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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 efficacy objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of USL261 compared with that of intranasal (IN) placebo for the outpatient treatment of seizure clusters based on Treatment Success, which was defined as achieving both of the following: • Termination of seizure(s) within 10 minutes after study drug administration, and • No recurrence of seizure(s) beginning 10 minutes after study drug administration to 6 hours after study drug administration
    Protection of trial subjects
    Before the initiation of the clinical trial, the protocol, consent form, and advertisements for the recruitment of participants were reviewed and approved by the institutional review board (IRB) of the participating study center, in accordance with current Good Clinical Practices (GCP) and all applicable regulatory requirements. All protocol amendments and changes to the informed consent form (ICF) occurring during the study were also approved by the IRB. This clinical trial was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origins in the Declaration of Helsinki, 1964, and with adherence to the principles of GCP, outlined by the International Council for Harmonisation’s (ICH’s) GCP Guidelines, effective 1997. If new safety information resulted in significant changes to the risk/benefit assessment, the consent form was to be reviewed and updated if necessary. All participants (including those already being treated) were to be informed, given a copy of the revised form, and asked to give their consent to continue in the study.

    Blinding implementation details
    USL261 was not blinded for the TDP or for the second dose provided to some participants during the CP; however, blinding was considered important for safety and efficacy assessments for the first dose of the CP. The drug name did not appear on the label, and neither the investigator/study center staff nor the participant/caregiver knew the identity of the randomized medication.

    Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) collected from administration of first open-label dose of USL261 5 mg in TDP until completion of the final study visit or 7 days after the last administration of study drug, whichever was later.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Adverse events collected at each visit from participant and/or caregiver. TEAEs presented for TDP and CP separately. Due to the short systemic half-life of active (midazolam), TEAEs within 2 days after administration of first open-label USL261 5 mg dose presented for TDP, and within 2 days after administration of double-blind dose for CP.

    20 Oct 2014
    Amendment 2: • To modify the trial to utilize a group sequential design with 3 interim analyses and a maximum of approximately 240 participants who have completed the CP; • To remove the requirement for emergency rescue treatment with assisted breathing or intubation within 24 hours after study drug administration; • To decrease the lower age (from 14 to 12 years of age) and remove the upper age restriction from Inclusion Criterion 3; • To modify the definition of intermittent use of benzodiazepines to clarify that benzodiazepines are allowed provided they are typically used ≤ 3 days within a 7-day period; • To reduce the minimum observation time at the Test Dose Visit from 4 hours to 1 hour for all new test dosed participants after the originally planned 132 participants completed the CP; • To modify Exclusion Criterion 22 to clarify that a that a ≥ 40 mmHg decrease from baseline in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and a ≥ 30 mmHg decrease from baseline in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) during the observation period after administration of the USL261 test dose at Visit 2 were exclusionary; • To remove date and time of recognition of seizure cluster(s) eligible for treatment with study drug from the list of efficacy assessments; • To reduce the AE reporting time frame from 30 days after the last administration of study drug to 7 days after the last administration of study drug; • To clarify that participants who did not have sufficient available data to confirm whether they could be classified either as “Treatment Success” or as “Not a Treatment Success” were considered to have missing data; • To clarify that the PK profile after administration of any dose of USL261 would be evaluated, not just after 10 mg; • To update the statistical and PK analyses to provide additional detail on the planned analyses; • To clarify that participants who had not treated a seizure cluster meeting the study criteria within 6 months of randomization were to be discontinued from the study.
    26 Feb 2015
    Amendment 3: • To update the definition of modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) to maintain the wording in the original protocol (include only those participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug during the CP and who had any post-treatment efficacy assessments); • To update the statistical analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint to maintain the analyses in the original protocol and add chi-squared test as a sensitivity analysis.
