UC Davis investigational medication used to resolve life-threatening seizures in children
Wednesday, November 12, 2014 · Posted by University of California, Davis
The investigational formulation of allopregnanolone was manufactured by UC Davis Health System’s Good Manufacturing Practice Laboratory. Two children were treated with the allopregnanolone formulation, one at UC Davis Children’s Hospital, the other at the Ann & Robert Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago. Both children were weaned from general anesthetics and other seizure treatments and their seizures resolved. In both instances the children are recovering.
