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
    To evaluate the safety and efficacy of gabapentin in the 52 weeks as add-on therapy in the treatment of pediatric subjects with partial seizures (including secondarily generalized) when other antiepileptics do not provide satisfactory effects.
    Protection of trial subjects

    Number of Subjects With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (All Causalities and Treatment-Related) [1]
    End point description
    Any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received study drug was considered an adverse event (AE), without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Treatment-emergent adverse events: those which occurred or worsened after baseline. Severe AEs: those which interferes significantly with subject's usual function. An AE resulting in any of the following outcomes, was considered to be a serious adverse event: death; life-threatening; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect. Safety analysis set: All subjects who have received at least one dose of the study drug.

    Response Ratio
    End point description
    The Response Ratio calculated by the following equation : Response Ratio = (T minus B) divided by (T plus B), where T is seizure frequency per 28 days (i.e., the number of seizures per 28 days) calculated from the total number of seizures for the 52-week treatment period, and B is seizure frequency per 28 days (i.e., the number of seizures per 28 days) calculated from the total number of seizures for the 6-week baseline period of the previous study A9451162 (NCT00603473). Intent to treat (ITT): Subjects who have received at least one dose of the study drug and in whom the number of epileptic seizures used for efficacy assessment has been counted in both the baseline and treatment periods. n=number of subjects who have total number of seizures at each assessment time point.

    Responder Rate was defined as the percentage of subjects with a 50 percent or greater reduction in the seizure frequency per 28 days for the 52-week treatment period in comparison with the frequency per 28 days for the 6-week baseline period of the previous study A9451162 (NCT00603473). Intent to treat (ITT): Subjects who have received at least one dose of the study drug and in whom the number of epileptic seizures used for efficacy assessment has been counted in both the baseline and treatment periods. n=number of subjects who have total number of seizures at each assessment time point.

    Percent change in seizure frequency (PCH) was calculated as follows: PCH = 100*(T minus B) divided by B, where T is seizure frequency per 28 days (i.e., the number of seizures per 28 days) calculated from the total number of seizures for the 52-week treatment period, and B is seizure frequency per 28 days (i.e., the number of seizures per 28 days) calculated from the total number of seizures for the 6-week baseline period of the previous study A9451162 (NCT00603473).
