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 ).

    At the completion of EP0008 [NCT01710657], all participants who enrolled in EP0009 were administered a dose of 200 mg/day lacosamide (LCM). The LCM dose may have been decreased to 100 mg/day or increased, no faster than 100 mg/day per week, up to 400 mg/day, at the investigator's discretion.

    Dosage and administration details
    Lacosamide (LCM) was supplied as immediate-release, film-coated, tablets in strengths of 50 mg (pinkish) and 100 mg (dark yellow). LCM was orally administered bid (once in the morning and once in the evening) in 2 equally divided doses. The LCM dose may have been decreased to 100 mg/day or increased, no faster than 100 mg/day per week, up to 400 mg/day. Increasing the dose of LCM should have been done at a visit (scheduled or unscheduled). The LCM dose must have remained stable during changes to concomitant antiepileptic drugs [AED(s)].

    End point description
    An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
