What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Seizure-free Participants (Responders) During Efficacy Assessment Phase

    Responders = participants who achieved any 6 consecutive months (>182 days) of seizure-freedom (absence of partial seizures, generalized seizures and unclassified epileptic seizures) during the 52 week efficacy assessment phase.

    Measured: Week 5 up to Week 56

Secondary outcomes (17)
  1. Time to 6 Consecutive Months of Seizure-freedom After 4-week Dose Escalation Phase: All Seizures

    Time in days, from first day of study medication to the first 6 months of seizure freedom after Day 28. Participants who did not achieve 6 months seizure freedom after Day 28 were censored from analysis.

    Measured: Week 4 up to Week 56

  2. Exit Due to Adverse Events During the Double-blind Treatment Phase (Including Dose Escalation Phase)

    Number of participants who exited the study due to adverse events during the double-blind treatment period. Time in days, from first day of study treatment to day of exit from the study due to an adverse event (ie, last day on study medication) during the double blind treatment period (including dose escalation phase) was inestimable. Observations with other reasons for exiting or participants who did not exit the study were right censored as of the last day on study medication.

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 56

  3. Exit for Any Reason During the Double-blind Treatment Phase (Including Dose Escalation Phase)

    Number of participants who exited the study for any reason during the double blind treatment phase. Time in days, from first day of study treatment to day of exit from the study due to any reason (ie, last day on study medication) was inestimable. Participants who did not exit the study were right censored as of the last day on study medication.

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 56

  4. Exit Due to Lack of Efficacy After 4-week Dose Escalation Phase

    Number of participants who exited the study due to lack of efficacy after the 4-week dose escalation phase. Time in days, from first day of study treatment to day of exit due to lack of efficacy after Day 28 of the escalation phase (ie, last day on study medication) was inestimable. Participants who did not exit or exited for a different reason were right censored as of the last day on study medication.

    Measured: Week 4 up to Week 56

  5. Exit Due to Any Reason After 4-week Dose Escalation Phase

    Number of participants who exited the study due to any reason after the 4-week dose escalation phase. Time in days, from first day of study treatment to day of exit after Day 28 of the study due to any reason (ie, last day on study medication) was inestimable. Participants who did not exit or did not reach this phase were right censored as of the last day on study medication.

    Measured: Week 4 up to Week 56

  6. Time to First Seizure After the 4-Week Dose Escalation Phase

    Time in days, from first day of study treatment to the day of first seizure after Day 28 of the escalation phase (ie, last day on study medication). Participants who did not reach this phase or who did not have a seizure after Day 28 were right censored from the analysis as of the last day on study medication.

    Measured: Week 4 up to Week 56

  7. Median Monthy Seizure Frequency: All Partial Seizures

    All partial seizures include complex partial seizures, simple partial seizures, and partial seizures evolving to secondarily generalized seizures. Seizure frequency based on 28-day seizure rate: number (#) of seizures in period (month) divided by # days in period minus # of missing diary days in period * 28. Month of time = number of months after Week 4 (Dose Escalation).

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 60

  8. Mean Monthy Seizure Frequency: All Partial Seizures

    All partial seizures include complex partial seizures, simple partial seizures, and partial seizures evolving to secondarily generalized seizures. Seizure frequency based on 28-day seizure rate: number (#) of seizures in period (month) divided by # days in period minus # of missing diary days in period * 28. Month of time = number of months after Week 4 (Dose Escalation).

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 60

  9. Median Monthy Seizure Frequency: All Seizures

    Seizure frequency based on 28-day seizure rate: number (#) of seizures in period (month) divided by # days in period minus # of missing diary days in period * 28. Month of time = number of months after Week 4 (Dose Escalation).

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 60

  10. Mean Monthy Seizure Frequency: All Seizures

    Seizure frequency based on 28-day seizure rate: number (#) of seizures in period (month) divided by # days in period minus # of missing diary days in period * 28. Month of time = number of months after Week 4 (Dose Escalation).

