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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study is to assess the overall effectiveness of LCM (optimized within the range of 200mg/day to 600mg/day) when added to a stable dose of LEV (in the label range of 1000mg/day to 3000mg/day) with withdrawal of the concomitant SCB-AED in
    subjects with partial-onset seizures not adequately controlled on their dual LEV and SCB-AED regimen.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Other objectives of this study are to evaluate seizure reduction during the study versus Baseline and to evaluate the safety of LCM when LCM (optimized within the range of 200mg/day to 600mg/day) is added to LEV (in the label range of 1000mg/day to 3000mg/day) with withdrawal of the concomitant SCB-AED in subjects with partial-onset seizures not adequately controlled on their dual SCB-AED and LEV regimen.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No

    7. Subject has been maintained on a stable dose of LEV and a SCB-AED for at least 4 weeks prior to the Screening Visit (Visit 1) and during the 4-week Prospective Seizure Baseline, with or without additional concurrent stable vagal nerve stimulation (VNS).

    10. Hypersensitivity to any component of LCM.
    11. History of acute or sub-acute progressive central nervous system disease.
    12. History of severe anaphylactic reaction or serious blood dyscrasias.
    13. Impaired renal function (ie, creatinine clearance [CLcr] is lower than 30mL/min) at Visit 1.
    14. History of sick sinus syndrome without a pacemaker, or atrioventricular (AV) block, or subject has any other clinically significant ECG abnormalities.
    15. History sodium channelopathy, such as Brugada syndrome.
    16. History of myocardial infarction in the last 3 months.
