Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male or female patients aged 18-75.
  2. Able and willing to give written informed consent in accordance with the ICH GCP Guidelines.
  3. Female subjects of childbearing potential must not be pregnant (as confirmed by negative serum βHCG at screening and negative urine pregnancy test at baseline/during the study), must not be lactating and must use a medically acceptable form of contraception during the study and for at least 1 month after discontinuation of study drug. Medically acceptable contraception as defined here is the oral contraceptive pill, surgical sterilization or hormonal intrauterine device in place for at least 3 months. Women who are less than 2 years post-menopausal are considered to be of childbearing potential.
  4. Focal epilepsy, with simple and/or complex partial seizures with or without secondary generalized seizures as defined by the ILAE criteria.
  5. Patients with a minimum of 4 partial seizures in the 8 weeks preceding the baseline visit as adequately recorded using a seizure diary card.
  6. Patients should be receiving at least 1 but no more than 2 other AEDs as concomitant medication, and the dosage should be stable for at least 8 weeks before the baseline visit.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. History of status epilepticus within the last 5 years.
  2. Patients with known significantly impaired renal function and/or severe hepatic impairment to the extent that the protocol dose titration schedule cannot be followed. Note Investigators should consult included SmPC as a guide.
  3. Patients suffering from clinically significant psychiatric illness, psychological or behavioral problems which could interfere with study participation.
  4. Patients with a history (within the last 12 months) of alcohol or drug abuse or dependency.
  5. Patient suffering from any CNS progressive disease that may confound study interpretation, any active CNS infection, demyelinating disease or degenerative neurological disease.
  6. Patients with a significant drug sensitivity or significant allergic reaction to any drug including sulfonamides.
  7. Subjects considered by the Investigator to be an unsuitable candidate for receiving Zonegran or considered unlikely to comply with the protocol.
  8. Any patient contraindicated for Zonegran treatment as per attached SmPC.
  9. Any patient who is pregnant and/or lactating.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
October 1, 2005

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