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 60

  11. Median Monthy Seizure Frequency of Responders for the Months After Achieving 6 Consecutive Months of Seizure Freedom: All Partial Seizures

    All partial seizures include complex partial seizures, simple partial seizures, and partial seizures evolving to secondarily generalized seizures. Seizure frequency based on 28-day seizure rate: number (#) of seizures in period (month) divided by # days in period minus # of missing diary days in period * 28. Responder = participant who achieved at least 6 months of seizure freedom after Week 4 and up to Week 56. Monthly seizure frequency measured from day of achievement of 6 months of seizure freedom.

    Measured: Month 1 through Month 9 (after 6 months seizure freedom achieved)

  12. Mean Monthy Seizure Frequency of Responders for the Months After Achieving 6 Consecutive Months of Seizure Freedom: All Partial Seizures

    All partial seizures include complex partial seizures, simple partial seizures, and partial seizures evolving to secondarily generalized seizures. Seizure frequency based on 28-day seizure rate: number (#) of seizures in period (month) divided by # days in period minus # of missing diary days in period * 28. Responder = participant who achieved at least 6 months of seizure freedom after Week 4 and up to Week 56. Monthly seizure frequency measured from day of achievement of 6 months of seizure freedom.

    Measured: Month 1 through Month 9 (after 6 months seizure freedom achieved)

  13. Median Monthy Seizure Frequency of Responders for the Months After Achieving 6 Consecutive Months of Seizure Freedom: All Seizures

    Seizure frequency based on 28-day seizure rate: number (#) of seizures in period (month) divided by # days in period minus # of missing diary days in period * 28. Responder = participant who achieved at least 6 months of seizure freedom after Week 4 and up to Week 56. Monthly seizure frequency measured from day of achievement of 6 months of seizure freedom.

    Measured: Month 1 through Month 9 (after 6 months seizure freedom achieved)

  14. Mean Monthy Seizure Frequency of Responders for the Months After Achieving 6 Consecutive Months of Seizure Freedom: All Seizures

    Seizure frequency based on 28-day seizure rate: number (#) of seizures in period (month) divided by # days in period minus # of missing diary days in period * 28. Responder = participant who achieved at least 6 months of seizure freedom after Week 4 and up to Week 56. Monthly seizure frequency measured from day of achievement of 6 months of seizure freedom.

    Measured: Month 1 through Month 9 (after 6 months seizure freedom achieved)

  15. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved at Least 6 Consecutive Months of Seizure Freedom (Responders) by Final Dosage Levels and Treatment Group

    Responder = participant who achieved at least 6-months of seizure freedom (all seizures) after Week 4, and up to Week 56. Dose Level defined as last total-daily-dose received after Week 4, and up to Week 56.

    Measured: Week 5 up to Week 56

  16. Change From Baseline to Week 56 in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)

    Participant rated questionnaire with 2 subscales. HADS-A assesses state of generalized anxiety (anxious mood, restlessness, anxious thoughts, panic attacks); HADS-D assesses state of lost interest and diminished pleasure response (lowering of hedonic tone). Each subscale comprised of 7 items; range: 0 (no presence of anxiety or depression) to 3 (severe feeling of anxiety or depression). Total score 0 to 21 for each subscale; higher score indicates greater severity of symptoms. Scores relative to start of randomized treatment.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 56

  17. Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale (MOS-SS): Optimal Sleep Subscale

    MOS-SS: subject-rated instrument used to assess the key constructs of sleep over the past week; assesses sleep quantity and quality and is comprised 12 items yielding 7 subscale scores and 2 composite index scores. Optimal Sleep subscale is derived from sleep quantity average hours of sleep each night during the past week. Number of subjects with response Optimal if sleep quantity was 7 or 8 hours of sleep per night, and Non-optimal if average sleep was less than or greater than 7 to 8 hours per night. Analysis assesses the MOS-Sleep scale relative to the start of randomized treatment.

    Measured: Week 8, Week 32, and Week 56

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 28 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 102 sites in South Korea, Czechia, Germany, India, Bulgaria and 24 more countries. 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 phase mean?

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Oct 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Seizure-free Participants (Responders) During Efficacy Assessment Phase (time frame: Week 5 up to Week 56). 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 NCT00280059, 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 28 Jan 2021.
