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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 ).

    End point title
    Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Non-serious Adverse Events (AEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious (SAEs) [1]
    End point description
    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered an investigational product. A SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in death, was life-threatening (ie, the participant was at immediate risk of death from the AE as it occurred; this did not include an event that, had it occurred in a more severe form or was allowed to continue, might have caused death), required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or was as a congenital anomaly/birth defect (in the child of a participant who was exposed to the study drug). In this study, treatment emergent AEs (defined as an AE (serious or non-serious) that started/increased in severity on/after the first dose of study medication up to 30 days after the final dose of study medication) were assessed. The details are presented in the safety section of the result.
    End point type

    End point title
    Percent Change in Seizure Frequency Per 28 Days Relative to Pre-Perampanel Baseline
    End point description
    Seizure frequency was derived from information (seizure count and type) recorded in participant diary. The seizure frequency per 28 days was calculated as the number of seizures divided by the number of days in the interval and multiplied by 28. The percent change in 28-day seizure frequency from baseline was assessed for all partial-onset seizures types. For participants who had been assigned to treatment with perampanel (previous treatment), preperampanel Baseline referred to the Prerandomization Phase of the Core Double Blind study. For participants who had been assigned to treatment with placebo (previous treatment), pre-perampanel Baseline was computed from all data during the Core Double Blind study (including Prerandomization Phase) prior to treatment with perampanel.

    Percentage of Participants Who Experienced a 50% or Greater Reduction in Seizure Frequency Per 28 Days Relative to the Pre-perampanel Baseline
    End point description
    Seizure frequency was derived from information (seizure count and type) recorded in participant diary. The percentage of participants who experienced a 50% or greater reduction in seizure frequency per 28 days relative to the preperampanel Baseline (responders) was assessed. For participants who had been assigned to treatment with perampanel (previous treatment), pre-perampanel Baseline referred to the Prerandomization Phase of the Core Double Blind study. For participants who had been assigned to treatment with placebo (previous treatment), pre-perampanel Baseline was computed from all data during the Core Double Blind study (including Prerandomization Phase) prior to treatment with perampanel. The data is presented as percent responders.

    13 Oct 2005
    Protocol amendment #1 dated 13 Oct 2005: • Site number was increased from 30 to 50 sites to meet planned enrollment numbers. • Language was added to address the addition of European and North American sites and the deletion of US sites to this study in “Contact Details. • Language was added to clarify that Week 52 assessments should be performed at Week 52 or if patient prematurely terminates from the study. • Miscellaneous changes such as added European contact information for shipment of laboratory samples; ESL personnel contact information; EudraCT number; IND number; and clarification that patients with clinically significant laboratory abnormalities may be discontinued from the study at the investigator’s discretion. • The International System of Units (SI) equivalent was added to the WBC and absolute neutrophil values • The controlled room temperature was revised to meet European standards. • Laboratory assessments were revised. • Revised current version of Declaration of Helsinki with the 1996 version. • Administrative changes, correction of minor spelling and typographical errors.
    07 Jun 2006
    Protocol amendment #2 dated 07-JUN-2006 • The title was changed to reflect the extended study timeframe. • Administrative changes that do not impact the scientific meaning of the trial. • Twice a day (BID) dosing may not be necessary and was removed as an option in protocol. • Once a day (QD) vs BID efficacy comparison was removed as a secondary objective. • Determination of E2007 levels was removed as a secondary objective in protocol since ample PK data was collected from core Phase II and III studies. • The duration of the Titration Phase was reduced to 6 weeks. The Maintenance Phase was increased to allow patients to receive E2007 at the highest tolerated dose for 52 weeks. • Additional sites were added to increase enrollment. • Revisions to protocol for clarification purpose. • Revisions to inclusion and exclusion criteria. • Revisions in the test assessments to maintain consistency across all sites globally and to clarify the procedures. • Anti-epileptic drugs (AED) sampling was removed as it was not necessary to the main purpose of this study. • Clinical and Patient Global Impressions of change scales were removed.
    19 Nov 2006
    Protocol amendment #3 dated 19-NOV-2006 • Incorporate recent preclinical findings of in vitro phototoxicity into the safety information. • Clarified that the study drug would be taken at bedtime based on current tolerability data. • Clarified timing for enrollment from the double-blind study into the open-label study. • Revised criterion for excluding patients with ECG abnormalities to be uniform for males and females. • Updated SAE Reporting section with contract research organization (CRO) information (previously unavailable), and with updated SAE text concerning follow-up. • Revised Visit 5 window to adjust for drug packaging. • Inhibitors of CYP3A4/5 not excluded. • Editorial, formatting, and typo corrections.

    Protocol amendment 9 dated 11 Feb 2013 • Revised definition of study end in the United States- Upon implementation of Amendment 08, the sponsor will be closing the study protocol. The study will end after European Union (EU) Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) approval (EU countries) and after United States (US) launch (US). However, if it is the opinion of the treating physician that the patient would benefit significantly from further treatment with perampanel after the trial concludes, then it is Eisai’s intent to make perampanel available under Eisai’s compassionate use policy (available upon request) and according to local country legislative provision. Perampanel treatment via local country legislative provision will be available until the time perampanel is commercially available in the country in which the patient resides.
