About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-label Extension Trial to Assess the Long-term Safety and Tolerability of Lacosamide as Adjunctive Therapy in Subjects With Partial-onset Seizures

The purpose of this study is to allow eligible subjects from the parent study, SP925 [NCT00655551] to continue lacosamide and to obtain additional long-term safety data

Read the detailed description

A multicenter, open-label extension study to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of lacosamide as adjunctive therapy in subjects with partial-onset seizures who were previously enrolled in the SP925 study [NCT00655551] (intravenous lacosamide loading dose followed by approximately 1 week of oral lacosamide maintenance).

    Also called Vimpat

    Subjects' dose of lacosamide may be increased or decreased as needed to maintain a subject's effective and tolerable dose during the study. Tablets are 50 mg or 100 mg each; Dose is 100 mg/day up to 800 mg/day administered twice daily throughout the study (up to 2 years).

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With at Least One Adverse Event During This Open-label Extension Study (Maximum Study Duration 2 Years)

    An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence (eg, noxious or pathological changes) in a subject or clinical investigation subject compared with pre-existing conditions, that occurs during any period of a clinical trial including Pre-treatment, Run-In, Wash-Out, or Follow-Up Periods. An AE is defined as being independent of assumption of any causality (eg, to study or concomitant medication, primary or concomitant disease, or study design).

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Number of Subjects Who Withdrew From the Study Due to an Adverse Event (Maximum Study Duration 2 Years)

    An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence (eg, noxious or pathological changes) in a subject or clinical investigation subject compared with pre-existing conditions, that occurs during any period of a clinical trial including Pre-treatment, Run-In, Wash-Out, or Follow-Up Periods. An AE is defined as being independent of assumption of any causality (eg, to study or concomitant medication, primary or concomitant disease, or study design).

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing lacosamide in people with Partial Epilepsies and Partial Onset Seizures, run by UCB BIOSCIENCES, Inc. at 7 sites 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 3 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 17 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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 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 15 Jul 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?

Number of Subjects With at Least One Adverse Event During This Open-label Extension Study (Maximum Study Duration 2 Years) (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 17 Jul 2018.
