Wearable EEG gadget aims to perfect seizure drug dosing at home
NCT ID NCT07225231
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a wearable device that records brain waves, heart rate, and movement at home can help doctors better adjust the dose of the seizure drug fenfluramine for people with Dravet syndrome or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Twenty patients will wear the device for 3-7 days at a time, three times total. Doctors will compare their confidence in dosing decisions with and without the home monitoring data.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Fenfluramine
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that home EEG monitoring helps doctors fine-tune fenfluramine dosing more confidently for Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early study (20 people) that only measures doctor confidence, not patient outcomes. It may not prove that home monitoring actually improves seizure control.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with a confirmed Dravet syndrome or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome diagnosis who are eligible for Fenfluramine. * Patients for which the neurologist decided to prescribe Fenfluramine as a relevant treatment approach and who have not been prescribed Fenfluramine before. * Patients or caregivers should be able and willing to maintain a seizure diary e.g. using a digital seizure diary. Exclusion Criteria: Patients who * Have been diagnosed with or are suspected to have life-threatening conditions that could result in immediate danger; * Need to undergo an MRI scan or cardiac defibrillation; * Have an active implanted device such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, or vagal nerve, or brain stimulator; * Are unable to provide written informed consent, either directly or via a legal guardian. * Have known allergy or skin-sensitivity to the materials used in the Byteflies Adhesives * Are between 0 and 3 years of age; * Are above weight allowing variable titration * The patient is on any medication that would be contra-indicated for use with Fenfluramine at the execution of the study eg. LP352 (bexicaserin), loracaserin, monoamine-oxidase inhibitors, SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclic antidepressants or other serotonergic agonists or antagonists (antipsychotics). * Have a prescribed concomitant use of Stiripentol * Have any other condition or finding that would compromise the safety of the participant or the quality of the data, or otherwise interfere with achieving the objectives. * A history of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease, aortic or mitral valve regurgitation diagnosed by echography * Patients/caregivers who have only reported/detected non-motor seizures
