New drug shows promise in reducing seizures for Tough-to-Treat epilepsy

NCT ID NCT03083665

Completed Disease control Sponsor: UCB Biopharma SRL Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study tested whether adding a new medication called brivaracetam helps reduce the number of partial seizures in people with epilepsy. It involved 449 participants aged 16 to 80 who were still having seizures despite taking one or two other anti-seizure drugs. The goal was to see if brivaracetam was safe and more effective than a placebo (inactive pill) at controlling seizures over a 12-week period.
