What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at gene activity in brain tissue removed during surgery from 10 people with temporal lobe epilepsy and hippocampal sclerosis. The goal is to find which genes are linked to the disease and may help predict outcomes. No new treatment is being tested; instead, researchers aim to better understand the disease at the molecular level.
