Official title
Assessment of Marketed AEDs in the Human Photosensitivity Proof of Concept Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients who usually have abnormal electrical EEG responses when shown flashing lights will show a reduction in abnormal electrical activity when they take a single dose of 2 marketed drugs (carbamazepine and levetiracetam). If so, a similar study in the future may be able to identify promising new drugs for epilepsy. Patients who successfully complete the screening visit, will return 4 additional times and will receive either placebo (2 times) or a single oral dose of both carbamazepine 400mg and levetiracetam 1000mg in random order. During each of the study days, several procedures and intermittent photosensitivity (IPS) assessments will be performed at 5 pre-determined times over the course of the day, one pre-dose and 4 post-dose.
