A Post-marketing Observational Study Of The Use Of Zonisamide (ZNS) in the Adjunctive Treatment Of Adult Patients With Partial Onset Seizures (Study E2090-E044-410) (ZOOM)

June 16, 2023 updated by: Eisai Inc.

An Open-label, Multi-centre, Multi-national Post-marketing Non-interventional Observational Study of the Use of Zonisamide (ZNS) in the Adjunctive Treatment of Adult Patients With Partial Onset Seizures Treated With One Antiepileptic Drug (AED) as Baseline Medication

This is a Non-interventional Prospective Study. Centres will enroll adult patients with partial onset seizures for whom the clinician has decided to initiate ZNS as an adjunctive therapy prior to the decision to take part in this study. Patients to be enrolled into the study are not sufficiently controlled with one dug licensed for the use of monotherapy in partial onset seizures. Patients will be seen at baseline and then during normal clinical visits at intervals which are appropriate to the typical practice of the treating clinician. Patients will be assessed at baseline and then at least 3 and 6 months after the baseline.

Study Overview

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

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 and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Adult Patients With Partial Onset Seizures

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The decision to prescribe ZNS was made by the physician before and independently of his/her decision to include the patient in the study
  • Patients treated with one drug licensed for the use as monotherapy in partial onset seizures
  • Based on the physician's clinical judgment, the patient seizure activity is not controlled sufficiently with the current monotherapy and it is in the patient's best interest to be prescribed adjunctive ZNS
  • Patient was prescribed ZNS no longer than 2 weeks before baseline
  • Treatment with ZNS has to be commenced in line with the drug's license and ZNS SmPC (Summary of Product Characteristics)
  • Aged 18 years or older
  • Capable of understanding the purpose of the study, fully informed and having given written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients that have started ZNS outside the approved SmPC at enrolment
  • Simultaneous participation in an interventional clinical trial and/or taking an investigational drug
  • Any form of substance abuse, psychiatric disorder or condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, may complicate communication with the patient.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Zonisamide tablets
Drug: Zonisamide tablets
The recommended initial daily dose is 50 mg in two divided doses. After one week the dose may be increased to 100 mg daily and thereafter the dose may be increased at weekly intervals, in increments of up to 100 mg. Doses of 300 mg to 500 mg per day have been shown to be effective, though some patients, especially those not taking CYP3A4 (cytochrome P450)-inducing agents, may respond to lower doses.
Other Names:
  • ZNS

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Retention Rate of Zonisamide (ZNS) after 6 months from Baseline
Time Frame: Up to 6 months
The retention rate or the proportion of patients still receiving ZNS after 6 months will be assessed. At each of the two visits after 3 months and 6 months (final assessment or early discontinuation), the clinician will record whether the patient is still on ZNS treatment, or whether treatment has been discontinued.
Up to 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Seizure Frequency after 3 and 6 months from Baseline
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months and 6 months
Change in overall seizure frequency calculated as absolute and percent changes after 3 and 6 months from baseline compared to the seizure frequency 3 months before introduction of ZNS.
Baseline, 3 months and 6 months
