  • Ages 18 to 45 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Healthy male or female subjects, 18 to 45 years of age, inclusive
  • Having completed at least high school level education (based on personal report)
  • Native speakers of the English language or having learned English before 12 years of age
  • Understood and provided written informed consent prior to the initiation of any protocol-specific procedures
  • Body mass index (BMI) was within the range of 18 to 30 kg/m2, inclusive, with a minimum weight of at least 50 kg

  • Female subjects of childbearing potential practiced abstinence or used and were willing to continue to use a medically acceptable form of birth control for at least 1 month prior to Screening and for at least 1 month after the last study drug administration. Medically acceptable forms of contraception included intrauterine device or double-barrier. Hormone-based contraceptives methods were not acceptable, because ESL may have decreased their effectiveness. Female subjects of non-childbearing potential were amenorrheic for at least 2 years or had a hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy.
  • Male subjects were required to use a double-barrier form of contraception
  • Subjects who were willing and able to abide by all study requirements and restrictions

Who cannot join

  • History or presence of drug or alcohol dependence (excluding nicotine and caffeine), including subjects who had ever been in a drug rehabilitation program, based on medical history
  • Clinically significant abnormalities on physical examination, medical history, 12-lead ECG, vital signs, or laboratory values, as judged by the investigator or designee
  • Current psychiatric illness, except nicotine and caffeine dependence. Subjects with a past history of psychiatric illness were excluded at the discretion of the investigator or designee
  • History or presence of clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, hematologic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, neurologic, oncologic, or psychiatric disease or any other condition, which in the opinion of the investigator could jeopardize the safety of the subject or the validity of the study results
  • Use of a non-prescription drug within 7 days prior to the first study drug administration. Unless in the opinion of the investigator or designee, the medication received did not interfere with the study procedures or data integrity or compromise the safety of the subject
  • Use of any prescription medications or natural health products (except acceptable forms of birth control and hormone replacement) within 14 days prior to the first study drug administration or throughout the study, unless in the opinion of the investigator or designee, the product did not interfere with the study procedures or data integrity or compromise the safety of the subject

  • Positive serum pregnancy screen following Screening or positive urine pregnancy screen at admission and on Days -1, 9, or 16
  • Positive urine drug screen (5-panel MedTox kit) at Screening, Day -1, Day 9, or Day 16.
  • Positive breath alcohol test at Screening, Days -1, 9, or 16
  • Female subjects who were pregnant or lactating or who were planning to become pregnant within 60 days of last study drug administration
  • History of allergy or hypersensitivity to ESL, related drugs, or any of the drug excipients or other drug product components
  • Positive for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or HIV
  • Current or pending legal charges
  • Treatment with any investigational drug within 30 days prior to first drug administration
  • A subject who, in the opinion of the investigator or designee, was not considered to be suitable and was unlikely to comply with the study protocol for any reason

About this study

Official title: Effects of Eslicarbazepine Acetate (BIA 2-093) on Cognition and Psychomotor Function: Single-blind, Single-centre, Single and Multiple Dose, Fixed-order, Placebocontrolled Trial in Healthy Volunteers

Single-blind, single-centre, fixed-order study to evaluate the PD effects of a single oral dose and multiple oral doses of ESL (BIA 2-093) in healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

Single-blind, single-centre, fixed-order study to evaluate the PD effects of a single oral dose and multiple oral doses of ESL (BIA 2-093) in healthy volunteers. A single dose of oral ESL 900 mg was followed by consecutive 7-day periods of: Placebo, ESL 800 mg, and ESL 1200 mg each given QD. The single dose was chosen to assess the ESL acute response relationship with respect to cognitive and motor skill performance, and the multiple doses were chosen to further characterize the ESL dose response relationship with respect to cognitive and motor skill performance.

  3. Recognition Reaction Time (RRT) (ms): Change From Baseline at Each Time Point During Acute Dosing Phase

    Measured: -1, 3, 6, and 10 hours post-dose

  4. Recognition Reaction Time (RRT) (ms): Raw Values at Each Time Point During Acute Dosing Phase

    Measured: -1, 3, 6, and 10 hours post-dose

  5. Total Reaction Time (TRT) (ms): Raw Values at Each Time Point During Acute Dosing Phase

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BIA 2-093 in people with Epilepsy, run by Bial - Portela C S.A..

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 9 inclusion and 15 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 10 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 10 Dec 2014). 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?

Motor Reaction Time (MRT) (ms): Change From Baseline at Each Time Point During Acute Dosing Phase (time frame: -1, 3, 6, and 10 hours post-dose). The study lists 6 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 10 Dec 2014.
