add-on therapy in subjects with focal epilepsy.
NCT02316847
This study will assess long-term safety and tolerability of repeat dose diazepam nasal spray in adolescents and adults with cluster seizures, with a focus on potential local effects (changes in nasal mucosa, olfaction, and taste).
NCT00520741
The objective of this historical-controlled trial is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of conversion to Lacosamide monotherapy in subjects with Partial-onset Seizures who are withdrawn from 1 to 2 marketed antiepileptic drugs.
NCT00910247
This is a long term, open-label, safety extension study in subjects with partial onset seizures.
NCT00655486
The purpose of this study is to allow eligible subjects from the parent study, SP925 \[NCT00655551\] to continue lacosamide and to obtain additional long-term safety data
NCT02564029
PF-06372865 in subjects with photosensitive epilepsy
NCT01128959
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of intravenous (IV) carbamazepine (CBZ) administered as multiple 15 minute infusions and a single 5 minute infusion to adult patients with epilepsy on stable higher doses of oral CBZ.
NCT00699283
Antiepileptic Drugs (AEDs) are the main treatment for epilepsy; however, only a limited number of AEDs are approved for use as monotherapy. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of BRV in the conversion of partial onset seizure patients from combination treatment to monotherapy.
NCT01161524
This study is designed to investigate the short- and long-term effects of perampanel on cognition, growth, and development in adolescents.
NCT01969851
SP0966 is an exploratory study to investigate safety and efficacy of Lacosamide (LCM) in children with epilepsy syndromes associated with generalized seizures. LCM will be added to current antiepileptic treatment.
NCT01118949
The purpose is to assess the safety of Lacosamide in subjects with uncontrolled Primary Generalized Tonic-Clonic (PGTC) seizures with Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy.
NCT01728077
N01372 study is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, maintenance of efficacy of Brivaracetam (BRV); as well as the effect of BRV on subjects' health-related quality of life and to explore the direct medical resource use for BRV (for subjects entering N01372 from a study where pharmacoeconomic data was collected). BRV will be used at doses up to maximum of 200 mg/day, as adjunctive treatment in subjects aged 16 years or older with Epilepsy.
NCT00860145
This study will compare radiosurgery (focused radiation, Gamma Knife Radiosurgery) with temporal lobectomy (standard surgical care) as a treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy. Patients who have seizures that begin in their temporal lobe that are not controlled with medications into the trial will be offered entry. Patients with a high likelihood of having their seizures controlled with open surgery will have treatment randomized between the standard surgery and radiosurgery. A prior study has shown that focused radiation (radiosurgery) may also reduce or eliminate seizures arising from the temporal lobe. The main study hypothesis is that radiosurgery is as safe and effective as temporal lobectomy in treating patients with seizures arising from the medial temporal lobe.
NCT02491073
The purpose of this research study is to determine if the blood tests used to measure free thyroid hormone levels are affected by a drug called eslicarbazepine acetate. To determine if eslicarbazepine acetate interferes with these blood tests, blood samples will be analysed so that researchers can compare different types of lab tests that measure these thyroid hormones. Half of the people who participate in this study will already be taking eslicarbazepine acetate either as a study drug or as a prescription (Part 1) and the other half will be people who do not take eslicarbazepine acetate (Part 2).
NCT00026637
To define the benefits of antidepressant treatment or cognitive behavior therapy on mood, function, and quality of life in persons with depression and refractory epilepsy.
NCT00001192
This study will allow researchers to use various types of tests to evaluate cognitive and sensory functions. These tests, referred to as "batteries" will evaluate attention, executive functions, general intellectual functioning, language, memory, motor functions, orientation, personality, selected sensory and perceptual functions, vigilance (alertness), and visual-spatial functions. Children and adult patient will receive different test batteries. The goals of this research study are to; 1. Create descriptions based on the performance of each patient on the test batteries. Then use this information to relate patient behavior to their neurophysiological, neuroradiological, and biochemical descriptions. 2. Define subgroups of patients based on their neurobehavior in order to decrease the variability of psychiatric diagnoses, treatments, and prognoses.
NCT01405508
This is a multicenter, open-label, 4-arm, randomized, parallel-group study to evaluate safety and tolerability of Brivaracetam Intravenous (BRV iv) as adjunctive treatment for adults with epilepsy according to an initiation or a conversion scheme, during repeated dosing (100 mg/administration twice daily for 4.5 days).
NCT01054599
Many patients with epilepsy have memory deficits in the setting of otherwise normal intelligence. Unfortunately, the treatment options for memory dysfunction in patients with epilepsy are limited. The investigators are conducting a study to evaluate the effects of memantine for the treatment of verbal memory dysfunction in subjects with localization-related seizures. The study involves randomization to memantine therapy or placebo, with cognitive testing and EEG pre- and post-treatment, as well as after an open-label memantine treatment phase. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of memantine for the treatment of verbal memory dysfunction in subjects with left temporal lobe epilepsy. The investigators expect that verbal memory task performance will improve in those taking memantine, but not in those taking a placebo. The investigators propose that the expected benefit of memantine is specific to verbal memory in subjects with left temporal lobe seizures, rather than representing an overall improvement in cognitive function. The investigators expect no improvement on other cognitive tasks in either the memantine or placebo groups. The investigators will evaluate whether subjects with left temporal lobe epilepsy and memory difficulties have self-reported improvement in memory while taking memantine. The investigators expect improvement of self-rated memory function on the Quality of Life in Epilepsy Patient Inventory (QOLIE-89) in the memantine group, but no change on this scale in the placebo group.
