New hope for tough seizures: Long-Term safety trial launches
NCT ID NCT07219407
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests the long-term safety of an experimental drug called RAP-219 in 30 adults whose focal seizures do not respond well to current treatments. Participants must have already completed a related earlier study. The goal is to see if RAP-219 remains safe and helps reduce seizure frequency over time.
