14 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of perampanel as measured by the 50 percent (%) responder rate during the maintenance period of the core study for seizure frequency in participants with pediatric epileptic syndrome (Cohort 1) and partial-onset seizures (POS) (Cohort 2).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of zorevunersen in Patients with Dravet syndrome.
Stoke Therapeutics is evaluating the long-term safety \& tolerability of repeated doses of STK-001 in patients with Dravet syndrome who previously participated in studies of STK-001. Change in seizure frequency and overall clinical status, and quality of life will be measured as secondary endpoints in this open-label study.
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 Dravet syndrome.
Stoke Therapeutics is evaluating the safety and tolerability of single and multiple ascending doses of STK-001 in patients with Dravet syndrome. Change in seizure frequency, overall clinical status, and quality of life will be measured as secondary endpoints in this open-label study.
Refractory epilepsy, meaning epilepsy that no longer responds to medication, is a common neurosurgical indication in children. In such cases, surgery is the treatment of choice. Complete resection of affected brain tissue is associated with highest probability of seizure freedom. However, epileptogenic brain tissue is visually identical to normal brain tissue, complicating complete resection. Modern investigative methods are of limited use. An important subjective assessment during surgery is that affected brain tissue feels stiffer, however there is presently no way to determine this without committing to resecting the affected area. It is hypothesized that intra-operative use of a tonometer (Diaton) will identify abnormal brain tissue stiffness in affected brain relative to normal brain. This will help identify stiffer brain regions without having to resect them. The objective is to determine if intra-operative use of a tonometer to measure brain tissue stiffness will offer additional precision in identifying epileptogenic lesions. In participants with refractory epilepsy, various locations on the cerebral cortex will be identified using standard pre-operative investigations like magnetic resonance imagin (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET). These are areas of presumed normal and abnormal brain where the tonometer will be used during surgery to measure brain tissue stiffness. Brain tissue stiffness measurements will then be compared with results of routine pre-operative and intra-operative tests. Such comparisons will help determine if and to what extent intra-operative brain tissue stiffness measurements correlate with other tests and help identify epileptogenic brain tissue. 24 participants have already undergone intra-operative brain tonometry. Results in these participants are encouraging: abnormally high brain tissue stiffness measurements have consistently been identified and significantly associated with abnormal brain tissue. If the tonometer adequately identifies epileptogenic brain tissue through brain tissue stiffness measurements, it is possible that resection of identified tissue could lead to better post-operative outcomes, lowering seizure recurrences and neurological deficits.
To allow open-label extension to patients who have completed Protocol 1042-0500
The study consists of cohorts where participants are randomized, in a 2:1 ratio, to 1 of 2 sequences, A and B. In each cohort, Sequence A, comprised of participants, who will receive ascending doses of ganaxolone and ascending doses of placebo. Sequence B, comprised of participants, who will receive ascending doses of placebo and ascending doses of ganaxolone. The dosing level in each subsequent cohort will be based upon experience gained from previous cohorts.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect on the frequency of all seizures (convulsive and drop) in participants treated with TAK-935 compared to placebo.
This study was designed to evaluate the cognitive effect, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of rufinamide on Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) inadequately controlled in pediatric participants already taking other anti-epileptic drugs.
There is limited data on outcomes for children who have undergone deep brain stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders, and individual centers performing this surgery often lack sufficient cases to power research studies adequately. This study aims to develop a multicenter pediatric DBS registry that allows multiple sites to share clinical pediatric DBS data. The primary goals are to enable large-scale, well-powered analyses of the safety and efficacy of DBS in the pediatric population and to further explore and refine DBS as a therapeutic option for children with dystonia and other hyperkinetic movement disorders. Given the current scarcity of evidence available to clinicians, this centralized multicenter repository of clinical data is critical for addressing key research questions and improving clinical practice for pediatric DBS.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of adjunctive GWP42003-P in participants \< 2 years of age with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), or Dravet syndrome (DS).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of retigabine/ezogabine as an adjunctive treatment in subjects with either partial onset seizures (12 to \< 18 years old) or Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (12 to \<30 years old) who have participated in a previous ("parent") study.
The purpose of this study is to systematically evaluate the results of medical investigations to identify symptom and biological patterns and common etiologies of neurodevelopmental disorders.
