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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 objectives of this study were to: • Allow subjects who completed the SP925 study or terminated from the study (Cohorts 2, 3, and 4 only) due to an intolerable adverse event(s) (AE[s]) to continue Lacosamide (LCM) • Obtain additional long-term safety information for LCM
    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.

    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).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    01 Oct 2008
    SP0926 protocol amendment 1 included the following key changes: • Administrative changes including contact and title information for the Associate Clinical Program Director, the Sr. Clinical Project Manager, the Clinical Trial Biostatistician, and the Associate Medical Director (Medical Therapeutics) were incorporated in the protocol • Current information on the Central Laboratory Services and Central Electrocardiogram Services were included in the protocol • Information in the protocol text was corrected to state that in SP925, subjects in Cohort 2 received Lacosamide (LCM) 300 mg/day (not 200 mg/day) and subjects in Cohort 3 received LCM 400mg/day (not 300 mg/day) • For consistency with the Phase 3 LCM epilepsy adjunctive therapy program, text was added to permit subjects who withdrew from Cohort 2 or 3 in SP0925 due to lack of tolerability to begin SP0926 at a dose as low as LCM 100mg/day increasing the dose no faster than 100 mg/day per week up to a maximum dose of LCM 800 mg/day, based on tolerability • To clarify that IVRS was to be contacted during Unscheduled Visits irrespective of drug dispensation, the wording ‘if applicable’ was removed from Section 5.1.6. • To allow consistency in the observations of the neurological exam between this oral LCM epilepsy study and the oral LCM epilepsy Phase 2/3 program, conduct of the neurological examination was modified to be performed by clinicians with documented training in neurological exams • For clarification, ‘8 weeks’ was added to the Frequency of Visits under ‘Term’ in the Schedule of Procedures (Section 15.1) • For consistency with the LCM epilepsy adjunctive therapy program, as well as appropriate safety oversight, additional phone calls were included where there was a significant time period between visits/frequency of visits had decreased • Information on the window periods was added to the individual visits in Section 5.1 for clarity
    06 Oct 2009
    SP926 protocol amendment 2 included the following key changes: • Detail was added to the protocol to allow subjects who, in consultation with the investigator, chose to initiate treatment with commercially available Lacosamide (LCM) at the end of the study, to do so without taper. In addition, details were added for subjects who chose not to initiate treatment with commercial LCM at the end of the study • The liver function test (LFT) withdrawal criteria were revised to reflect the Sponsor’s current understanding of the safety profile of LCM based on a comprehensive review of the data from clinical studies • The Adverse Events (AE)s of special interest were revised to reflect the Sponsor’s current understanding of the potential risks of LCM based on a comprehensive review of the data from clinical studies and commitments to regulatory agencies • Lacosamide was classified as a controlled substance in the US; thus, it was necessary to add this information to the protocol • The remainder of the changes in this amendment were administrative
