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 ).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Study 113905 was an open-label, multi-center, multi-country study of retigabine using a flexible dosing regimen in adult participants (par.) (>=18 years old) with partial-onset seizures. Since this was an open-label study, hypothesis testing was not performed. The focus of the analysis was on descriptive statistics.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Eligible par. must have been taking one of the following antiepileptic drug treatments: carbamazepine/oxcarbazepine, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, or valproic acid and required to have had at least 4 partial seizures during the 8-wk BL Phase and must have been receiving a stable dose of 1 of the prespecified monotherapy antiepileptic drug treatments.

    RTG flexible dose plus C/O
    Arm description
    Along with concurrent carbamazepine/oxcarbazepine (C/O), participants initiated treatment with retigabine (RTG) immediate release (IR) at 150 milligrams per day (mg/day) (50 mg thrice a day [TID]) and titrated to 600 mg/day (200 mg/day TID) over a 4-week Titration Phase. This was followed by a 16-week Flexible Dose Evaluation Phase, during which the dose could be increased or decreased on a weekly basis between 50 and 150 mg/day, depending on efficacy and tolerability, with the total dose staying between 300 and 1200 mg/day. Participants who were unable to tolerate a minimum dose of 300 mg/day were discontinued from the study.

    Number of participants with a >=50% reduction in partial-onset seizure (POS) frequency from Baseline [1]
    End point description
    The number of participants experiencing a >=50% reduction from Baseline (BL) in POS frequency during the Treatment Phase (TP) (i.e., Titration Phase and Flexible Dose Evaluation [FDE] Phase) was measured. A POS has its onset in a limited area on one side of the brain. POSs may remain limited or may spread to involve both sides of the brain. For both the Baseline Phase and the TP, seizure frequency was calculated as a 28-day rate using the following formula: 28 x {[(number of countable partial seizures in Phase) + (10 x number of days with innumerable seizures in Phase) + (number of occurrences of status epilepticus in Phase)] / number of applicable days in the Phase}, where all days in the Phase are considered applicable (including days with 0 seizures), except for days on which the participant failed to complete the Seizure Diary. >= 50% reduction from BL is calculated as 100 x (28-day partial seizure rate [PSR] for the TP - 28-day PSR for the BL Phase) / 28-day PSR for the BL Phase.

    Percent change from Baseline in partial-onset seizure frequency

    Percent change from Baseline was calculated as the difference in the partial-onset seizure frequency (Treatment Phase minus the Baseline Phase) divided by the Baseline Phase frequency, multiplied by 100. Negative values indicate reductions from Baseline. A partial-onset seizure is a seizure that has its onset in a limited area on one side of the brain.

    Functional Status Diary (FSD): Percent change from Baseline in epilepsy-related worry
    End point description
    Participants were asked the following question daily: "How would you rate your epilepsy-related worry over the last 24 hours?" The original possible responses were 0-10, with 0="No worry" and 10="Worst worry imaginable." However, in the summarization, "1" was added to each participant's daily response, changing the possible values to 1-11, so that there would be no possibility of the percent change from Baseline being undefined. Baseline and Treatment Phase averages were calculated for each participant. The denominators for these by-phase averages were the number of non-missing days for each variable and phase. The by-phase averages were used as follows in the calculation of percent change from Baseline for each participant: 100 x Treatment Phase average – Baseline Phase average) / Baseline Phase average. A negative percent change from Baseline indicates a reduction from Baseline.

    Change from Baseline in the PGI-C Score: Current ability to do the things you need to do
    End point description
    The PGI-C questionnaire was to be completed by the participant. Participants were asked the following question: Compared to before you started this study, how would you rate your current ability to do the things you need to do: Much better, Moderately better, A little better, Unchanged, A little worse, Moderately worse, Much worse? Rating scores are integers from 1 to 7, with 1=Much better and 7=Much worse.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Serious adverse events (SAEs) and non-serious AEs were collected from the start of study medication through the end of the Follow-up Phase (up to Week 33). SAEs considered to be related to study participation were also to be collected prior to treatment.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    SAEs and non-serious AEs were collected in members of the Safety Population, comprised of all participants who took at least one dose of investigational product.

    Reporting group title
    RTG flexible dose plus C/O
    Reporting group description
    Along with concurrent carbamazepine/oxcarbazepine (C/O), participants initiated treatment with retigabine (RTG) immediate release (IR) at 150 milligrams per day (mg/day) (50 mg thrice a day [TID]) and titrated to 600 mg/day (200 mg/day TID) over a 4-week Titration Phase. This was followed by a 16-week Flexible Dose Evaluation Phase, during which the dose could be increased or decreased on a weekly basis between 50 and 150 mg/day, depending on efficacy and tolerability, with the total dose staying between 300 and 1200 mg/day. Participants who were unable to tolerate a minimum dose of 300 mg/day were discontinued from the study.

    Reporting group title
    RTG flexible dose plus lamotrigine
    Reporting group description
    Along with concurrent lamotrigine, participants initiated treatment with RTG IR at 150 mg/day (50 mg TID) and titrated to 600 mg/day (200 mg/day TID) over a 4-week Titration Phase. This was followed by a 16-week Flexible Dose Evaluation Phase, during which the dose could be increased or decreased on a weekly basis between 50 and 150 mg/day, depending on efficacy and tolerability, with the total dose staying between 300 and 1200 mg/day. Participants who were unable to tolerate a minimum dose of 300 mg/day were discontinued from the study.

    Reporting group title
    RTG flexible dose plus levetiracetam
    Reporting group description
    Along with concurrent leveteracetam, participants initiated treatment with RTG IR at 150 mg/day (50 mg TID) and titrated to 600 mg/day (200 mg/day TID) over a 4-week Titration Phase. This was followed by a 16-week Flexible Dose Evaluation Phase, during which the dose could be increased or decreased on a weekly basis between 50 and 150 mg/day, depending on efficacy and tolerability, with the total dose staying between 300 and 1200 mg/day. Participants who were unable to tolerate a minimum dose of 300 mg/day were discontinued from the study.

    Reporting group title
    RTG flexible dose plus valproic acid
    Reporting group description
    Along with concurrent valproic acid, participants initiated treatment with RTG IR at 150 mg/day (50 mg TID) and titrated to 600 mg/day (200 mg/day TID) over a 4-week Titration Phase. This was followed by a 16-week Flexible Dose Evaluation Phase, during which the dose could be increased or decreased on a weekly basis between 50 and 150 mg/day, depending on efficacy and tolerability, with the total dose staying between 300 and 1200 mg/day.
