What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency Per Week of Partial Onset Seizures (Type I) During the Up-titration Period

    Calculated as (7-day seizure frequency during the up-titration period) - (7-day seizure frequency during the Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4)), divided by the 7-day seizure frequency during the Baseline Period with this quantity multiplied by 100. A negative value in percent change from Baseline indicates a decrease in partial onset seizure frequency from Baseline.

    The duration of the Up-Titration Period was 8 weeks (Visit 3/Week 5 to Visit 7/Week 12).

    Measured: During the Up-titration Period (Week 5 to Week 12), compared to Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Seletracetam (ucb 44212) in people with Epilepsy, Partial, run by UCB S.A. - Pharma Sector at 7 sites in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 11 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 29 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 29 Mar 2024). 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?

Percentage Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency Per Week of Partial Onset Seizures (Type I) During the Up-titration Period (time frame: During the Up-titration Period (Week 5 to Week 12), compared to Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4)). 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 29 Mar 2024.
