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.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The objective of this study is to evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of lacosamide in children with epilepsy, aged 1 month to 17 years.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Informed consent were obtained from the subject’s parent/ legal guardian and documented in accordance with local regulations, ICH-GCP requirements, and the ethical principles that have their origin in the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. When possible or as required by the local IRB/IEC, assent was obtained from the subject. Prior to obtaining informed consent, information was given in a language and at a level of complexity understandable to the subject and/ or the subject’s parent/legal guardian in both oral and written form by the investigator or designee. Each subject and/or subject’s parent/legal guardian had the opportunity to discuss the study and its alternatives with the investigator.
    Background therapy
    Subject had been prescribed LCM for the treatment of epilepsy for at least 1 month prior to Screening and had not been prescribed or maintained on LCM for the purposes of participating in this study. Lacosamide dose was stable for at least 7 days, and intake of the prescribed total daily dose confirmed for at least 3 days prior to participation. Subject was on a stable AED dosage regimen. The daily dosage regimen of concomitant AED(s) therapy must have been kept stable for a period of at least 1 week (7 days) prior to participation.

    The total number of subjects experiencing at least one Adverse Event (AE) during the study [1]
    End point description
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.

    End point timeframe
    AEs began to be collected at Screening and lasted through the Follow-up Period (approximately 19 days).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    08 Apr 2011
    The primary purpose of this substantial amendment was to introduce the stratification of subjects by age category to ensure that an appropriate number of subjects were included in each age range. This stratification was based on recommendations received from the United States' Federal Drug Administration (FDA) at a Type C meeting held on 07 Mar 2011.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Study SP1047 was terminated prematurely as sufficient pharmacokinetic data had been collected to determine the dosing scheme for subsequent studies.
