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   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Primary: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ESL as adjunctive therapy in patients aged ≥65 years with partial epilepsy, over a 26-week Treatment Period. Secondary: To explore the efficacy of ESL as adjunctive therapy in patients aged ≥65 years with partial epilepsy, over a 26-week Treatment Period.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial was conducted in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH), Good Clinical Practices (GCP), Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and with applicable local regulations. This trial was conducted by qualified persons who respected the rights and welfare of the subjects and after the review and approval of the protocol by an EC. Adverse events were collected during the trial and subject was followed by 4 weeks after last treatment visit.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period is the number of enrolled subjects; The worldwide number is number of treated subjects.

    Dosage and administration details
    For patients with CLCR above 60 mL/min the recommended starting dose is 400 mg once daily for two weeks. Thereafter, investigators are free to uptitrate the drug in 400 mg steps until a maximum of 1200 mg once daily. Titration can be upwards or downwards based on individual response. In this study the maximum daily dose allowed will be 1200 mg and the minimum dose will be 400 mg. At the end of the treatment period the dose of ESL will be tapered off at 400 mg steps each week and standard anti-epileptic treatment will be introduced.
