Summary

This trial will test the effects of a new drug on 5 participants with a known stable condition using EEG. The participants will receive two different doses of the drug and a placebo in a randomized order.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for a small group of about 5 people who have epilepsy that reacts to flashing lights, known as photosensitive epilepsy. They must have a stable photoparoxysmal response (PPR) on an EEG test.
What is being tested?
The study tests NPT 2042's ability to suppress the PPR in patients with photosensitive epilepsy. It's a controlled experiment where participants receive two different doses of NPT 2042 and a placebo at different times without knowing which one they're getting.
What are the potential side effects?
Since specific side effects are not provided, generally, new medications like NPT 2042 could potentially cause headaches, dizziness, nausea or other reactions depending on individual tolerance and the drug’s profile.
