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.

Investigate Efficacy and Safety of Carisbamate as Adjunctive Treatment for Seizures Associated With LGS in Children and Adults
Brief Summary: The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of carisbamate (YKP509) as adjunctive treatment in reducing the number of drop seizures (tonic, atonic, and tonic-clonic) compared with placebo in pediatric and adult subjects (age 4-55 years) diagnosed with Lennox Gastaut Syndrome (LGS).

Self-management Intervention for Reducing Epilepsy Burden Among Ugandans With Epilepsy.
Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of self management intervention for reducing epilepsy burden among Ugandans with epilepsy (SMART- U) vs. enhanced treatment as usual (eTAU) via an RCT in adults with epilepsy. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * What is the efficacy of SMART - Uganda (SMART-U) versus enhanced treatment as usual (eTAU) among PWE? * How does short message service (SMS) delivered by mobile phone text validate self-reported seizure occurrence? Participants will be randomly (1:1 basis) assigned to receive either SMART-U (N=94) or eTAU (N=94) using block randomization. SMART-U will consist of 2 main components: a 12-week "intensive" group format stage and a 12-week remotely accessed telephone follow-up stage. Individuals randomized to eTAU will continue in their usual care supplemented by written materials on epilepsy in their preferred language and tailored to the reading level of most patients at the clinic. If there is a comparison group: The investigators will compare the mean change in seizure frequency and quality of life from baseline and 24 weeks of follow up.

REACH: RWE Retrospective Study to Evaluate Cenobamate Impact on Health Care Resource Utilization
Brief Summary: The Study is an observational, retrospective study which aim is to assess cenobamate's healthcare resources utilization (HCRU) in the management of uncontrolled focal onset seizures. The amin objective is to compare the resource utilization before and after the use of cenobamate. Data from medical charts will be used and inserted into the eCRF from which the analyses will be conducted. Data from 200 patients from 10 sites in 5 countries are included.

Study of the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of ZONISADE in Children 1 Month to 17 Years of Age With Partial-onset Seizures
Brief Summary: The purpose of this research is to determine the optimal dose, safety and tolerability of zonisamide oral suspension in children ages 1 month to 17 years of age who have partial-onset (focal) seizures. The study consists of four periods: a Screening Period (about 14 days), a Titration Period (8 weeks), a Maintenance Period (4 weeks), and a Follow-Up Period (1 week).

This Study Will Assess the Etiology, Potential Risk Factors, and Seizure Types in Patients Over 50 With Epileptic Seizure Disorder, Using Laboratory Tests, EEG, and Neuroimaging Findings.
Brief Summary: This study underscores the importance of studying the etiology, clinical characteristics, and types of epilepsy in the elderly to improve diagnosis and management in our community.

Subjective and Audiological Benefit of BONEBRIDGE (BCI602) With Two Different Fitting Strategies
Brief Summary: The Bonebridge (BB) is a partially implantable active transcutaneous bone conduction hearing system manufactured by MED-EL Elektromedizinische Geräte Gesellschaft m.b.H. (MED-EL, Innsbruck, Austria). The BB augments hearing by providing acoustic input to the inner ear via bone conduction. In 2017 Hodgetts \& Scollie introduced a new fitting algorithm called DSL-BCD. The DSL-BCD algorithm was developed especially for the characteristics of bone conduction devices (BCD). If there is a benefit on the patient level in hearing outcomes when comparing the application of DSL-BCD in comparison to DSL v5 when using the BB, was not yet investigated. The aim of this clinical study is to show the improvement in audiological performance and subjective satisfaction with the BCI602 and SAMBA 2 audio processor in patients with conductive hearing loss compared to the unaided condition and to evaluate performance differences through application of 2 different fitting algorithms, namely DSL v5 and DSL-BCD.

A Pilot Study: Focused Ultrasound Thalamotomy for the Prevention of Secondary Generalization in Focal Onset Epilepsy
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of unilateral focused ultrasound thalamotomy in adults with focal onset epilepsy whose medicines are not working well. The ExAblate (ExAblate) transcranial system is the name of the device that will be used to create and send ultrasound waves through the scalp and skull precisely to a small structure located in the center of the brain. This structure is known as the "Anterior Nucleus", and is an important region in the brain that may cause seizures. Safety will be measured by recording and analyzing the frequency of side effects throughout participation. Feasibility will be measured by the ability to create a lesion in the anterior nucleus.

Longitudinal Study of Neurogenetic Disorders
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to analyze patterns in individuals with hnRNP (and other) genetic variants, including their neurological comorbidities, other medical problems and any treatment. The investigators will maintain an ongoing database of medical data that is otherwise being collected for routine medical care. The investigators will also collect data prospectively in the form of questionnaires, neuropsychological assessments, motor assessments, and electroencephalography to examine the landscape of deleterious variants in these genes.

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.
