Seizures clinical trials in Minnesota
We’re tracking 8 recruiting seizures studies with a site in Minnesota — including Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Minnesota
- 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.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–70 - NCT06700356Recruiting
Can a brain stimulator detect seizures in the thalamus?
This study tests whether a special brain stimulator (already implanted in some people with epilepsy) can detect seizures in the thalamus. It may help improve seizure monitoring without extra surgery.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05610085RecruitingPhase 2
Levetiracetam for newborn seizures: dose-finding study
This trial studies how to give levetiracetam to newborn babies with seizures. It’s trying to find a safe dose and see if it can help control seizures in early life.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 1 month - NCT05219617RecruitingPhase 3
Carisbamate for frequent drop seizures in Lennox-Gastaut
This Phase 3 study tests whether carisbamate can reduce drop seizures in people with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS). It also checks whether the treatment is safe when added to existing seizure medicines.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 4–55 - NCT07012148Recruiting
Seizure forecasting with EEG and wearables for epilepsy
This study tests a wearable device that records brain waves to help predict and track seizures in people with temporal lobe epilepsy. It may help you better understand your seizure patterns and reduce uncertainty.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–75 - 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.
Burnsville, MinnesotaAges 12 years+ - NCT06617845Recruiting
Optimizing brain stimulation for epilepsy
This study aims to find the best settings for brain stimulation devices already implanted in patients with epilepsy. It may help improve seizure control by adjusting how the device works.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 6 years+ - NCT02824822Recruiting
Genetic test study for heart rhythm risk in people with seizures
This study checks whether genetic markers are linked to heart rhythm problems in people with epilepsy or seizure-related events, and in some close relatives. It may help doctors better spot who is at risk for dangerous heart rhythm issues.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–50

What taking part in a seizures 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.

Common questions
- Are there seizures clinical trials in Minnesota?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting seizures studies with a site in Minnesota, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a seizures study in Minnesota?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Minnesota to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Minnesota, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a seizures trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New seizures studies open in Minnesota regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
