NCT ID NCT06453213

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether cenobamate, already approved for epilepsy, works well when used alone in adults with partial-onset seizures. About 49 participants will take either 100 mg or 200 mg daily, and researchers will track how many become seizure-free for 26 weeks. The goal is to gather more data on its effectiveness as a monotherapy.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm cenobamate as a reliable monotherapy option for adults with partial-onset seizures, offering better seizure control.

What could go wrong

This is a small, open-label Phase 4 study with no placebo group, so results may be less definitive. Some people may still have seizures or side effects like dizziness or drowsiness.
