The study will evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of pregabalin in pediatric patients, age 1 month through 16 years, with partial onset seizures.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of multiple doses of pregabalin in pediatric patients with partial onset seizures that are incompletely controlled on their current medications.
Patients with partial seizures currently taking 1-3 antiepileptic medications will have a 50:50 chance to receive Lyrica 300 mg per day or placebo (no active ingredients) added on to their current medications for 3 months. Neither the study doctor nor the patient will know the medication assignment. Vision testing will be performed prior to receiving the study treatment and at the end of the study to see if there are any changes.
To compare outcomes over 12 months of treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) alone or vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy plus AEDs in patients who have partial seizures refractory to at least two, but not more than five, AEDs.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of levetiracetam used as adjunctive treatment in pediatric subjects age 1 month to less than 4 years with partial onset seizures. Subjects will be evaluated with 48 hour inpatient video electroencephalograms (a selection and an evaluation). Other neuropsychological clinical assessments will be performed during the 34 day length of the study.
To allow pediatric patients with partial onset seizures an opportunity to receive (as follow-up to studies N01009(NCT00105040)/N01103(NCT00175890) or by direct enrollment) open-label levetiracetam treatment, continue studying cognition and behavior in children, and continue collection of safety/efficacy data.
This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of UCB44212 as add-on therapy in subjects with focal epilepsy.
This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ucb 44212 as add on therapy in subjects with focal epilepsy.
Subjects enrolled in the SP615, SP756, or SP774 open-label extension (OLE) trials receiving oral SPM 927 for at least 8 weeks and a stable dose of up to 3 antiepileptic medications may participate in a research trial at approximately 30 locations. Trial objectives include investigating whether iv SPM 927 is safe and well tolerated when given twice daily for a short period of time and identifying the appropriate infusion rate(s). Subjects will receive SPM 927 as a 30-, 15- or 10- minute infusions twice daily for 2 - 5 days based on notification by the research doctor and subject choice. Subjects will remain on the same stable dose as received in the OLE trial. Trial procedures will include medical history update, physical/ neurological exams, ECGs, blood /urine sample collections and seizure diary completion. Subjects completing the trial will return to the OLE trial to resume dosing with oral SPM 927.
A 12-week Evaluation Period will be used to characterize potential cognitive and neuropsychological effects of LEV (20 - 60 mg/kg/day), as adjunctive treatment in children 4 - 16 years old, inclusive, with refractory partial onset seizures when compared to adjunctive treatment with placebo.
To assess the magnitude and duration of reduction in RNS recorded Detections and Long Episodes following intranasal administration of Valtoco®. All participants will have been implanted and treated with an RNS system for clinical purposes and regularly upload Detection and Long Episode data on a regular basis as part of regular clinical treatment. Participants will come to the clinic and be administered a single dose of Valtoco® via nasal spray. RNS recorded Detections and Long Episodes before and after Valtoco® administration will be compared. This is a pilot study, so all outcomes are exploratory.
Evaluate the initial safety and effectiveness of Microburst VNS stimulation in subjects with refractory epilepsy.
Seizures that arise in specific areas in the brain are called Localization Related Epilepsy (LRE) and are the most common seizure disorder in children. Children that receive drug treatment for this disorder may suffer from treatment related side effects which impact their ability to think or concentrate and their ability to interact socially. These negative treatment effects can impact the child's performance in school and long term may impact employment and job options. This study will determine whether changes in attention and social interactions are seen in children treated for LRE using three of the most common medications used to treat pediatric LRE. Children who are newly diagnosed with LRE by their doctors and are between the ages of 5 years 6 months and 16 years 0 months will be randomized to receive levetiracetam, lamotrigine, or oxcarbazepine. There will be 14 study sites throughout the US. Children will undergo evaluation of their thinking and ability to pay attention before and after starting drug treatment for LRE. Regardless of the specific findings, results of this study will provide the information needed to help parents and their clinicians choose treatment options that maximize cognitive abilities in children with LRE, and provide the data needed for practice guidelines to be established on the basis of cognitive side effect risks.
This study is being conducted to determine the effectiveness of a lower monotherapy dose of lamotrigine than that currently approved.
To evaluate the long-term safety of pregabalin in refractory partial epilepsy.
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).
The purpose of the initial screening study is to find out if immune problems are an unrecognized cause of epilepsy in some patients. This study consists of a single blood sample, which will be tested for possible immune abnormalities. If enough patients are found who show immune abnormalities, those patients who are still having uncontrolled seizures will be invited to participate in a study of immune treatment with a compound called intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). The study hypothesis is that a significant proportion of the young-onset, refractory, image-negative, partial-onset epilepsy population have an underlying autoimmune disorder, and many of these patients will respond to immune therapies, including IVIG. At present, the importance of immune abnormalities in causing epilepsy, and the proper treatment when they are found, are both poorly understood. The investigators hope that this study will help us understand the cause of some cases that are difficult to treat.
Approximately 30% percent of subjects with partial seizures are refractory to treatment with single or combination antiepileptic drugs. The present study will compare the efficacy of two different dosages of pregabalin CR dosed once daily as compared to placebo, when used as adjunctive therapy in subjects requiring adjunctive therapy for partial onset epilepsy, using a randomized, parallel group design.
This study is being conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of LAMICTAL (lamotrigine) extended-release with placebo in the treatment of partial seizures. LAMICTAL extended-release is an investigational drug. Placebo tablets look like LAMICTAL extended-release tablets but do not contain active medication. In this study, LAMICTAL extended-release or placebo tablets will be added to current seizure treatments.
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.
This study will aim to improve retention and tolerability by slowing the initial titration rate of perampanel from a standard up-titration rate of 2 week intervals to a slower up-titration rate consisting of 3 week intervals. Subjects will be randomized to either perampanel, standard titration interval rate (Group A) or perampanel, slower titration interval rate (Group B).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of lacosamide (LCM) in pediatric subjects.
