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
    The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the rapid initiation of adjunctive lacosamide (LCM) via a single intravenous (iv) loading dose (iv LCM 200 mg, 300 mg, or 400 mg) and oral LCM maintenance treatment in adult subjects with partial-onset seizures.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subject’s informed consent was obtained 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. Prior to obtaining informed consent, information was given, in a language and at a level of complexity understandable to the subject, in both oral and written form by the investigator or designee. Each subject had the opportunity to discuss the trial and its alternatives with the investigator.

    Number of subjects with at least one adverse event during the treatment period (up to 7 days) [1]
    End point description
    An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence (eg, noxious or pathological changes) in a subject or clinical investigation subject compared with pre-existing conditions, that occurs during any period of a clinical trial including Pre-treatment, Run-In, Wash-Out, or Follow-Up Periods. An AE is defined as being independent of assumption of any causality (eg, to study or concomitant medication, primary or concomitant disease, or study design).

    End point timeframe
    Treatment period (up to 7 days)
    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 primary objective of this open-label study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single iv loading dose of lacosamide in subjects aged 16 to 60 years. The purpose of the study was to provide a description of the safety profile of a single iv loading dose of lacosamide across several safety variables. Therefore no statistical comparisons were applied in this safety study.

    Date
    Amendment
