Why the study?
Despite numerous studies on quinidine therapies for epilepsies associated with KCNT1 gene mutations, there was no consensus on its clinical utility.
Does quinidine therapy improve seizure reduction in patients with KCNT1-related epileptic disorders?
Does quinidine therapy improve seizure reduction in patients with KCNT1-related epileptic disorders?
The therapeutic efficacy of quinidine for KCNT1-related epilepsies remains indefinite and unpredictable, with prolonged QTc being a significant safety concern.
