Can we predict which Kids' seizures Won't respond to meds?
NCT ID NCT07241754
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will follow 200 children with epilepsy to find clues—like brain scans or EEG patterns—that show which kids are likely to become resistant to standard seizure medications. The goal is to catch these cases early and consider alternative treatments such as a ketogenic diet or other therapies. The study is not yet recruiting and is purely observational, meaning it looks for patterns rather than testing a new drug.
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 help doctors identify children at risk for drug-resistant epilepsy earlier and start alternative treatments like a special diet or other therapies sooner.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study that does not test a new treatment itself. It may not find clear predictors, and any recommendations would need further testing in future trials.
