What is the KESETT study (original) and why are we informing the public about this study?
1) KESETT is testing which treatment works best and is safest for people experiencing seizures. (The study is comparing levetiracetam by itself and the combination of levetiracetam with different amounts of of ketamine)
2) In emergencies like seizures, patients may be unconscious and unable to give consent to join a study. Federal rules allow research to proceed without consent in such cases (this is called an Exception from Informed Consent (EFIC)). However, before using EFIC, researchers must inform the community about the study (Public Disclosure) and gather community feedback (Community Consultation).
