Summary: Cinromide (BW‐122U) was evaluated in an open pilot study of absence seizures in three naive (previously untreated for absence seizures) patients (one male and two females, 7 to 8 years of age). In these naive patients, cinromide was found to be well tolerated but ineffective in reducing generalized spike‐and‐wave discharges on the telemetered EEG during the 1week duration of the study.
