Receives: Drug: SHP615; Drug: MHOS/SHP615

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy: Number of Participants With Therapeutic Success

    Therapeutic success was defined as cessation of visible seizure activity within 10 minutes and sustained absence of visible seizure activity for 30 minutes following a single dose of SHP615 without the need for additional rescue medication. Number of participants with therapeutic success were reported.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to 30 minutes post-dose

  2. Safety: Number of Participants With Respiratory Depression

    Respiratory depression, included the following measures within 24 hours after administration of the IP: i) Persistent decrease in oxygen saturation to <92 percent (%) measured up to 24 hours post-dose (i.e., <92% on room air for 2 minutes or more after dosing while monitoring [per healthcare setting protocol and/or the clinical judgment of the physician]. ii) Increase in respiratory effort such that assisted ventilation is used (bag-valve-mask ventilation or endotracheal intubation). Number of participants with respiratory depression were reported.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours post-dose

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Efficacy: Number of Participants Who Had Sustained Absence of Seizure Activity for at Least 1, 4, and 6 Hours

    Number of participants whose seizure event stopped within 10 minutes of single dose administration of SHP615 and who had sustained absence of seizure activity for at least 1, 4, and 6 hours were reported.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to 1, 4, and 6 hours post-dose

  2. Efficacy: Time to Resolution of Seizures (Convulsions)

    Time to resolution of seizures (convulsions) was calculated as time from SHP615 administration to the end of the initial seizure or administration of rescue anticonvulsant medication, whichever occurs first. The initial seizure refers to the seizure which triggered the use of the IP. Participant wise data was reported for this outcome.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to follow-up (Day 8)

  3. Efficacy: Time to Recovery of Consciousness

    Time to recovery of consciousness in minutes was calculated only for participants who lost consciousness pre-dose as time from SHP615 administration to recovery of consciousness post-dose or administration of rescue anticonvulsant medication, whichever occurs first. Participant wise data was reported for this outcome.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to follow-up (Day 8)

  4. Efficacy: Percentage of Participants Who Required Additional Anticonvulsant Medication for Ongoing Status Epilepticus (SE) 10 Minutes After Administration of SHP615

    Percentage of participants who required additional anticonvulsant medication for ongoing SE according to the participating hospital protocol or guideline, 10 minutes after the administration of SHP615 were reported.

    Measured: 10 minutes post-dose

  5. Efficacy: Percentage of Participants Who Failed to Respond to Treatment With SHP615

    Treatment failure/non-responder was defined as continuing seizure activity and/or the need for any additional rescue medication according to the participating healthcare setting protocol or guideline 10 minutes after administration of SHP615 was reported.

    Measured: 10 minutes post-dose

  6. Safety: Number of Participants With Aspiration Pneumonia Reported as Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    TEAEs was defined as adverse events (AEs) whose onset occurs, severity worsens or intensity increases on or after the date of SHP615 administration. Number of participants with aspiration pneumonia identified as TEAEs were reported.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to follow-up (Day 8)

  7. Safety: Number of Participants Analyzed for Sedation or Agitation Measured by the Riker Sedation-Agitation Scale

    Sedation-Agitation was assessed, using the "Riker Sedation-Agitation Scale" (SAS) by the following 7-point scale: 7. dangerous agitation; 6. very agitated; 5. agitated; 4. calm, cooperative; 3. sedated; 2. very sedated; 1. unarousable. Number of participants analyzed for sedation or agitation measured by the riker sedation-agitation scale were reported.

    Measured: 1, 4, 6, and 24 hours post-dose

  8. Safety: Number of Participants With Buccal Irritation Reported as Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    TEAEs was defined as AEs whose onset occurs, severity worsens or intensity increases on or after the date of IP administration. Buccal cavity was examined for redness, inflammation and ulceration. Number of participants with buccal irritation reported as TEAEs were reported.

    Measured: Up to 6 hours post-dose

  9. Safety: Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. TEAEs was defined as AEs whose onset occurs, severity worsens or intensity increases on or after the date of IP administration. Number of participants with TEAEs were reported.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to follow-up (Day 8)

  10. Safety: Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change in Vital Signs Reported as TEAEs

    Vital sign assessments included blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate and body temperature. Any change in vital signs which were deemed clinically significant by the investigator were recorded as TEAEs.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to 24 hours post-dose

  11. Safety: Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Laboratory Parameters Reported as TEAEs

    Clinical laboratory evaluations included biochemistry, endocrinology, hematology and urinalysis. Any change in clinical laboratory abnormalities which were deemed clinically significant by the investigator were recorded as TEAEs.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to 24 hours post-dose

  12. Safety: Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change in Electrocardiogram (ECG) Reported as TEAEs

    12-lead ECG were evaluated. Any change in ECG assessments which are deemed clinically significant by the investigator were reported as TEAEs.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to 24 hours post-dose

  13. Safety: Percentage of Participants With Normal Oxygen Saturation Values Collected During Hospital Setting

    Oxygen saturation is the amount of oxygen that is in bloodstream and is measured as the percentage of blood hemoglobin that is carrying oxygen. Normal oxygen saturation levels are considered to be 95-100 percent; low oxygen saturation values indicate worse disease. Oxygen saturation was measured and recorded on room air. The investigator recorded the oxygen saturation as well as the oxygen delivery system and amount of oxygen administered during hospital setting. Percentage of participants with normal oxygen saturation values collected during hospital setting were reported.

    Measured: 0.5, 1, 4, 6 and 24 hours post-dose
