Tested higher-dose seizure medicine for children during EMS care
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies the best dose of a seizure medicine for children who are actively seizing while emergency medical teams are treating them. It may help EMS crews give safer, more effective treatment during transport.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- A paramedic directly sees your child having an active seizure
- Your child is being cared for by paramedics during the emergency transport
- The ambulance/EMS service transporting your child is part of the study
- Your child does NOT have a known or past allergy to benzodiazepine seizure medicines
- Your child is not known or suspected to be pregnant
- The paramedic does not think your child has severe growth problems based on their judgment

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.
This trial tests a faster way to give seizure-stopping medicine to children having a long or repeated seizure. The goal is to see if quicker treatment leads to better outcomes.
This trial tests if giving ketamine early, before reaching the hospital, can stop prolonged seizures in children with epilepsy. It is for kids who have had at least one seizure emergency in the past year.
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.
This trial tests an oral cannabidiol medicine (Epidiolex) for children whose seizures are not controlled by other treatments. It aims to see if adding this drug can reduce seizure frequency.
This study tests whether two medicines, ketamine (a sleep medicine) and levetiracetam (a seizure medicine), work better than a standard treatment for stopping long-lasting seizures in children when the first rescue medicine doesn't work.
