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 study objectives were to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of USL261 in the treatment of seizure clusters using the following: • Respiration rate: caregiver-recorded at approximately 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 4 hours after study drug administration • Adverse events (AEs) • Clinical laboratory tests • Physical, nasal, and neurological examinations • Vital sign measurements (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration rate, and temperature) as recorded by the study center staff • Brief Smell Identification Test (B-SIT) • Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) • Requirement for unscheduled emergency room (ER) or Emergency Medical Service (EMS) visits within 24 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) or Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) 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 or IEC. 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 in 1997. Before study entry, each study participant or the participant’s legally acceptable representative (LAR) was required to read, sign, and date an IRB- or IEC-approved consent form, explaining the nature, purpose, potential and possible risks, benefits, and duration of the study.

    09 May 2014
    Amendment 2: • Duration of the study was extended from up to 2 years from date of enrollment (Visit 1) to up to marketing of the study drug in the United States. After the first 2 years of participation in the study, only the date and start time of the next seizure beginning > 10 minutes and ≤ 24 hours after study drug administration were to be captured; • “Requirement for emergency rescue treatment with assisted breathing or intubation within 24 hours after study drug administration” was removed from the study objectives. These events were to be captured as adverse events; • Clarification that pregnancy tests were only required for females of childbearing potential; • Addition information was provided regarding the formulation of study drug used in the study; • Information regarding completed and ongoing studies was updated to reflect studies completed and initiated since Amendment 1; • Resource utilization questions were removed from the Caregiver Questionnaire as this information was collected elsewhere; • Clarification that caregiver withdrawal of consent could be documented as a reason for discontinuation from the study; • Clarification of the statistical analyses planned for the study.
    19 Mar 2015
    Amendment 3: • The protocol was amended to allow participants in Study P261-401 who completed the Test Dose Visit (Visit 2) and met the inclusion criteria for Visit 2 to enroll in Study P261-402 upon termination of Study P261-401; • The sample size of this study was increased from 155 to 240 as a result of an increase in the sample size of Study P261-401; • Inclusion Criterion 3 was modified to redefine age restriction; • Inclusion Criterion 8 requiring participants to weigh 40 to 125 kg, inclusive, at Visit 1 was removed; • Exclusion Criterion 1 was updated to exclude only those participants whose seizure cluster progresses to status epilepticus during or since his/her participation in Study P261-401; • Exclusion Criterion 17 excluding participants who had a vagal nerve stimulator implanted since completion of Study P261-401 was removed; • The duration of a participant’s participation was modified to up to approximately 4 years from the date of enrollment (Visit 1); • The list of efficacy assessments was modified to remove the date and time of recognition of seizure cluster(s) eligible for treatment with study drug; • The adverse event reporting time frame was reduced from 30 days after the last administration of study drug to 7 days after the last administration of study drug; • The introduction section was updated to reflect studies completed and ongoing since Amendment 1; • Several mild and moderate inhibitors of cytochrome P450 3A4 metabolism were removed from the list of prohibited concomitant substances, while others have had modifications made to the required washout period; • The required washout period for fentanyl, morphine, and propofol was modified from 7 days to 1 day, following brief intravenous (IV) administration of these drugs; • The procedures to be completed at Visits 2 through X, Final Visit or ET Visit, and on the telephone follow-up every 30 days were updated.

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? Yes
    Date
    Interruption
    Restart date
    22 Feb 2017
    Study P261-402 was to continue up until marketing approval or a time period as approved by the Health Authority where the study was being conducted. Because of the early termination of Study P261-401 for business reasons not related to safety or efficacy, the present study (Study P261-402) was also terminated early.
