Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The primary goal of this observational study is to establish the accuracy of CNS-specific Assay for Recurrent Paroxysmal Events (CARPE) as a diagnostic blood test for epilepsy. The target population is patients who have been newly referred to the Penn Epilepsy Center or patients who are admitted to HUP for continuous video EEG monitoring. (Subjects without an epilepsy diagnosis will be included.) Subjects will be asked to provide consent, agree to allow the study team to collect information from their medical record, and to provide at least one blood sample.
