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
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for a Single Dose of Brivaracetam
Time Frame: Blood samples for this analysis were collected on Predose (Day 1), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 hours postdose
Cmax is the maximum plasma concentration of brivaracetam.
Blood samples for this analysis were collected on Predose (Day 1), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 hours postdose
Area Under the Curve From 0 to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC(0-t)) for a Single Dose of Brivaracetam
Time Frame: Blood samples for this analysis were collected on Predose (Day 1), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 hours postdose
AUC(0-t) is the area under the curve from time 0 to the time of the last quantifiable concentration.
Blood samples for this analysis were collected on Predose (Day 1), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 hours postdose

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
Percentage of Participants With at Least One Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)
Time Frame: From Baseline to end of Safety Follow-Up, up to 20 days
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of IMP, whether or not considered related to the IMP. A TEAE was defined as any AE with a start date/time on or after the first dose of IMP or any unresolved event already present before administration of IMP that worsens in intensity following exposure to IMP.
From Baseline to end of Safety Follow-Up, up to 20 days
Percentage of Participants With at Least One Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Event (SAE)
Time Frame: From Baseline to end of Safety Follow-Up, up to 20 days
A TEAE was any AE with a start date/time on or after the first dose of IMP or any unresolved event already present before administration of IMP that worsens in intensity following exposure to IMP. A serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: Results in death, Is life-threatening, Requires in patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization,Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, Is an infection that requires treatment parenteral antibiotics, Other important medical events which based on medical or scientific judgement may jeopardize the patients, or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the above.
From Baseline to end of Safety Follow-Up, up to 20 days
