Vitamin B6 for Keppra side effects in brain tumor patients
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether vitamin B6 can help reduce mood and behavior side effects of levetiracetam (Keppra) in people with brain tumors and seizures. If you're taking Keppra and feeling down or distressed, this study might offer a way to feel better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been taking levetiracetam for at least 6 weeks and no more than 6 months.
- You have been feeling some mood symptoms or distress (score of 3 or more on a 0-10 scale).

This trial tests two medicines, levetiracetam and lacosamide, to see which works better at preventing seizures in people who have had a traumatic brain injury. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to protect your brain after injury.
This study compares stopping seizure medicine (levetiracetam) after 6 months versus continuing it longer for people with primary brain tumors. It aims to find out if it is safe to stop the medication sooner and may help you avoid long-term side effects.
This study tests whether giving a seizure medication (levetiracetam) to people with brain tumors in the movement area can prevent seizures. It compares taking the medication to not taking it, starting before any seizure occurs.
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.
This trial tests whether giving levetiracetam (a seizure-preventing medicine) before and after surgery to remove a brain tumor can reduce the chance of having seizures. It may help patients who have never had a seizure before.
This trial tests whether adding an extended-release seizure medication (levetiracetam) to standard treatment helps people with a certain type of glioblastoma. It may improve outcomes by targeting tumors with low oxygen levels.
