New hope for epilepsy: Real-World data on Cenobamate's impact

NCT ID NCT05859854

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how well the drug cenobamate works for adults with focal seizures that don't improve with at least two other epilepsy medicines. Researchers are collecting data from Italian clinics and a compassionate use program to measure seizure reduction and side effects. About 936 participants are being followed to see if cenobamate can safely lower seizure frequency in real-world settings.

cenobamate

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could confirm that cenobamate helps reduce seizure frequency in adults with hard-to-control focal epilepsy.

What could go wrong
