Recruiting studies
- NCT04134754Recruiting
Testing how your brain responds to carbon dioxide in epilepsy
This study measures how sensitive your brain is to higher carbon dioxide levels to learn more about sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). You may be invited because you have epilepsy and are having evaluation at a specialized epilepsy unit or clinic.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–99 - NCT07112365RecruitingPhase 4
Study of fenfluramine to prevent SUDEP in Dravet syndrome
This study tests whether the drug fenfluramine can reduce the risk of sudden unexpected death (SUDEP) in people with Dravet syndrome who have generalized convulsive seizures. It aims to see if a lower dose can still prevent seizures and protect the heart and breathing during a seizure.
Houston, TexasAges 16 years+ - NCT05981755Recruiting
Breathing rescue to prevent SUDEP in epilepsy
This trial tests a breathing rescue device to prevent SUDEP (sudden unexpected death in epilepsy) in people with hard-to-control focal epilepsy who are staying in the hospital for invasive brain monitoring.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01662453Recruiting
Study risk factors for sudden unexplained death in epilepsy
This study looks at what factors may be linked to sudden, unexplained death in people with epilepsy. Your family’s willingness to participate matters, because the researchers compare cases of sudden unexplained death to people with epilepsy who have not had it.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for sudep?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 4 recruiting sudep 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 sudep 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 sudep 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.
