NCT ID NCT05610085

Summary

This study aims to find the safest and most effective dose of the drug levetiracetam to control seizures in newborn babies. Researchers will test increasingly higher doses in up to 133 newborns who have mild to moderate seizures, comparing them to a standard treatment. The goal is to better control these dangerous seizures, which can harm a baby's developing brain, and improve long-term health outcomes.
