What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for a Single Dose of Brivaracetam

    Cmax is the maximum plasma concentration of brivaracetam.

    Time frame: Blood samples for this analysis were collected on Predose (Day 1), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 hours postdose

  2. Area Under the Curve From 0 to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC(0-t)) for a Single Dose of Brivaracetam

    AUC(0-t) is the area under the curve from time 0 to the time of the last quantifiable concentration.

    Time frame: Blood samples for this analysis were collected on Predose (Day 1), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 hours postdose

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With at Least One Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of IMP, whether or not considered related to the IMP. A TEAE was defined as any AE with a start date/time on or after the first dose of IMP or any unresolved event already present before administration of IMP that worsens in intensity following exposure to IMP.

    Time frame: From Baseline to end of Safety Follow-Up, up to 20 days

  2. Percentage of Participants With at Least One Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Event (SAE)

    A TEAE was any AE with a start date/time on or after the first dose of IMP or any unresolved event already present before administration of IMP that worsens in intensity following exposure to IMP. A serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: Results in death, Is life-threatening, Requires in patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization,Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, Is an infection that requires treatment parenteral antibiotics, Other important medical events which based on medical or scientific judgement may jeopardize the patients, or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the above.

    Time frame: From Baseline to end of Safety Follow-Up, up to 20 days

Individual participant data

Plan to share: No — Due to the small sample size in this trial, IPD cannot be adequately anonymized i.e., there is a reasonable likelihood that individual participants could be re-identified. For this reason, data from this trial cannot be shared.
