Recruiting studies
- NCT05716100RecruitingPhase 3
Study drug for focal epilepsy that isn’t controlled on current meds
This trial tests XEN1101 compared with a placebo (inactive pill) in people with focal-onset seizures that haven’t been fully controlled despite trying at least two anti-seizure medicines. If you qualify, you may help researchers see whether the study drug reduces seizure frequency and improves control.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06798896RecruitingPhase 2
SPN-817 for hard-to-control focal seizures
This study tests an investigational drug called SPN-817 to see if it can reduce focal seizures (seizures that start in one area of the brain) in adults whose seizures are not well controlled by current medications.
Port Charlotte, FloridaAges 18–70 - 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.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT07141329RecruitingPhase 2
Long-term study of SPN-817 for focal seizures
This study gives SPN-817 to people who completed a prior study of the same drug, to see if it stays safe and works well over a longer time. You may qualify if you already finished that study and have stable seizure medicine.
Port Charlotte, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07219407RecruitingPhase 2
Long-term safety study of RAP-219 for focal seizures
This study tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of RAP-219, an investigative medication for focal epilepsy. It is for people who already completed an earlier study of RAP-219, have a type of epilepsy that doesn't respond to standard medicines, and use a surgically implanted brain device (RNS system) to help manage seizures.
Boise, IdahoAges 18–70 - NCT07233239RecruitingPhase 1
CBD liquid for focal epilepsy seizures
This trial tests a new cannabidiol (CBD) liquid medicine for people with focal epilepsy (seizures that start in one part of the brain). It looks at whether the medication can help reduce seizures when added to your current seizure medications.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 12–75 - NCT06388161Recruiting
Autoantibody study in new focal seizures
This research study looks for specific immune system markers (autoantibodies) in the blood and spinal fluid of people who have recently started having focal seizures (seizures that start in one part of the brain) with no known cause. Finding these markers could help doctors understand why the seizures started.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 14–100 - NCT06388707RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ultrasound brain stimulation for drug-resistant epilepsy
This trial tests a low-intensity focused ultrasound device that aims to calm overactive brain areas causing seizures. It's for people whose seizures are not controlled by medication.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06922175Recruiting
Study on cenobamate and healthcare use in epilepsy
This study looks at how cenobamate (a medication for seizures) affects healthcare use, like hospital visits or emergency room trips, in people with epilepsy whose seizures were not well-controlled by 2 to 5 other medicines. It is a real-world study, meaning it uses medical records to understand the impact.
Freiburg im Breisgau, GermanyAges 18 years+ - 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.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT06492720Recruiting
Testing focused ultrasound for drug-resistant epilepsy
This study tests a new device called NaviFUS that uses focused sound waves to gently stimulate a small area of the brain. It is for people whose seizures start in one part of the brain and are not fully controlled by seizure medicines.
TaipeiAges 18–65 - NCT05673915Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for hard-to-control epilepsy
This trial tests whether noninvasive brain stimulation (using gentle electrical current through the scalp) can reduce seizures in people with epilepsy that has not responded to at least two anti-seizure medicines. If you qualify, you’d also be asked to keep track of seizures in a diary during the study.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 6 years+ - NCT06278428Recruiting
Epilepsy in Infants: Genes and Disease Course
This study looks at children with severe epilepsy that starts before age 2. It aims to understand how different gene changes affect the disease and how it progresses over time.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for focal onset seizures?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 13 recruiting focal onset seizures studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a focal onset seizures trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a focal onset seizures trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
