NCT00264810
The RNS® System Pivotal study is designed to assess safety and demonstrate that the RNS® System is effective as an adjunctive (add-on) therapy in reducing the frequency of seizures in individuals 18 years of age or older with partial onset seizures from no more than two foci (two areas of the brain) that are refractory (drug-resistant or hard-to-treat) to two or more antiepileptic medications. Patients continue to receive their epilepsy medications while participating in the study.
NCT00141414
To evaluate the long-term safety of pregabalin in refractory partial epilepsy.
NCT00021866
The purpose of this study is to determine if antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) differ in their neurodevelopmental effects. Specifically, do the children of the women with epilepsy differ in their behavioral and cognitive development depending on which AED their mother takes during pregnancy?
NCT01048255
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of VX-765 in subjects with Treatment-resistant Partial Epilepsy
NCT00158067
This feasibility clinical investigation is designed to demonstrate that the NeuroPace external Responsive Neurostimulator (model eRNS-300) can safely deliver responsive electrical stimulation automatically to affect epileptiform activity. The eRNS-300 is based on an implantable neurostimulator that has been adapted for acute, external use in a hospital setting.
NCT00353886
The specific aim of this study is to determine if in utero exposure produces differential antiepileptic drug (AED) effects on subsequent cognitive abilities and behavioral abnormalities in children
NCT01399528
This is an observational study exploring the genetics of lacosamide response. The study will last 3 years and has been divided in to three stages; 1) recruitment, 2) observational phase, 3) genotyping and analysis. Patients initiating lacosamide are recruited and their baseline seizure frequency is assessed retrospectively. Patients are then monitored for 18 months with an assessment (via interview and where possible seizure diaries) of seizure frequency and other treatment related phenotypes every 3 months. The recruitment period will span months 1-12, the observational period will span months 1-30 and analysis of data will be conducted between months 30-36 (see Figure 2 below). Target sample size is 610. Primary objective: To determine the clinical relevance of genetic variation in predicting lacosamide responsive and non-responsive patients. Secondary objectives: To determine the clinical relevance of genetic variation in predicting: * Optimal dose of lacosamide * Adverse drug reactions to lacosamide
NCT00143143
The primary purpose of the protocol is to evaluate the long-term safety of pregabalin in patients with partial seizures.
