The LGS DISCOVER Study

A Clinical Study for Children and Adults with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome

The LGS DISCOVER study, also identified as the YKP509C003 study, is a clinical trial for pediatrics and adults with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS).

The LGS DISCOVER study will evaluate whether an investigational medicine called carisbamate, when given along with other anti-seizure medications for epilepsy, can decrease the number of seizures in LGS patients 4-55 years of age who are on one or more anti-seizure medications.
