NCT04144218

Brief Summary

Children with focal refractory epilepsy will be routinely included in the collection of history, blood routine, biochemistry, EEG, MRI and 18F-FDG PET to determine the location of the epileptogenic focus and to assess the severity of the disease. This international multicenter clinical trial uses a double-blind, randomized, controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LCM in clinical applications in children with epilepsy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Frequency of weekly seizures (times/week)

    The reduction of absolute number of weekly seizures in the 16-week treatment period compared with the retrospective baseline period

    16-week

  • Assessment of liver function by serum alanine aminotransferase (U/L)

    The serum alanine aminotransferase (blood biochemistry) will be performed at baseline, at the 3rd and 6th visits to monitor the liver function of patients.

    One year

  • Assessment of renal function by serum creatinine (umol/L)

    The serum creatinine (blood biochemistry) will be performed at baseline, at the 3rd and 6th visits to monitor the renal function of patients.

    One year

  • Assessment of white blood cell count ( /L)

    The white blood cell count (blood routine) will be performed at baseline, at the 3rd and 6th visits to monitor the renal function of patients.

    One year
