Childhood-onset epilepsy syndrome with developmental and/or epileptic encephalopathy

Researchers are testing an experimental drug called TAK-935 in children aged 2 to 17 with Dravet syndrome or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, two severe forms of epilepsy that often resist treatment. The trial compares TAK-935 added to standard anti-seizure medications against a placebo …

This trial tests whether Epidiolex, a purified form of cannabidiol, can reduce the abnormal brain activity seen in children with electrical status epilepticus of sleep (ESES). ESES causes continuous seizure-like spikes on EEG during sleep, which can affect learning and behavior. …

This study tested the long-term safety of a drug called LP352 (bexicaserin) in 41 people aged 12 to 65 with severe epilepsy syndromes like Dravet or Lennox-Gastaut. Participants took the drug three times daily for up to 52 weeks. The main goal was to check for side effects, while…

This study looked at the long-term safety of a drug called fenfluramine (ZX008) for people with rare seizure disorders like Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. A total of 412 participants who had completed earlier studies took the drug and were monitored for side effects…

This study tested a drug called NBI-827104 in 24 children with a rare epilepsy that causes constant brain spikes during sleep. The drug is a calcium channel blocker given daily for 13 weeks. The main goal was to see if it reduces abnormal brain activity measured by EEG.

This study is testing whether a computer tool called BioEP can detect signs of seizure susceptibility in standard EEG recordings from children with epilepsy. Researchers will analyze past EEGs from 530 children aged 2 to 18 who already have an epilepsy diagnosis. The goal is to s…

Researchers are testing whether soticlestat, an experimental drug, can reduce major drop seizures when added to standard antiseizure therapy in children, teenagers, and adults with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. About 270 participants will take either soticlestat or a placebo for 16 we…

This study tested a wearable device that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain in 10 children with a rare epilepsy called CSWS, where abnormal brain activity occurs during sleep. The device was applied for just 10 minutes to the area causing the seizures. Researchers measur…

This study looks at medical records from public hospitals in Spain to count how many children, teenagers, and adults have Dravet syndrome or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, and how many new cases are diagnosed each year. It is an observational study, meaning no treatment or intervention…

This study looked at how Doose syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy, affects children's ability to learn and develop. Researchers followed 9 children and asked their parents about the disease's impact on school and daily life. The goal was to better understand the link between seizu…
