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   44364   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7388   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 ).

Participant was regarded as not meeting the criteria for absence seizure freedom if they received any permitted antiepileptic drugs including benzodiazepine in the 4 days prior to the EEG or during the EEG. Participants who continue in the study beyond 2 years have their data truncated at Year 2 Month 24 yearly evaluation visit (YEV).

    During the study, participants kept diary to record daily seizure activity from entry visit (Visit 1) until final visit. Each seizure type experienced were recorded. Participant was considered as not meeting criteria for absence seizure freedom if they use any permitted anti-epileptic drugs at any time during the period, and/or complete less than 80% of diaries during the period. Evaluation Period includes all daily seizure diary data over Evaluation Period up to Month 24 YEV, this includes data from end of Months 22 to 24 up to Month 24 YEV where this data is truncated. If a participant does not attend Month 24 YEV then data was truncated at last day participant is in Evaluation Period in Month 24 YEV window. Participants who continue in study beyond 2 years have their data truncated at Year 2 Month 24 YEV, or last day participant was in Evaluation Period in Month 24 YEV window if this visit is not attended.

    Childhood Absence Epilepsy (CAE): Brivaracetam
    Reporting group description
    Participants with CAE entered Evaluation Period to receive BRV, tablet or oral solution dose of 100 mg/day(or equivalent doses of 2 mg/kg/day for participants weighing <50 kg).Dose could be adjusted after 3 days from 50-200 mg/day(or equivalent dose of 1-4 mg/kg/day for participants <50 kg)based on individual needs.Maximum allowed daily dose =200 mg/day (or equivalent dose of 4 mg/kg/day for participants <50 kg).Duration per participant was 2 years minimum,until approval of BRV for indication of CAE was obtained for pediatric participants in their age range,until MAP was established as allowed per country-specific requirements and legal/regulatory guidelines, or until investigational product development in related indication is stopped by Sponsor, whichever come first. Participants transitioned to another BRV study EP0224(NCT06315322)/MAP/similar program/who convert to commercial BRV, FV instead of EDV needed; down-titration(dose reduction to half during 4 weeks); SV not applicable.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    08 Sep 2020
    Protocol Amendment 1 was dated 08 Sept 2020. The purpose of this substantial amendment was to remove all decentralized study components as it was decided that all participant visits will occur on site. Centrally read 24-hour electroencephalogram (EEGs) were removed; locally read 1-hour EEGs that reflect normal clinical practice will be used in this study. In addition, the Conners Continuous Performance Tests (CPT), Achenbach Childhood Behavior Checklist (CBCL), and EuroQol 5- Dimension (EQ-5D) Quality of Life Assessments have been removed from the list of participantand caregiver-reported outcomes and the wearable EEG (SeizeIT) substudy has been removed.
    29 Mar 2021
    Protocol Amendment 2 was dated 29 Mar 2021. The purpose of this substantial amendment was to address Health Authority feedback, correct minor errors/inconsistencies, provide additional clarifying information.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    EP0132 enrolled fewer participants than expected (approximately 140) so it was closed prematurely, followed by initiation of managed access program EP0225 (NCTID not applicable) and its replacement with the new open-label study EP0224 (NCT06315322).
