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.
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.

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).

An Extended Access Program (EAP) for Participants Who Have Completed Rufinamide Study E2080-G000-303
Brief Summary: This is an extended access study for participants who have completed Rufinamide Study E2080-G000-303 to continue to have access to rufinamide until it becomes commercially available in Poland or until no participants remain in the EAP.

Etiology and Treatment of Neonatal Seizure
Brief Summary: Genetic diagnosis for neonates suffering from epilepsy has important implications for treatment, prognosis, and development of precision medicine strategies. Investigator performed exome sequencing (ES) or targeted sequencing on neonates with seizure onset within the first month of life. Investigator subgrouped our patients based on the onset age of seizure into neonatal and before 1 year (1-12 months), to compare the clinical and genetic features and treatment strategies.

The Effect of Sleep Hygiene Given to Epilepsy Patients on Seizure Frequency and Sleep Quality
Brief Summary: Epilepsy is a disease that can be seen in everyone, including neurological, chronic, elderly and children. An estimated 50 million people in the world have epilepsy, patients have a history of two or more seizures, the exact cause is unknown, it negatively affects home, work and school life, and it directs individuals from their independent roles to semi-dependent and fully dependent roles (Smith \& Wagner \& Jonathan, 2015). "Neuronal networks hypersynchronization" develops epileptic seizures, can cause insomnia, and sleep quality may decrease with drug treatment (Sünter and Ağan, 2019). NREM sleep causes seizures through the "ictal and interactive effect" of sleep (Alp and Altındağ, 2014). Insomnia increases seizure discharges, neurological and systemic complications may develop, and serious morbidity and mortality may occur (Özer, 2005). Epilepsy patients frequently experience daytime sleepiness and nighttime insomnia (Gümüşyayla and Vural, 2017). Complementary medical approaches are also recommended along with drug treatment. Sleep hygiene training is recommended for sleep health in epilepsy as in chronic diseases. With good sleep health, symptoms can be eliminated and sequelae can be prevented by reducing epileptic discharges (Gammino at all., 2016). Quality sleep is essential for physiological and psychological health, and sleep disorders can be corrected with sleep hygiene training (Günaş, 2018). Randomized studies including sleep hygiene training are needed to prevent seizure recurrences, prevent or treat comorbid psychological diseases, and improve life activities of epilepsy patients (Lee at all., 2015). One-third of people's lives are spent in sleep, regular and adequate sleep protects physiological and psychological health, sleep hygiene training contributes to the recovery of sleep disorders and accompanying psychological comorbid diseases, sleep hygiene training is cost-free and easy to implement, where daily activities and behaviors are regulated, appropriate environmental conditions are provided. By regulating the circadian rhythm, melatonin is released during sleep at night and sleep disorders are prevented by preventing excessive cortisol release (http://www.psikiyatri.net/uyku-hijyeni / Access date: 28 May 2022; Alp and Altındağ, 2014; Güneş, 2018). . No research has been found on sleep hygiene training to relieve sleep deprivation, which is common in epilepsy patients. With good sleep hygiene, sleep and quality of life can be improved and epileptic seizures can be prevented or reduced. Purpose of the research; To determine the effect of sleep hygiene training given to epilepsy patients on seizure frequency and sleep quality. Non-drug clinical research is an experimentally planned research with a pre-test post-test control group trial model.

A Multicenter Selective Screening Study to Investigate the Frequency of Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuxinosis Type 2 (CLN2)
Brief Summary: This study is a multicenter, non-drug screening study. Enrollment period is 12 months. There are no IMP to be followed or used in the study. Patients who applied to Pediatric Metabolism, Pediatric Neurology and Developmental Pediatrics clinics with the symptoms or findings defined in the protocol as below for 12 months will be included in the study. Children between the ages of 2 and 6, without hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, head trauma and developmental brain anomalies, who are admitted to the Pediatric Metabolism, Pediatric Neurology and Developmental Pediatrics clinics with non-specific neurological symptoms such as idiopathic seizures of unknown etiology, speech disorders and motor dysfunctions, will constitute the target population of the study.

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.
