This study tests an investigational drug called relutrigine in 160 children with a severe form of epilepsy called developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). The goal is to see if the drug can safely reduce monthly seizure frequency compared to a placebo. After the initial …

This trial is testing an experimental drug called PRAX-222 in children aged 2 to 18 who have a rare, severe form of epilepsy caused by changes in the SCN2A gene. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and can reduce how often seizures happen. Participants will receive either PRAX…

This study follows 158 people in France who are prescribed Epidyolex (a cannabidiol-based medicine) for seizures as part of their normal care. Researchers will track how long people stay on the treatment, side effects, seizure frequency, and changes in daily functioning and quali…

This early-stage study tests a gene therapy called ETX101 in 5 children with Dravet syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy. The therapy delivers a gene that helps calm overactive brain cells. Researchers will check if it safely reduces seizure frequency and improves thinking and dai…

This study follows about 111 people with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Dravet syndrome, or tuberous sclerosis complex who are taking Epidyolex (a CBD oral solution) for seizures. Researchers track how many stay on the drug for a year and how many seizure-free days they have. It's an o…

This Phase 3 study tests whether fenfluramine (ZX008) can safely reduce seizures in 87 children and adults with CDKL5 deficiency disorder, a rare genetic condition causing severe epilepsy. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo, followed by an open-label extension wher…

This study offers fenfluramine to people with Dravet syndrome whose seizures have not improved with other medications. The goal is to provide access to the drug and monitor its safety. Participants must have a genetic diagnosis of Dravet syndrome and have tried all available seiz…

This pilot study tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) of specific brain pathways can safely reduce seizures in people with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy. Five participants receive the electrical stimulation as an add-on to their usual treatment. The goa…

This study looks at the long-term safety of an experimental drug called zorevunersen (STK-001) in 60 people with Dravet syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy. Participants must have completed an earlier STK-001 study. Researchers will monitor side effects, seizure frequency, and qu…

This study tests a new medicine called PRAX-562 in 77 children with rare genetic epilepsies (SCN2A or SCN8A). The goal is to see if it safely reduces motor seizures. The trial has two parts: a double-blind phase where some children get the drug and some get a placebo, followed by…

This program provides expanded access to the drug stiripentol for people aged 6 months and older with Dravet syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy. The goal is to help control seizures that do not respond to other treatments. Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis and meet sa…

This early-phase trial is testing whether glycerol phenylbutyrate (Ravicti), a drug already approved for a different condition, is safe and tolerable for children with genetic disorders like STXBP1 and SLC6A1 that cause seizures and developmental delays. The study will enroll 50 …

This study tests a brain-responsive neurostimulation system in 24 people aged 12 and older with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome whose seizures are not controlled by medication. The device detects and responds to seizure activity in the brain to reduce drop seizures. The goal is to see if…

This study tests a gene therapy called ETX101 in 4 children with Dravet syndrome, a severe seizure disorder caused by a gene change. The therapy uses a harmless virus to deliver a working copy of the gene to brain cells. The main goals are to see if it is safe and if it reduces s…

This program provides continued access to the seizure medication perampanel (Fycompa) for people who completed certain earlier studies and are still benefiting from the drug. It runs until the drug is commercially available in their country or no participants remain. Only those a…

This study offers voluntary screening for newborns in North Carolina to detect a wide range of rare health conditions early. Using a small blood sample already collected at birth, the program tests for dozens of disorders, including spinal muscular atrophy, cystic fibrosis, and m…

This study tests the long-term safety of an inhaled medication called Staccato alprazolam for people aged 12 and older who have prolonged seizures. About 300 participants will use the inhaler when a seizure starts to see if it stops the seizure quickly and without serious side ef…

This observational study aims to measure how many people in Portugal have Dravet syndrome (DS) or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), two rare and severe forms of epilepsy. Researchers will review existing medical records from about three public hospitals to estimate the percentage of…

This study looks at whether specific brain wave patterns on an EEG can predict how well the drug fenfluramine works for people with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS), a severe form of epilepsy. Researchers will follow 20 children and adults aged 2 to 35 who are already taking fenflur…

This study follows 154 people taking Epidiolex (cannabidiol) for seizures caused by Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Dravet syndrome, or tuberous sclerosis complex. Researchers will monitor for signs of chronic liver injury and fibrosis over time using blood tests and liver scans. The go…

This study follows children aged 6 to 21 who have a CNKSR2 gene mutation, which can cause epilepsy, language difficulties, and intellectual disability. Researchers will use brain scans, EEGs, and developmental tests to track how the condition changes over time. The goal is to cre…

This study creates a registry for up to 500 people with CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder (CDD), a rare genetic condition that causes seizures and developmental delays. Patients and their caregivers will provide information about symptoms, treatments, and quality of life over several yea…

This study looks at how repeated seizures affect breathing and heart function in people with Dravet syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy. Researchers will monitor 92 children and adults for 24-48 hours using video, brain wave, heart, and breathing recordings. The goal is to find c…
