About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-label Trial to Investigate the Safety and Tolerability of Intravenous SPM 927 as Replacement for Oral SPM 927 in Subjects With Partial Seizures With or Without Secondary Generalization.

Subjects enrolled in the SP615, SP756, or SP774 open-label extension (OLE) trials receiving oral SPM 927 for at least 8 weeks and a stable dose of up to 3 antiepileptic medications may participate in a research trial at approximately 30 locations.

Trial objectives include investigating whether iv SPM 927 is safe and well tolerated when given twice daily for a short period of time and identifying the appropriate infusion rate(s).

Read more

Subjects will receive SPM 927 as a 30-, 15- or 10- minute infusions twice daily for 2 - 5 days based on notification by the research doctor and subject choice. Subjects will remain on the same stable dose as received in the OLE trial.

Trial procedures will include medical history update, physical/ neurological exams, ECGs, blood /urine sample collections and seizure diary completion.

Subjects completing the trial will return to the OLE trial to resume dosing with oral SPM 927.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of lacosamide when given as iv infusions in subjects who are receiving oral lacosamide in addition to up to 3 concomitant AEDs for partial seizures. The primary variables are adverse events

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Seizure counts, trough and measured maximum concentration for lacosamide as well as the O-desmethyl-metabolite.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing SPM 927 in people with Epilepsies, Partial, run by UCB Pharma at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate the safety and tolerability of lacosamide when given as iv infusions in subjects who are receiving oral lacosamide in addition to up to 3 concomitant AEDs for partial seizures. The primary variables are adverse events. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00151879, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Sep 2014.
