Can a new drug cut seizure days in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis trial tests whether an experimental drug called JZP926 can safely reduce the number of days people aged 10 and older experience myoclonic seizures—brief, shock-like jerks—due to juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either JZP926 or a pla…
