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   44347   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7375   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
    Participants who received Placebo in study EP0083 (NCT03083665) and completed the Treatment and Transition Period of study EP0083 are rolled over to this study and received brivaracetam (BRV) 50 milligram per day (mg/day) two times (bid) (in total 100 mg/day) at Visit 1 (study entry) and were maintained at this dose for at least 2 weeks unless the participant was unable to tolerate treatment during evaluation period (from Visit 1 to end of study visit or early discontinuation visit i.e. up to 84 months). Upon completion or early discontinuation from EP0085, there was a Down-Titration Period of 4 weeks to decrease in dose in steps on a weekly basis, up to 25 mg/day, followed by a 2-week Study Drug-Free Period during which the participant did not receive study drug. The BRV dose was adjusted (based on the individual participants’ s seizure control and tolerability) between 50 mg/day and 200 mg/day during the study.

    Percentage of participants with Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [1]
    End point description
    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) were defined as AEs that had onset on or after the day of first BRV dose in EP0085 study. The Safety Set consisted of all participants who took at least 1 dose of study medication.

    End point description
    The seizure frequency was calculated as number of seizures per 28 days. 50% responders were defined as a participant with a >= 50% reduction in seizure frequency from the baseline period over the post-baseline period. Percentages are based on the number of participants who performed the seizure assessment at each time point. The FAS consisted of all participants who took at least 1 dose of study medication and have at least 1 seizure record on DRC during the Evaluation Period.

Percent change of 28 day PSF from Baseline was defined as the percentage reduction of 28 day PSF for a designated post-baseline period in EP0085 compared with the Baseline 28 day PSF in the core study. Change in seizure frequency from Baseline was calculated: percent change = ([Baseline 28 day PSF − Post Baseline 28 day PSF]/[Baseline 28 day PSF]) × 100. For rollovers, the Baseline period was obtained from the core studies of EP0083 and N01358 directly. A negative value in percent change from Baseline indicates a decrease in PSF from Baseline. The Full Analysis Set (FAS) consisted of all participants who took at least 1 dose of study medication and have at least 1 seizure record on Daily Record Card (DRC) during the Evaluation Period.

    End point description
    The seizure frequency for directly enrolled participants was calculated as number of seizures per 28 days from 8 weeks prior to BRV administration. 50% responders were defined as a participant with a >= 50% reduction in seizure frequency from the Baseline Period over the post-baseline period. Percentages are based on the number of participants who performed the seizure assessment at each time point. For direct enrollers, the Baseline Period was defined as seizure counts collected from 8 weeks prior to the first BRV administration in EP0085. The FAS consisted of all participants who took at least 1 dose of study medication and have at least 1 seizure record on DRC during the Evaluation Period.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    28 Jan 2019
    Protocol amendment 2 (dated 28 Jan 2019): A total of 32 participants were enrolled at the time of this amendment. The following changes were made: • Updated the number of participants based on randomization of EP0083 and N01379 sites in Japan. • Updated safety variables. • Updated participating countries. • Included IEC. In addition, minor administrative edits, including typographical changes for formatting, were made.
    20 Nov 2019
    Protocol amendment 3 (dated 20 Nov 2019): A total of 56 participants were enrolled at the time of this amendment. The following changes were made: • Updated the Sponsor/Local Legal Representatives. • Added China as a participating country. • Included serious adverse event (SAE) reporting information for China. • Updated the number of participants expected to enter the study. • Changed exploratory safety variable to other safety variable. In addition, minor administrative edits, including typographical changes for formatting, were made.
    15 Mar 2023
    Protocol amendment 4 (dated 15 Mar 2023): A total of 207 participants were enrolled at the time of this amendment. The following changes were made: • Updated the Study Contact Information. • Changed the primary safety variable from adverse events (AEs) to treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), in alignment with other studies across the brivaracetam development program. • Deleted mental status/psychiatric status from the list of other safety variables to be collected; abnormal findings upon physical or neurological examination were to be recorded as AEs. • Changed the planned duration of EP0085 to allow participants to continue in the study until market approval in countries where market approval will be requested and for 2 years in countries where market approval will not be requested or obtained. • Added details regarding EP0085 study participants’ participation in EP0118 for clarification purposes. • Added to the study withdrawal criteria that a suicide attempt will necessitate a participant’s withdrawal from the study. - This will eliminate the risk of another suicide attempt or completed suicide during the study in cases where the participant’s recent suicidal ideation was not accurately reflected by the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C SSRS). • Added information regarding numbering of directly enrolled participants entering the study. • Added a statement for TEAE and SAE disclosure on public registries per the current UCB protocol template. • Removed 2 efficacy analyses from the previous list of analyses planned for all participants per SAP amendments implemented following EP0085 protocol approval. • Corrected the handling of protocol deviations text as there was no pooling of stratification levels for statistical analysis and there were no statistical assumptions for the primary analysis for this study. In addition, minor clarifications and administrative edits including typographical changes for formatting were made.
