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   43387   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7179   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.

    		 Participants received matching Placebo as film-coated tablets, administered orally, twice daily (bid), during 12 weeks of Treatment Period. At the end of the Treatment Period, participants who entered long-term follow-up (LTFU) study (EP0085 (NCT03250377)) or managed access program (MAP), the same matching Placebo dose was kept during 2 weeks of Transition Period and brivaracetam (BRV) 100 milligrams/day (mg/day) in LTFU study or MAP. Participants who did not enter the LTFU study or MAP had 4 weeks Down-Titration Period followed by a Study Drug-Free Period (no drug for 2 weeks). During Down-Titration Period, participants received the same Placebo dose for 4 weeks.

    Justification: The milestones were created based on the the fact if Participants were conveyed to LTFU and MAP or not and hence whether they took BRV through Transition or Down-Titration Periods.

    [10] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: These are the participants who were assigned to enter MAP but who could not directly convert to MAP; started after the end date of the Transition Period and continued until date when participant could convert to MAP, BRV was commercially available or until UCB decides to close the study.

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Treatment-Emergent AEs were defined as AEs which had onset on or after the first dose of IMP. As per planned analysis, safety data for all study periods was combined excluding Open-Label Temporary period. The Safety Set (SS) included all randomized study participants who received at least 1 dose of IMP.

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Treatment-Emergent AEs were defined as AEs which had onset on or after the first dose of IMP.

    		 Partial seizure frequency per 28 days during the 12-week Treatment Period
    End point description
    According to International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) classification (1981), seizures were classified as type IA (IA1, IA2, IA3, and IA4), IB, IC, II (IIA, IIB, IIC, IID, IIE, and IIF) or III. 28 day adjusted seizure frequency for partial seizures (seizure types IA+IB+IC) was calculated for treatment period by dividing the number of partial seizures by the number of days for which the DRC was completed for treatment period and multiplying the resulting value by 28. The Full Analysis Set (FAS) consisted of all randomized study participants who received at least 1 dose of IMP and had at least 1 post Baseline seizure daily record card (DRC) data during the Treatment Period.
