Stand Together Against pRolonged Seizures
The STARS study is searching for people who experience prolonged epileptic seizures (i.e. lasting more than 3 minutes) to join this clinical research study. The STARS Study is testing an inhaler containing an investigational drug that has been designed to potentially stop a prolonged seizure once it has begun.
Up to 250 people in study sites across the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia are expected to take part in the STARS Study. You and your study partner may be able to take part if you:
- Are 12 years of age or older
- Have focal or generalized epilepsy, or a combination of the two
- Have experienced 2 prolonged seizures within the past 3 months
- Prolonged seizures last more than 3 minutes.
- Have an adult who can act as a study partner to assist you throughout the study
There are other criteria that you will need to meet to qualify, which the study staff will discuss with you and your study partner.
