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.

    D.8 Information on Placebo
    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Electroencephalographic neonatal seizures
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Electroencephalographic neonatal seizures
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Diseases [C] - Nervous System Diseases [C10]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of brivaracetam (BRV) in neonates who have seizures that are not adequately controlled with previous antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment and to identify the optimum BRV dose (Exploratory Cohort) for the treatment of subjects enrolled into the Confirmatory Cohorts of this study
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    - To evaluate the efficacy of brivaracetam (BRV) in severe and nonsevere seizure burden (defined as total minutes of electroencephalographic neonatal seizures [ENS] per hour) in neonates with seizures that are not adequately controlled with previous antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment
    - To evaluate the short-term safety and tolerability of BRV in neonates
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    - Confirmation on video-electroencephalography (VEEG) of >= 2 minutes of cumulative electroencephalographic neonatal seizures (ENS), or >=3 identifiable ENS prior to entering the Evaluation Period, despite receiving previous antiepileptic drug treatment for the treatment of electroencephalographic seizures. The occurrence of ENS during an up to 1-hour period must be confirmed either by the local or central VEEG reader prior to drug administration. Preferably, the central VEEG reader should confirm the required ENS.
    - Subject is male or female and must be at least 34 weeks CGA. In addition, term neonates up to 27 days of PNA and preterm neonates up to 40 weeks of CGA and 27 days of PNA can be enrolled.
    - Subject weighs at least 2.3 kg at the time of enrollment.
    - Subjects with or without concomitant hypothermia treatment.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    - Subject receiving antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment other than phenobarbital, midazolam, phenytoin, levetiracetam (≤60 mg/kg/day), or lidocaine for the treatment of seizures prior to or
    at the time of enrollment (Confirmatory Cohorts only)
    - Subject with seizures responding to any of the following: previous AED treatment immediately prior to BRV treatment, pyridoxine treatment, or correction of metabolic disturbances (hypoglycemia, hypomagnesemia, or hypocalcemia)
    - Subject requires extra corporeal membrane oxygenation
    - Subject has seizures related to prenatal maternal drug use or drug withdrawal
    - Subject has known severe disturbance of hemostasis, as assessed by the Investigator
    - Subject has a poor prognosis for survival, as judged by the Investigator
    - Subject has 2x upper limit of normal (ULN) of any of the following: aspartate aminotransferase AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), with the following exception:
    For subjects with perinatal asphyxia, elevation of AST, ALT or ALP <5x ULN is acceptable, if initial and peak elevation of liver function tests (LFTs) occurs within 5 days after birth, and the time course of LFT elevation is compatible with hepatic injury due to perinatal asphyxia. The determination of ULN will be based on the subject's gestational age (GA) and the site’s normal range values for the respective GA
    - Subject has direct (conjugated) bilirubin levels >2 mg/dL
    - Subject requiring or expected to require phototherapy or exchange transfusion due to elevated bilirubin
    - Subject with rapidly increasing bilirubin that may preclude the subject from inclusion in the study at the discretion of the Investigator.
