Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are Japanese adults aged 18 and older with a clinical diagnosis of primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures who are currently on 1 to 3 antiepileptic drugs.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a history of status epilepticus requiring hospitalization or those with non-epileptic seizures may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ONO-2017 when used in conjunction with existing antiepileptic medications in Japanese patients diagnosed with primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Participants must be at least 18 years old and currently experiencing a minimum of five seizures within a 12-week period. The study will involve monitoring the effects of ONO-2017 on seizure frequency and overall patient safety. It is a Phase 3 interventional trial, indicating a focus on confirming the treatment's effectiveness and safety profile.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly reduce the frequency of seizures in patients with generalized epilepsy.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is being tested in this specific population, similar studies have shown promise in evaluating new antiepileptic drugs for seizure management.
