Recruiting studies in California
- NCT05851391RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug treatment to stop hard-to-control seizures after cardiac arrest
This Phase 2 trial tests a medication strategy to stop “refractory status epilepticus,” a severe seizure condition that can happen after a cardiac arrest. It may help by reducing ongoing seizure activity after return of circulation in the ICU.

Ketamine for ongoing seizures in the ER
This trial tests if adding ketamine to standard care can stop seizures that continue after a first treatment. It is for people having a convulsive seizure lasting more than 5 minutes and who are still seizing in the emergency room.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 1 year+ - NCT06401707RecruitingPhase 2
Seizure prevention after cardiac arrest
This study tests a seizure-prevention medicine called perampanel for people whose hearts stopped beating (cardiac arrest) and are now in the ICU. The goal is to see if it helps prevent seizures that can happen after such an event.

Telemedicine support for paramedics in children's emergencies
This study tests whether paramedics and emergency doctors can use a special video or phone link to improve care for children in emergencies. It compares the usual way doctors give advice to paramedics with a new telemedicine method.

Understanding Recovery from Coma and Unconsciousness
This study follows patients who have been in a coma (deep unconsciousness) for at least 24 hours due to a brain injury. Researchers will track how patients recover over time to better understand which factors help predict who will wake up and how well they'll recover.

What taking part in a status epilepticus 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 status epilepticus clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 5 recruiting status epilepticus studies with a site in California, 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 status epilepticus study in California?
- 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 California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, 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 status epilepticus 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.
