About this study

Official title: An Extension Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of RWJ-333369 as Adjunctive Therapy in Korean and Japanese Patients With Partial Onset Seizures

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of RWJ-333369 at doses between 200-800 mg/day in Korean and Japanese patients who have completed the preceding study (333369-KJ-02).

Read the detailed description

Despite the introduction of new antiepileptic drugs into overseas clinical settings after 1990's, there still exist those patients who cannot control seizures, and thus the advent of newer antiepileptic drugs is being desired. This is a multicenter, open-label, extension study in patients who have completed the preceding study (333369-KJ-02) and scheduled to continue until the study drug is approved. This study consists of Period 1 (1 year) and Period 2 (only in Japan; planned to continue until the drug is approved Primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety (Adverse event, Lab test, Electrocardiogram, Vital signs, Pregnancy test, Physician Withdrawal Checklist) of RWJ-333369 at doses between 200-800 mg/day in patients who have completed the preceding study. Secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of RWJ-333369 at doses between 200-800 mg/day in patients who have completed the preceding study. Period 1:RWJ-333369 will be started at 400 mg/day. RWJ-333369 100 mg tablets or 200 mg tablets will be orally administered with noncarbonated water twice daily. The dose will be adjusted between 200 mg/day and 800 mg/day based on effectiveness and tolerance. Period 2: The dose will be adjusted between 200 mg/day and 800 mg/day based on effectiveness and tolerance.

A Phase 3 study testing RWJ-333369 in people with Seizures, run by SK Life Science, Inc..

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Adverse events (subjective/objective findings), blood pressure, pulse rate, body temperature, weight, 12-lead ECG, laboratory tests, pregnancy test. Time measure is 1 year. (time frame: For 1 year.). 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 16 Jan 2013.
