The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Cohort 3: Longstanding IGE, Treatment Resistant

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age =13 years at time of enrollment
2. Age =8 years at time of seizure onset
3. Clinical seizure(s) and history consistent with IGE. The only permitted seizure types are absence, myoclonus or generalized tonic-clonic convulsions

4. A clear history of absence and/or myoclonus, accompanied by generalized spike-wave consistent with IGE per adjudication review
6. Availability of a complete medication history since initiation of treatment. This should include doses and date of initiation if possible, but minimum information would include name of drug, approximate duration of administration and reason for discontinuation, if applicable.
7. No competing cause of epilepsy (e.g. traumatic brain injury)
8. Treatment resistant IGE

1. Initiation of treatment at least 2 years prior to enrollment
2. Treatment resistance, as defined by failure of adequate trials of two tolerated and appropriately chosen and used AED schedules (whether as monotherapies or in combination to achieve seizure freedom). ASMs taken at enrollment would count towards this minimum.
3. Either or both of the following two:

i. One GTCC per year over the last 2 years. ii. Any type of seizure at least every 3 months which can consist of either: disabling myoclonus or absence (in the opinion of the subject and investigator) or GTCC d. Such seizures were not primarily due to significant illness (e.g, URI is not significant unless temperature >101oF (38.3oC), nonadherence to antiseizure medications or >2 alcoholic beverages within 48 hrs of seizure e. Ongoing therapy with > 1 antiseizure medication



1. Focal epilepsy
2. Paroxysmal nonepileptic seizures
3. Generalized/focal epilepsy mixed syndromes
4. Progressive neurological disorder (brain tumor, Alzheimer's disease, progressive myoclonic epilepsy, etc.)
5. Epileptic or developmental encephalopathy
6. Major medical co-morbidities (e.g. renal failure requiring dialysis, metastatic cancer, HIV, or significant liver or renal disease)
7. Autism Spectrum Disorder
8. History of chronic drug or alcohol abuse (misuse or excessive use that interferes with activities of daily living) within the last 2 years
9. Seizures only during pregnancy
10. History of previous or current significant psychiatric disorder that would interfere with study requirements
11. History of/suspicion of provoked seizures accounting for 25% or more of seizures over the prior 2 years (eg alcohol, non-adherence, significant sleep deprivation).
