What is being measured

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

  1. Cmax - the Maximum Plasma Concentration

    BIA 2-194 and BIA 2-195 are metabolites of eslicarbazepine acetate

    Measured: Day 8 and 27: within 5 minutes prior to dosing and 0.5,1,1.5,2,2.5,3,3.5,4,6,9,12,16 and 24 hours after drug administration

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. AUC0-t - the Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Sampling Time

    AUC0-t - the Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Sampling Time

    BIA 2-194 and BIA 2-195 are metabolites of eslicarbazepine acetate

    Measured: Day 8 and 27: within 5 minutes prior to dosing and 0.5,1,1.5,2,2.5,3,3.5,4,6,9,12,16 and 24 hours after drug administration

  2. Tmax - the Time of Occurrence of Cmax

    BIA 2-194 and BIA 2-195 are metabolites of eslicarbazepine acetate

    Measured: Day 8 and 27: within 5 minutes prior to dosing and 0.5,1,1.5,2,2.5,3,3.5,4,6,9,12,16 and 24 hours after drug administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BIA 2-093 and Phenytoin in people with Epilepsy, run by Bial - Portela C S.A..

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 5 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 18 Dec 2014. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 18 Dec 2014). 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?

Cmax - the Maximum Plasma Concentration (time frame: Day 8 and 27: within 5 minutes prior to dosing and 0.5,1,1.5,2,2.5,3,3.5,4,6,9,12,16 and 24 hours after drug administration). 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 18 Dec 2014.
