Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document by either ink on paper or a DF\u002FHCC approved eConsent medium\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n1. Participants with prior seizures as this is a study for seizure naïve patients\n2. Participants with an allergy to levetiracetam as levetiracetam is the prophylactic anti-seizure medication under study\n3. Participants concurrently taking (i.e. at enrollment) an ASM for non-seizure indications at clinically relevant doses (gabapentin 1800 mg\u002Fday or higher, pregabalin 300 mg\u002F day or higher, lamotrigine 150 mg\u002F day or higher, valproic acid 1000 mg\u002F day or higher, topiramate 200 mg\u002F day or higher, carbamazepine 200 mg\u002F day or higher, oxcarbazepine 300 mg\u002F day or higher, primidone 100 mg\u002Fday or higher) because use of these medications could bias the study toward the null\n4.

Participants who cannot receive gadolinium as MRI of the brain with contrast is required\n6. Participants with end stage renal disease due to risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in this patient population after exposure to gadolinium-based contrast agents\n7. Participants with widespread, definitive leptomeningeal disease given that leptomeningeal disease and brain metastases are different entities\n8. Pregnant women are excluded from this study because levetiracetam crosses the placenta. In addition, the potential deleterious effects of gadolinium on the developing fetus are not completely known\n9.
