Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Limitation of the maximal dose to 150 mg/day.
    07 Apr 2006
    Issued to fulfill requirements by the German Central Ethics Committee; however, the amendment was not country-specific, but applied to all study sites. Updates made to several sections of the protocol to clarify wording used and study procedures.
    05 May 2006
    Allowed the inclusion of study participants with genetically ascertained Unverricht-Lundborg Disease (ULD) who might have benefited from BRV as adjunctive treatment in a previous confirmatory study. Furthermore, specific sections related to treatment of study participants with ULD were added.
    02 Feb 2007
    • Updated the exclusion criteria (suppression of exclusion criteria linked to laboratory values on the basis of favorable Phase 2 data). • Updated BRV background information. • Expanded study by including study participants with POS and study participants with generalized epilepsy coming from BRV Phase 3 studies (N01252, N01254, and possibly N01253), as well as collection and analysis of their data. • Allowed the Investigator to adjust dosage of concomitant antiepileptic drug(s) (AED(s)). Withdrawal of concomitant AED(s) resulting in monotherapy with BRV was permitted. • Addition of long-term exploratory data, namely Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for study participants coming from N01114, and HADS, EuroQol 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) and socioprofessional data for study participants coming from N01252, N01254, and possibly N01253.
    01 Jun 2007
    Issued as a follow up to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) feedback received on N01253, where the FDA specifically requested to add an additional down-titration step for study participants with POS taking BRV 50 mg/day or more—a last down-titration step at 20 mg/day for 1 week was recommended prior to the Study Post-Treatment Period.
    01 Jun 2007
    Update to Amendment 6; was issued as a follow up to the FDA feedback received on N01253 requesting that an additional down-titration step for study participants taking 50 mg/day or more be added. The amendment also did the following: • Harmonized the duration of N01125 with the BRV program for study participants with ULD. The program was to continue until an FDA approval for the indication of ULD was obtained, or until the development program for the indication was stopped by the sponsor. • Clarified the use of 10 and 50 mg oral tablets. • Modified the instructions on the study drug storage conditions. • Clarified study procedures.
    26 Oct 2007
    Update to Amendment 6 and Amendment 9; was issued to remove some restrictions imposed on study participants switching from their previous study to this long-term follow-up (LTFU) study. The amendment also did the following: • Clarified the inclusion criterion for birth control methods. • Clarified end of study conditions. • Modified study drug discontinuation procedures as described in Amendment 9.
    04 Apr 2008
    Amendment to Amendment 8. Updates made to several sections of the protocol to clarify study procedures and FDA warning for suicidality and suicidal thoughts for study participants taking AEDs. The amendment also did the following: • Clarified the study objective. • Clarified the inclusion criterion regarding contraceptive methods (female study participants with childbearing potential were allowed to enter the study if their sexual inactivity was judged to be reliable by the Investigator). • Specified that doses beyond 40 mg/day increments were only to be made using 10 or 25 mg tablets.
    03 Jan 2011
    Amendments reduced the number of assessments for the study participants in view of the quantity of data already collected, the good safety profile of the drug, the extension of the study and the focus on safety aspects. Amendment 24 is the amendment to Protocol Amendment 18 for study participants with POS/PGS. Amendment 25 is the amendment to Protocol Amendment 10 for study participants with ULD. Integrated Amendment 25 combined Amendment 24 and 25, as well as specified the following: • Study participants were not allowed to convert to BRV monotherapy. • The maximum allowable daily dose of BRV was increased from 150 mg/day to 200 mg/day to align with more recent LTFU studies. The maximum dose was chosen following consultation with regulatory authorities. • Removed 2.5 mg BRV tablets and all capsules. • Introduced the Partner Pregnancy Consent form.
    25 Oct 2011
    • Addition of the suicidality assessment and the requirements per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Final Rule and update of the study variables. • Updated procedures for reporting serious adverse events (SAEs). • Specified that BRV packaging was updated (80 tablet containers no longer supplied).
    12 Mar 2015
    • Updated contact information. • Addition of procedures for study participants enrolling from another study (N01315). • Deletion of outdated exposure numbers. • Addition of language allowing all participants to enroll into a managed access program (or similar). • Updated protocol adherence language. • Added Sponsor declaration page.
