Summary

This is an open-label, phase 4 study to examine the safety and efficacy of vigabatrin (Sabril) in Tuberous Sclerosis patients, a subset of the larger refractory complex partial epilepsy population for which the drug is approved. While enrolled on this trial, subjects will continue to take all of their normally prescribed medications, including their other antiepileptic drugs (AEDs).

Alternatively, there is a prospective observational arm that subjects who are about to take Sabril as treatment for seizures associated with Tuberous Sclerosis may join. Subjects who join this arm will not have any study visits and will not be asked to do anything specifically for the study. The study team will collect all study data from subjects' medical records only.

Conditions

  • Complex Partial Seizures

Interventions

DRUG

vigabatrin

Subjects will begin taking vigabatrin (Sabril) during the third month of the study. Upward titration will happen at a rate of 500mg per week until subjects reach their maximum tolerated dose, or 3g per day (whichever is lower). This dose may be decreased if needed under the supervision of the study doctor. Subjects who need to lower their dose or who stop taking Sabril will have their dosage decreased at a rate of 1 gm/week for one month under the supervision of the study doctor.
