Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study With Subjects 18-65 Years Old With Partial Onset Seizures Who Are Currently Taking Levetiracetam (NCT NCT00152503)

NCT ID: NCT00152503

Last Updated: 2023-09-07

Results Overview

Calculated as (7-day seizure frequency during the Treatment Period) - (7-day seizure frequency during the Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4)), divided by the 7-day seizure frequency during the Baseline Period with this quantity multiplied by 100. A negative value in percent change from Baseline indicates a decrease in partial onset seizure frequency from Baseline. The Treatment Period consists of an 8-week Up-Titration Period (Visit 3/Week 5 to Visit 7/Week 12) and a 3-week Down-Titration Period (Visit 7/Week 13 to Visit 10/Week 15). Visit x includes the period from the beginning of Visit x-1 up to but not including Visit x.

Participant Flow

The study started to enroll patients in August 2005 and concluded in May 2006.

Participant Flow refers to the Intention-To-Treat Set. The study consisted of a 4-week Baseline Period, a 11-week Treatment Period (Up-/Down-Titration) and a 2-week Post-Treatment Period. Patients were up-titrated every two weeks until the maximum tolerated dose was reached. They were maintained at this dose until the end of the 8-week Up-Titration Period and continue that dose until the Down-Titration Visit scheduled for that dose level. Patients were to be down-titrated over a 3-week Period.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: During the Treatment Period (Week 5 to Week 15), compared to Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4)

Population: 59 subjects were included in the ITT-set, who took at least one dose of trial medication. Only subjects with available data for the respective visit/ period are included in the analysis. Number of subjects analyzed is given separately for each visit/ period.

Calculated as (7-day seizure frequency during the Treatment Period) - (7-day seizure frequency during the Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4)), divided by the 7-day seizure frequency during the Baseline Period with this quantity multiplied by 100. A negative value in percent change from Baseline indicates a decrease in partial onset seizure frequency from Baseline. The Treatment Period consists of an 8-week Up-Titration Period (Visit 3/Week 5 to Visit 7/Week 12) and a 3-week Down-Titration Period (Visit 7/Week 13 to Visit 10/Week 15).

A day was considered seizure-free, if no seizure was reported during 24 hours. A positive value indicates improvement from Baseline (Week 1 to Week 4).
