NCT ID NCT03822741

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is collecting genetic information from 2,000 infants in China who had seizures before their first birthday. Researchers aim to find gene changes linked to seizures and see if personalized treatments can help control them better. The goal is to understand the genetic causes and improve care for these babies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to better, personalized treatments for infants with seizures based on their genetic profile.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly improve outcomes, and genetic findings may not always lead to effective therapies.
