What the trial team says

Currently, treatment with a specific anti-epileptic drug mainly depends on the physicians' preference, as there are no studies supporting the use of one specific anticonvulsant in glioma patients. The overall aim of this randomized controlled trial is to directly compare the effectiveness of treatment with levetiracetam or valproic acid in glioma patients with a first seizure.
