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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of BRV at individualized doses up to a maximum of 200mg/day in epilepsy subjects.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To evaluate the maintenance of efficacy of BRV over time.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. An Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)/Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved written informed consent signed and dated by the subject or by parent(s) or legally acceptable representative. The consent form or a specific assent form, where required, will be signed and dated by minors. In countries and sites where a DNA analysis is accepted, an additional Informed Consent form will have to be signed by subjects coming from N01358. Deoxyribonucleic acid analysis will be performed only in adults, and the subject can withdraw consent to the use of the sample at any time. Mentally impaired subjects will be excluded. In case the consent is withdrawn, the site must request the destruction of the sample.
    2. Male/female subject from 16 years or older. Subject under 18 years may only be included where legally permitted and ethically accepted.
    3. Subject completed the Treatment Period of N01358 or the Evaluation Period of N01258.
    4. Subject for whom the Investigator believes a reasonable benefit from the long-term administration of BRV may be expected.
    5. Female subject without childbearing potential (premenarcheal, postmenopausal for at least 2 years, bilateral oophorectomy or tubal ligation, complete hysterectomy) are eligible. Female subject with childbearing potential are eligible if they use a medically accepted contraceptive method. Oral or depot contraceptive treatment with at least ethinylestradiol 30μg per intake (or ethinylestradiol 50μg per intake if associated with any strong enzyme inducer [eg, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, primidone, phenytoin, oxcarbazepine, St. John’s Wort, rifampicin]), monogamous relationship with vasectomized partner, or double-barrier contraception are acceptable methods. The subject must understand the consequences and potential risks of inadequately protected sexual activity, be educated about and understand the proper use of contraceptive methods, and undertake to inform the Investigator of any potential change in status. Abstinence will be considered as an acceptable method of contraception if the Investigator can document that the subject agrees to be compliant.
    6. Subject/legally acceptable representative considered as reliable and capable of adhering to the protocol (eg, able to understand and complete diaries and questionnaires), visit schedule, or medication intake according to the judgment of the Investigator.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Subject has developed hypersensitivity to any components of the investigational medicinal product (IMP) or comparative drugs as stated in this protocol during the course of the core studies
    2. Severe medical, neurological, or psychiatric disorders, or laboratory values which may have an impact on the safety of the subject
    3. Poor compliance with the visit schedule or medication intake in the previous BRV studies
    4. Planned participation in any other clinical study of another investigational drug or device during this study
    5. Pregnant or lactating woman
    6. Any medical condition which, in the Investigator’s opinion, warrants exclusion
    7. Subject has a lifetime history of suicide attempt (including an active attempt, interrupted attempt, or aborted attempt), or has suicidal ideation in the past 6 months as indicated by a positive response (“Yes”) to either Question 4 or Question 5 of the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) at the Entry Visit
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary objective is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of BRV at individualized doses up to a maximum of 200mg/day in epilepsy subjects. Safety variables are AEs, laboratory tests (including hematology, blood chemistry, urinalysis, endocrinology and pregnancy test), ECG, physical examination, neurological examination, vital signs, and body weight.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Continuously observed throughout the study.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    To evaluate the maintenance of efficacy of BRV over time. The primary efficacy variable is the POS (type I) seizure frequency standardized to a 28 day duration.
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    This will be summarized by 3 month periods over the Evaluation Period.
