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   43850   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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 ).

    Arm description
    Lacosamide (LCM) was administered orally, twice daily from 200 mg/day to 600 mg/day, in 2 divided doses at approximately 12 hour intervals in the morning and in the evening. The investigator may have maintained the subject’s LCM dose, decreased the dose in decrements of 100 mg/day per week to a minimum dose of LCM 200 mg/day, or increased the dose in increments of 100 mg/day per week up to a maximum dose of LCM 600 mg/day. Participants stopping LCM should have been tapered off LCM at recommended decreasing steps of 200 mg/day/week. A slower taper (eg, 100 mg/day/week) or faster taper was permitted but the duration of tapering should not have exceeded 6 weeks.

    Percentage of participants experiencing any Adverse Events (AEs) reported spontaneously by the subject and/or caregiver or observed by Investigator [1]
    End point description
    An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study medication, whether or not considered related to the study medication. An AE could, therefore, be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study medication. The SS consisted of all study participants in the ES who received at least 1 dose of study medication in SP1042.
