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.

21 Jan 2013 |
Amendment 1: • Changes were made to the study objectives, safety endpoints, and safety analyses; • The instructions for administering the second dose of 5 mg of USL261 were modified; • The duration of the study was increased to a maximum of 2 years from the date of enrollment; • The number of study centers listed in the study design was removed; • Changes were made to the inclusion and exclusion criteria; • Changes were made to permitted and prohibited medications and substances; • The reporting requirements for serious adverse events (SAEs) that occurred greater than 30 days after Final Visit or Early termination (ET) Visit were corrected; • Caregivers were required to follow the rescue protocol specified in the participant’s patient management plan (PMP) if the participant had < 8 breaths per minute, was excessively and uncharacteristically sedated, had persistent or recurrent seizure activity, or other safety concern; • Changes to the efficacy endpoints and analyses: − Time to return to baseline functionality was to be summarized instead of time to cessation of seizures, − Definition of recurrence of seizures was clarified, − Recurrence of seizures was expanded from between 10 minutes and 4 hours after study drug administration to between 10 minutes and 6 hours after study drug administration, − The occurrence of seizures between 10 minutes and 4 hours after study drug administration was to be included as an exploratory analysis. |
||||||
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. |
||||||
20 May 2015 |
Amendment 4: • The B-SIT was added to assess the long-term effects of USL261 on olfaction (United States only); • The introduction section was updated to include the results of Study P261-201, a single-center, inpatient trial investigating the safety, tolerability, PK, and pharmacodynamics of escalating single- and 2-dose regimens of USL261 compared with placebo in adult participants with epilepsy. |
