Epilepsy Clinical Trials in Chicago, IL

The purpose of this study is to determine whether BHV-7000 is effective in the treatment of idiopathic generalized epilepsy with generalized tonic-clonic seizures and includes an additional open-label extension (OLE) phase. Read Less

This is a multicenter, single arm, open label clinical trial that is designed to test the safety and preliminary efficacy of single administration inhibitory nerve cells called interneurons (NRTX-1001), into both temporal lobes of subjects with drug-resistant bilateral mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether BHV-7000 is effective in the treatment of refractory focal epilepsy. Read Less

This clinical trial is designed to test whether a single image-guided intracerebral administration of inhibitory nerve cells, called interneurons (NRTX-1001), into subjects with drug-resistant unilateral mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), with or without mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS), is safe (frequency of adverse events) and effective (seizure frequency). NRTX-1001 comprises human interneurons that secrete a neurotransmitter, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Read Less

The purpose of this post-approval study is to further evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of Medtronic DBS therapy for epilepsy on seizure reduction in newly implanted participants through 3 years of follow-up. Read Less

This trial is a Phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled multi-site study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of early sirolimus to prevent or delay seizure onset in TSC infants. This study is supported by research funding from the Office of Orphan Products Division (OOPD) of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Read Less

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the impact of the diabetes drug glibenclamide (glyburide) on neurodevelopment in individuals with iDEND (developmental delay, epilepsy and neonatal diabetes) due to the V59M mutation in the KCNJ11 gene. The main question it aims to answer is whether initiating sulphonylurea (SU) therapy in the first year of life results in better neurodevelopmental outcomes in affected individuals, in comparison to starting therapy later than 12 months of age. Participants will undergo a neurodevelopmental assessment comprising parental and teacher completion of standardised questionnaires, and where possible face to face neuropsychological testing. Researchers will compare the outcomes of these standardised tests in the individuals who started SU therapy \<12 months of age in comparison to those who started \>12 months of age. Read Less
