Testing a new drug for generalized tonic-clonic seizures in Japan
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new medicine (ONO-2017) for people with a type of epilepsy that causes whole-body seizures. It looks at whether adding this drug to your current seizure medicines can reduce how often those seizures happen.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are Japanese and at least 12 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (whole-body seizures) as part of idiopathic generalized epilepsy.
- You have had at least 5 of these seizures in the past 12 weeks.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new medication called NPT 2042 for people with a type of epilepsy that causes brief staring spells (absence seizures). It aims to see if the drug can reduce seizure frequency compared to a placebo (an inactive pill).
This study tests a new seizure medication called ONO-2017 in Japanese children and teenagers (ages 2–17) who have a specific type of seizure called POS that hasn't been controlled by current medicines. The goal is to see if this new drug is safe and helps reduce these seizures.
This trial studies the safety of cenobamate for Japanese people who have partial onset seizures and have already finished a previous study of the same drug. It helps doctors learn more about long-term safety.
This trial tests if a new seizure medicine called cenobamate can help control frequent or ongoing seizures in intensive care unit patients who are already on other seizure medications.
This study looks at how well cenobamate works when added to other seizure medications for adults with focal epilepsy. It uses real-world data from medical records to see how people respond to treatment.
This trial tests whether a new seizure medicine (cenobamate) helps people whose seizures are caused by an overactive immune system. You would stay on your current treatments and add cenobamate to see if it reduces seizures.
