About this study

Official title: Pregabalin In Partial Seizures (PREPS): An Open-Label, Multicenter Add On Therapy Trial. A Phase IV Open-Label Trial Using 150,300, 600 mg/Day Of Pregabalin

The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical improvement by partial seizures reduction, safety and tolerability of subjects having partial epilepsy related to the adjunction of pregabalin BID (75 to 300mg day titration, BID) to existing standard AED (Antiepileptic drugs).

Read the detailed description

This study was terminated on 17 March 2009 due to delayed enrollment. The decision to terminate the trial was not based on any safety concerns, but rather on timelines and the difficulty in enrolling patients in this open label, single group study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent Change From Baseline in 28 Day Partial Seizure Rate During Treatment Observation Phase

    28-day seizure rate (at observation period [obs]) = [(number of seizures obs ) divided by (duration of period based on observed last dosing date and Visit 3 [Week 9] date)] * 28. Percent change = [(28-day seizure rate obs minus 28-day seizure rate at baseline [b]) divided by 28-day seizure rate b] * 100. Negative values indicate a decrease in seizure frequency and positive values reflect an increase in seizure frequency.

    Measured: Week 9 to Week 21 or End of Treatment (early termination)

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Response Ratio (RR)

    Response ratio (RR) = comparison between baseline 28-seizure frequency with the 12 week observation phase. RR = [(28-day seizure rate in observation period [obs] minus 28-day seizure rate at baseline [b] ) divided by (28-day seizure rate obs plus 28-day seizure rate b)] * 100. Range: -100 to 100; negative values for the RR indicate reductions in seizures.

    Measured: Week 9 to Week 21 or End of Treatment (early termination)

  2. Percent Change From Baseline in 28-Day Partial Seizure Frequency at Week 21

    Percent change from Baseline = [(28-day seizure rate at 21 weeks minus 28-day seizure rate at baseline [b]) divided by (28-day seizure rate b) * 100. Negative values indicate a decrease in seizure frequency, positive values reflect an increase in seizure frequency.

    Measured: Week 21 or End of Treatment (early termination)

  3. Percent Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency in Participants Who Had <=6 Seizures and >6 Seizures During the Baseline Period

    Negative values indicate a decrease in seizure frequency; positive values reflect an increase in seizure frequency.

    Measured: Week 9 to Week 21 or End of Treatment (early termination)

  4. Percent of Seizure- Free Participants During the Treatment Observation Period

    Seizure-free = no seizures during observation period (100 percent reduction in seizures from baseline).

    Measured: Week 9 to Week 21 or Early Termination (end of treatment)

  5. Percent of Seizure Free Participants During the Last 4 Weeks of the Treatment Observation Period

    Seizure-free = no seizures during last 4 weeks of observation period (100 percent reduction in seizures from baseline).

    Measured: Week 17 to Week 21 (or Last 4 Weeks of Treatment after Week 9)

  6. Percent of Participants With >=50% Reduction in Seizure Frequency (28-day Seizure Rate) Between Baseline and Final 4 Weeks of the Treatment Observation Period

    Measured: Week 17 to Week 21 (or Last 4 Weeks of Treatment after Week 9)

  7. Percent of Participants With >=75% Reduction in Seizure Frequency (28-day Seizure Rate) Between Baseline and Final 4 Weeks of the Treatment Observation Period

    Measured: Week 17 through Week 21 (or Last 4 Weeks of Treatment after Week 9)

  8. Treatment Satisfaction: Patient General Impression to Change (PGIC)

    Patient General Impression to Change (PGIC): participant rated instrument to measure participant's change in overall status since beginning study medication on a 7-point scale; range: 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Not done = participant did not complete the PGIC.

    Measured: Week 21, LOCF

  9. Change From Baseline in Sleep Interference: Medical Outcome Sleep Scale (MOS)

    Participant rated questionnaire to assess sleep quality and quantity; 9-item overall sleep problems index and 7 subscales. Sleep disturbance, snoring, awaken short of breath, somnolence, and adequacy subscale scores (s) rated 1 (all the time) to 6 (none of the time); transformed s; total range (r): 0 to 100; higher s = greater intensity of attribute; negative values (v) = reduction from baseline (b), positive v = increase from b. Sleep Quantity score r: 0-24 hours. Higher s = greater quantity of sleep. Change = (MOS score at observation period minus MOS score at b) divided by MOS score b.

    Measured: Week 21, LOCF

  10. Change From Baseline in Sleep Interference: Medical Outcome Sleep Scale (MOS): Optimal Sleep Subscale

    Optimal Sleep subscale of the MOS subject rated questionnaire to assess sleep quality and quantity. Optimal Sleep (1 of 7 subscales) was derived from sleep quantity: average hours of sleep each night during the past week. Number of subjects with response: YES=1 (optimal sleep: quantity of sleep was 7 or 8 hours per night) or No= 0 (no optimal sleep). Negative value indicates a decrease in attribute; positive value indicates an increase in attribute. Change = (MOS score at observation period minus MOS score at baseline [b]) divided by MOS score b.

    Measured: Week 21, LOCF

  11. Change From Baseline in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)

    Participant rated questionnaire with 2 subscales: HADS-A assesses generalized anxiety (anxious mood, restlessness, anxious thoughts, panic attacks); HADS-D: state of lost interest and diminished pleasure response (lowering of hedonic tone). Each subscale has 7 items; range: 0 (no anxiety or depression) to 3 (severe anxiety or depression). Total score 0 to 21 for each subscale; higher score = greater severity of symptoms. Negative value = reduction from baseline (b), positive value = increase from b. Change = (HADS score at observation period minus HADS score at b) divided by HADS score b.

    Measured: Week 21, LOCF

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Pregabalin in people with Partial Seizures, run by Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc. at 8 sites in Mexico.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Mexico. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 9 Sep 2010). 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?

Percent Change From Baseline in 28 Day Partial Seizure Rate During Treatment Observation Phase (time frame: Week 9 to Week 21 or End of Treatment (early termination)). 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 25 Jan 2021.
