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   44196   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7329   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
    First Period: The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of Levetiracetam (LEV) dry syrup at doses up to a maximum of 60 mg/kg/day or 3000 mg/day used as an adjunctive therapy in Japanese pediatric subjects aged ≥4 to <16 years and with uncontrolled partial seizures despite treatment with 1 or 2 anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs). Second Period: To provide LEV treatment to subjects who were judged by the investigators to benefit from long-term treatment and who are willing to continuously receive this drug and to continuously evaluate the safety of long-term administration of LEV at doses ranging from 20 mg/kg/day or 1000 mg/day to 60 mg/kg/day or 3000 mg/day in subjects who completed the First Period of this study.

    Primary: Change from Baseline in partial seizure frequency per week over the 14-weeks Treatment Period

    End point title
    Change from Baseline in partial seizure frequency per week over the 14-weeks Treatment Period [1]
    End point description
    The change in partial seizure frequency from Baseline (B) over the Treatment Period (T) is given as a percentage reduction computed as: (B values- T values) / B values x 100. Positive values in percent reduction mean that the value decreased from Baseline during the first 14-week Period. Frequency per week of partial seizures = (Total number of partial seizures in a certain Period/number of observation days in the Period) x 7. Partial seizures can be classified into: - Simple partial seizures - Complex partial seizures - Partial seizures evolving to secondarily generalized seizures.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: The efficacy of LEV in this study was considered positive if the lower limit of the 2-sided 95 % CI of the median percentage reduction in the partial seizure frequency per week was greater than 16.3 %. This was based on the median percentage reduction of the seizure frequency per week in the placebo in N159. Furthermore, a percentage reduction greater than 16.3 % was considered clinically relevant. Descriptive statistics with 95 % CI of the median percentage reduction were presented.
