Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of TRI476 (Oxcarbazepine) in Children With Inadequately Controlled Partial Onset Seizures - Full Text View

Sponsor:	Novartis
Information provided by:	Novartis
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00975715

Purpose

This study is designed to provide short term efficacy and safety data of TRI476 in children with inadequately-controlled partial seizures. Patients will be randomized into either drug treatment or placebo group at 1:1 ratio, and receive their respective treatment for 8 weeks. The purpose of study is to confirm that TRI476 as adjunctive therapy is effective and safe.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Percent change in the partial seizure frequency per 28 days during the double-blind period from the screening period. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Seizure Frequency of specific duration [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Responder rate: defined as the proportion of patients with an at least 50% reduction in the partial epileptic seizure frequency. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Percent changes in the seizure frequency by subtype [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
