About this study

Official title: A 12-Month Noninterventional, Postmarketing, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Briviact® (Brivaracetam) as Adjunctive Therapy in Patients With Epilepsy With Partial-onset Seizures in Daily Clinical Practice

Study is the first study after commercialization of brivaracetam. It is designed to collect real world information on the effectiveness of brivaracetam in patients with Partial Onset Seizure epislepsy who are treated in standard clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

EP0077 is a 12 months, multicenter, noninterventional study (NIS) conducted at specialized sites in approximately 10 European countries. Patients will be treated according to usual medical diagnostic procedures and therapy; commercially available brivaracetam will be prescribed according to normal clinical practice and the current Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) in Europe for brivaracetam (BRV). The prescription of BRV is clearly separated from the decision to include the patient in the study. No additional diagnostic or monitoring procedures are applied to the patients.

The primary objective of this study is to determine BRV retention over a 12 month period as a measure of effectiveness in a real world setting. The secondary objective of this study is to assess seizure control with BRV treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Epilepsy With POS With or Without Secondary Generalization, run by UCB Biopharma S.P.R.L. at 44 sites in 9 countries.

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 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 4 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 44 sites in United Kingdom, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain and 4 more countries. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Aug 2021). 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 of Participants Remaining in the Study and on BRV Treatment at Month 12 (time frame: Month 12 (end of Observation Period)). 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 4 Aug 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
