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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objectives were to characterize the steady-state pharmacokinetics (PK) of brivaracetam (BRV) and its metabolites in subjects from ≥1 month to <16 years of age, evaluate their relationship with physiological developmental variables, and develop dosing adaptations.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Informed consent was obtained and documented in accordance with local regulations, ICH-GCP requirements, and the ethical principles that have their origin in the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. Prior to obtaining informed consent, information was given in a language and at a level of complexity understandable in both oral and written form by the Investigator (or designee). Parent(s), legal representative(s), and subject if applicable had the opportunity to discuss the study and its alternatives with the Investigator.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    24 Feb 2011
    Protocol Amendment 1 (dated 24 Feb 2011) was implemented prior to the date of first patient first visit (FPFV on 05 Jul 2011). The rationale for this amendment was to update the Sponsor’s name and to add the Investigational New Drug number. Also, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendation that a PK blood sample should be taken whenever the subject reports a Serious Adverse Event (SAE) was added.
    26 Aug 2011
    Protocol Amendment 2 (dated 26 Aug 2011) was implemented after the date of FPFV. The rationale for this amendment was to include the Bayley Scales of Infant Development™, Second Edition (BSID-II™) in order to assess the cognitive development of pediatric subjects <18 months at Baseline in response to the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Paediatric Committee’s (PDCO) request. Exclusion and withdrawal criteria were extended to include the consequences of any findings related to the results of the liver function tests (LFTs). Procedures for reporting SAEs were updated to implement the FDA Final Rule requirements (Investigational new drug safety reporting requirements for human drug and biological products and safety reporting requirements for bioavailability and bioequivalence studies in humans, 21 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Parts 312 and 320, 2010). The Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) was added to address the request of the FDA that prospective assessments for suicidality should be included in clinical studies involving all drugs for neurological indications. Some operational updates (eg, the replacement of the paper-based Case Report form [CRF] with an eCRF) were also considered.

    Protocol Amendment 3 (dated 15 Dec 2011) was implemented after the date of FPFV. The rationale for this amendment was to replace the pediatric subjects’ version of the C-SSRS with the version validated in multiple languages for subjects 6 years of age and older. The BSID-II score was replaced by the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development®, Third Edition (Bayley-III®) scales in order to apply the most recent version of the cognition scale; no data were collected using the BSID-II before this change was implemented. In addition, it was clarified that the cognition scale would be used only in English-speaking countries, since it was validated only in English. The requirements for blood sampling (volumes and frequencies of the blood samples) were updated based on the subject’s body weight and all sections referring to biochemistry assessments were amended in order to clarify that tests for hepatic monitoring were to be included in all safety laboratory assessments. Furthermore, an error in the mathematical symbols used for the presentation of the age limits of the EEG assessments was corrected, and the SAE reporting details were updated. Administrative changes included the update of the Clinical Project Manager contact details and typographical corrections.
