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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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
    - To obtain information about the safety of Lacosamide (LCM) during long-term exposure - To obtain data on seizure reduction and the maintenance of efficacy by LCM during long-term exposure - To allow subjects who had completed an LCM epilepsy study to receive LCM
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subject’s informed consent was obtained and documented in accordance with local regulations, ICH-GCP requirements, and to 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.

    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 variables for this study were all aimed at evaluating the long term safety of LCM using descriptive data summaries. Analysis of seizure reduction was considered secondary/ exploratory and was descriptive only. No statistical comparisons were planned based on the nature of the study design (no treatment comparator, open label flexible dosing, etc).

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    05 Apr 2005
    This amendment provided information regarding an additional study (SP0757) with an iv formulation of LCM in which subjects at selected sites of the SP0756 study were eligible to participate. In addition, the number of subjects allowed to enroll in the prerequisite double-blind study (SP754) was increased, leading to a longer enrollment period for the SP756 study. Therefore, the estimated number of subjects and the duration of this study were increased.
    19 May 2006
    This amendment provided further specifications concerning the withdrawal criteria regarding cardiac function. Administrative changes were also made.
    20 Mar 2008
    This amendment provided information regarding an extension of the study duration by 2 years to ensure that all subjects had access to LCM until it was otherwise (eg, commercially) available.
    12 Jan 2009
    This amendment provided additional detail for the procedures to be followed for subjects who discontinued from the study prematurely and for subjects who completed the study.
