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   44363   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7387   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
    The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of LCM administered concomitantly with 1 to 3 AEDs in subjects ≥1 month to <4 years of age with epilepsy who currently have uncontrolled partial-onset seizures.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LCM in subjects ≥1 month to <4 years of age with epilepsy who currently have uncontrolled partial-onset seizures.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Subject is male or female from ≥1 month (ie, 4 weeks after full term [37 weeks gestational age]) to <4 years of age.
    • Subject has a diagnosis of epilepsy with partial-onset seizures. The results of ≥1 prior EEG and ≥1 magnetic resonance imaging/computerized tomography scan should be consistent with this diagnosis.
    • Subject weighs ≥4kg to <30kg at Visit 1.
    • Subject has experienced ≥2 partial-onset seizures with or without secondary generalization during each consecutive 7-day period during the 2 weeks prior to Visit 1.
    • Subject has ≥2 partial-onset seizures with or without secondary generalization during the End-of-Baseline video-EEG. Electrographic seizures are defined as recognizable ictal patterns on an EEG involving ≥2 contiguous electrodes. The seizures are initiated as a unilateral or strongly asymmetric abnormal epileptiform discharge lasting a total of >10 seconds.
    • Subject is on a stable (concurrently or sequentially) dosage regimen of 1 to 3 AEDs. The dosage regimen of concomitant AED therapy must be kept constant for a period of ≥2 weeks prior to Visit 1. A stable daily dosage regimen of a concomitant benzodiazepine (BZD) will be considered as a concomitant AED.
    • Vagus nerve stimulation is allowed and will not be counted as a concomitant AED. The VNS device must have been implanted for ≥6 months prior to Visit 1; device settings must be kept stable for ≥2 weeks prior to Visit 1 and kept stable during the Baseline, Treatment, and Transition Periods. Use of the VNS device magnet is allowed.
    • Subject is an acceptable candidate for venipuncture
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    • Subject has experienced febrile seizures exclusively. The occurrence of febrile seizures in addition to partial-onset seizures is not exclusionary.
    • Subject is on a ketogenic diet that has either changed within the 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 or is expected to change during the study.
    • Subject has creatinine clearance <30mL/minute.
    • Subject has a clinically relevant ECG abnormality, in the opinion of the investigator (eg, second or third degree heart block at rest or a corrected QT interval [QTc] ≥450ms).
    • Subject has a hemodynamically significant congenital heart disease.
    • Subject has an arrhythmic heart condition requiring medical therapy.
    • Subject has a known history of severe anaphylactic reaction secondary to medication intake or serious blood dyscrasias.
    • Subject has nonepileptic events that could be confused with seizures. Subjects may be included if epileptic events can be clearly distinguished and the frequency meets the study inclusion criteria.
    • Subject has a current diagnosis of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, epilepsia partialis continua, primary generalized epilepsy, Dravet Syndrome, or seizures that are not of partial-onset origin.
    • Subject has a history of status epilepticus ≤2 months prior to Screening (Visit 1).
    • Subject has been treated with felbamate and has experienced any serious toxicity issues (defined as liver failure, aplastic anemia) with this treatment. Subjects treated with felbamate for <12 months are excluded. Subjects treated with felbamate for ≥12 months prior to Visit 1 and who have not experienced serious toxicity issues are eligible.
    • Subject has an acute or subacutely progressive central nervous system disease. Subject has epilepsy secondary to a progressing cerebral disease or any other progressively neurodegenerative disease (malignant brain tumor or Rasmussen Syndrome).
    • Subject has a known sodium channelopathy, such as Brugada syndrome.
