Seizure treatment study for people with brain tumors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how a brain tumor-related seizure condition is handled in children and adults. It may be a good option if your seizures started soon after your brain tumor was found or is in the same brain area as your seizure symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 8 or older.
- You have one main (solitary) brain tumor, either new or coming back.
- You have had seizures that started within about 3 months of when the tumor was diagnosed (or your seizure signs match the tumor’s location).
- You do not have to have ongoing seizures right now; even one past seizure may be enough.
- You (or a parent/guardian for children) must be able to consent after understanding the study, with help if needed.

This trial looks at using brain surgery to treat epilepsy that does not improve with usual medicines, or epilepsy caused by a brain tumor. It may help some people reduce seizures if surgery is appropriate for their situation.
This study looks at how the brain works by recording brain activity during surgery for epilepsy, brain tumors, or deep brain stimulation, in patients aged 12 to 18. It may help improve treatments for these conditions.
This study looks at how cancer and its treatment affect thinking and memory. It may help doctors understand and predict these changes, which could improve care.
This study looks at how young people with certain brain tumors respond to treatment. It aims to understand why some tumors resist therapy, which may help improve future treatments.
This trial studies which seizure medicine works best for adults who recently had their first seizure caused by certain brain tumors. It may help reduce seizures and improve daily functioning while choosing the right medicine after the first episode.
This trial tests whether the drug levetiracetam can prevent seizures in people who have brain tumor surgery. If you are having surgery to remove a brain tumor and have never had a seizure, this study may help keep you from having one after the operation.
