Summary

This study follows 300 adults with focal epilepsy who are starting an additional anti-seizure medication (ASM) alongside their current treatment. Researchers will track changes in seizure frequency and quality of life over 12 months in everyday clinical settings. The goal is to see how well these add-on drugs work outside of strict trial conditions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
anti-seizure medication (ASM) as add-on therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors understand which add-on seizure medicines work best in everyday settings for people with hard-to-control focal seizures.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients, and there is no new treatment being tested.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Adult patients with epilepsy having focal-onset seizures with or without secondary generalization not adequately controlled despite a history of treatment with at least 2 anti-seizure medications and who will meet all the inclusion and none of the exclusion study criteria. The patients should be eligible to start a treatment with ASM as adjunctive therapy according to the physician's judgement, that must be clearly separated from the physician's decision to include the patient in the current study. The patients will be prospectively observed up to 12 months after having completed the related titration.

Ages

18 to 99 years

Inclusion Criteria: * Male and female patients of any ethnic origin ≥18 years old at baseline. * Patients with diagnosis of focal-onset seizures with or without secondary generalization. * Patients should have been eligible to start treatment with ASM as adjunctive therapy according to the physician's judgement prior to the inclusion. * Patients should have clinical history of treatment failure with at least 2 ASMs. * Patients using their seizure diary as part of their standard of care for at least 3 months prior to -the study entry (diary can be paper or electronic, filled in by patient and/or family members). * Written informed consent (including data privacy consent) signed by the patient, legal guardian, or legally authorized representative prior to entering the study in accordance with the ICH GCP guidelines Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who meet any of the contraindications to the administration of adjunctive ASMs according to their approved SmPC. * Progressive neurological disease, including degenerative CNS diseases and progressive tumors. * Patients with unstable psychiatric diagnosis that may confound participants' ability to participate in the study or that may prevent completion of the protocol-specified assessments (e.g., in the judgement of the Investigator, pose an appreciable risk for suicide, including suicidal behavior and ideation within 6 months prior to enrollment, current psychotic disorder, acute mania). * Evidence of clinically significant disease (e.g., cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal disease) that in the opinion of the Investigator could affect the participant's safety or interfere with study assessments. * Patients with substance abuse or dependence (except for caffeine and nicotine). * Patients participating in any pharmacological or nonpharmacological interventional study within 30 days prior to baseline.
