Cenobamate in the Intensive Care Unit

Use of Cenobamate in the Intensive Care Unit for Acute Frequent Seizures and Status Epilepticus

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Mar 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The CENOBITE study will be conducted as a multi-center trial involving X leading centers from the Critical Care EEG Monitoring Consortium (CCEMRC). A total of 10 patients will be recruited over a period of one year, with each patient undergoing monitored treatment regimen. Each site will obtain its own approval from their institutional review board. Data will be shared through the MGB REDCap; raw EEG files will be shared through the MGB Dropbox and analyzed at the BWH. Monitoring for the development of Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) syndrome, a potential adverse reaction, will be a key aspect of the study. Regular assessments, including RegiSCAR scoring (a validated scoring system for DREeSS5), daily serum cenobamate level measurements, and comprehensive lab tests, will be conducted to ensure patient safety and the effective management of any adverse reactions such as DRESS syndrome.
