- NCT05518578RecruitingPhase 2
Drug trial for hard-to-control focal epilepsy with brain scar
This Phase 2 trial tests SPN-817 in adults whose seizures are still not well controlled despite trying multiple seizure medicines. It targets people with a specific type of brain finding called focal cortical dysplasia and looks at safety/tolerability and seizure outcomes over several weeks.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT05718817Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term study of XEN1101 for people with epilepsy
This study gives XEN1101 in an open-label way (everyone knows they’re getting the drug) to people who finished earlier epilepsy studies. It aims to see how the treatment continues to work and whether it’s safe over the long term.
Miami, FloridaAges 12 years+ - NCT07110454Recruiting
Long-term follow-up study for epilepsy monitoring implant
This study follows people who previously enrolled in the DETECT study and had a Minder device implanted to monitor brain activity. The goal is to see how the device performs over a longer period of time.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT07110337Recruiting
Diagnosing epilepsy to help guide treatment
This trial tests a new device to help diagnose epilepsy in people whose previous EEG brain monitoring did not give clear answers. If you have drug-resistant epilepsy with at least one seizure a month on average, this study may help find better treatment options.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT06443463Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Long-term safety of BHV-7000 in epilepsy
This study checks the long-term safety of BHV-7000 for people who already completed an earlier trial with this drug. You keep taking the same medicine while doctors watch for any side effects over time.

Miami, FloridaAges 18–85 - NCT06132893RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing BHV-7000 for hard-to-control focal seizures in adults
This study tests a new medicine called BHV-7000 for adults whose focal seizures (starting in one part of the brain) are not controlled by current treatments. The goal is to see if it can reduce seizures safely.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT05380921Enrolling by invitation
Dry-electrode EEG headset for VA telehealth visits
This trial is testing a new “dry electrode” EEG headset used during EEG testing done as an outpatient (and possibly from home/clinic by telehealth). It may help make EEG recordings easier and more comfortable compared with traditional setups.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07594119RecruitingPhase 3
Testing RAP-219 to reduce seizures in focal epilepsy
This study tests a new medication called RAP-219 to see if it can reduce seizure frequency in adults with focal epilepsy (seizures starting in one area of the brain). You'll take the medication alongside your current seizure drugs and track your seizures daily using an app.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT04419272RecruitingPhase 4
Methylphenidate for thinking problems in adults with focal seizures
This trial studies whether methylphenidate (a stimulant medicine) can improve thinking and memory problems related to epilepsy. You may be kept on your usual seizure medicines, and your thinking will be tested over about 16 weeks.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05135091RecruitingPhase 3
Cell therapy trial for hard-to-control one-sided temporal lobe epilepsy
This Phase 3 study tests a neural cell therapy (NRTX-1001) for adults whose seizures come from one side of the hippocampus and have not improved with standard seizure medicines. The goal is to reduce seizure frequency and improve seizure control where other treatments have not worked.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT07509177Recruiting
Infrared light therapy for stress in epilepsy
This trial tests if infrared light therapy can help reduce stress in people with epilepsy. You would wear a ring to track your sleep and activity, and attend 45 light therapy sessions over several months.
North Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06908356RecruitingPhase 2
Testing PRAX-628 for focal or tonic-clonic seizures
This study tests an experimental pill called PRAX-628 for adults whose seizures are not fully controlled by current medications. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective at reducing seizures.
Miami Lakes, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT07051629RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new epilepsy medicine for safety in healthy people and patients
This study tests a new medicine called SIF001 for safety. It first gives the medicine to healthy volunteers, and then to people with epilepsy who have seizures even while on their current medicines. The goal is to find a safe dose.

What taking part in a epilepsy study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
