Summary
This trial aims to find out if BHV-7000 can effectively treat a type of epilepsy that causes seizures with loss of consciousness. The study also includes a phase where participants can continue treatment in an
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with idiopathic generalized epilepsy who frequently experience generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Participants must be diagnosed according to specific criteria and have a certain number of seizures within a defined period before the study starts.
What is being tested?
The effectiveness and safety of BHV-7000 in treating idiopathic generalized epilepsy are being tested. The study includes an initial phase where participants receive either BHV-7000 or a placebo, followed by an open-label extension where all participants can receive BHV-7000.
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects of BHV-7000 are not detailed here, common side effects for antiepileptic drugs may include dizziness, fatigue, nausea, coordination problems, and potential skin reactions.
