Sugar-Like pill may starve seizures in early epilepsy test
NCT ID NCT05605301
First seen Jun 13, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026
Summary
This study tested how a pill called 2DG, which is similar to sugar but can't be used for energy, is processed by the body in 9 adults with epilepsy. The idea is that 2DG might stop seizures by blocking the brain's fuel supply during a seizure. Researchers measured drug levels in the blood after different doses to understand its safety and how it works.
