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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The purpose of this study was to identify subject characteristics (such as baseline seizure frequency) that were predict of effective doses of topiramate initiated as monotherapy in epilepsy. Topiramate is an anti-epileptic drug that is approved for the treatment of epilepsy in adults and children 2 years of age and above.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Safety and tolerability evaluations for this study included monitoring of adverse events and clinical laboratory tests (liver function and electrolytes). Urine pregnancy tests were performed on women of childbearing potential.

    Subjects were compared for the mean stabilized Topiramate dose during the last 28 days of treatment between Subjects Reporting 1 to 3 seizures versus subjects reporting more than 3 seizures. The analysis was performed on modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population which included subjects who were treated for at least 12 weeks, that had reached a stabilized dose during the last 28 days of the study, and were on topiramate monotherapy at the end of the trial.
