Ketamine add-on Therapy for Established Status Epilepticus Treatment Trial (KESETT)

Drug

Levetiracetam (LEV) (60 mg/Kg) + 1 mg/kg Ketamine (KET)

The study drug will be produced at the central pharmacy, a GMP facility at the University of California, Davis. Diluted formulations are expected to remain stable for months when stored at room temperature. Expiration dates for study drugs will be determined and adjusted based on ongoing stability testing performed on study drugs prepared at the GMP facility for the study. All three formulations will be transparent solutions. None of the formulations are reported to consistently cause adverse effects at the infusion site. The method of drug administration, including volume and rate of infusion, is identical for all three drugs. These factors ensure that drug administration will be blinded.
