    Measured: Day 1: Predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours postdose

  2. Plasma Concentration of BRV and Its Metabolites (Ucb-42145, Ucb-100406-1, ucb107092-1) After Multiple Dose

    Measured: Predose on Day 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9; Day 10: Predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours postdose

  3. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Zero to the Time of the Last Measured Concentration Above the Limit of Quantification (AUC(0-t)) of Brivaracetam for Single Dose

    AUC(0-t) was defined as the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero to the time of the last measured concentration above the limit of quantification.

    Measured: Day 1: Predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours postdose

    Cmax was defined as the maximum observed plasma concentration.

    Measured: Day 1: Predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours postdose

  5. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From 0 to 12 Hours at Steady State (AUC(0-12),ss) of Brivaracetam for Multiple Dose

    AUC(0-12),ss was defined as the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 12 hours at steady state.

    Measured: Day 10: Predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12 hours postdose

  7. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) During the Study

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) were defined as those events that start on or after the time of first investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration, or whose severity worsens on or after the date of first administration of the IMP.

    Measured: From Baseline to the end of Safety Follow-up (approximately 6 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing brivaracetam in people with Healthy Participants, run by UCB Biopharma SRL at 1 site in China.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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 13 Mar 2023. 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 China. 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 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 13 Mar 2023). 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?

Plasma Concentration of BRV and Its Metabolites (Ucb-42145, Ucb-100406-1, ucb107092-1) After Single Dose (time frame: Day 1: Predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours postdose). The study lists 7 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 13 Mar 2023.
