This trial looks at how safe brivaracetam is and how well it can be used in children and teens with certain types of epilepsy that are not well controlled. It may help families who are dealing with frequent focal seizures despite taking seizure medicines.
This trial studies how to give levetiracetam to newborn babies with seizures. It’s trying to find a safe dose and see if it can help control seizures in early life.
This trial compares two antiseizure medicines, levetiracetam and phenobarbital, to see which one works better for children whose prolonged seizures (lasting several minutes) do not stop after two doses of a rescue medicine called benzodiazepine.
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.
