BHV-7000 Responsive Neurostimulation System (RNS) Study (NCT07125261)

BHV-7000 Efficacy Against Epileptiform Activity in Patients With Epilepsy Implanted With RNS

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Phase1 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Yale University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This is an open label study to assess the biological effect of BHV-7000 on abnormal activity recorded by the RNS System in patients with focal epilepsy implanted with the RNS System. BHV-7000 is a potassium channel activator being evaluated for use in epilepsy. Participants are offered the drug for 4 weeks. Activity during that treatment period is compared to a 90-day retrospective baseline period in which other medications and device settings were stable, and also to a 4-week withdrawal period after treatment is discontinued. The study is open to patients with RNS regardless of whether they report clinical seizures, as long as the device recordings continue to show epileptiform activity.
