Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, parallel group, dose-ranging study to investigate the efficacy and clinical usability of STAP-001 in adult (18 years of age and older) subjects with epilepsy with a predictable seizure pattern. These subjects have an established diagnosis of focal or generalized epilepsy with a documented history of predictable seizure episodes. This is an in-patient study. The subjects will be admitted to a Clinical Research Unit (CRU) or Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) for study participation. The duration of the stay in the in-patient unit will be 2-8 days. One seizure event per subject will be treated with study medication. The duration and timing of the seizure event and occurrence of subsequent seizures will be assessed by the Staff Caregiver(s)1 through clinical observation and confirmed with video electroencephalogram (EEG).

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants in Each Treatment Group Achieving Seizure Activity Cessation Within 2 Minutes and no Recurrent Seizure Within 2 Hours [2 hours post-dosing on dosing day]

      Percentage of participants with onset of a predictable seizure through 2 minutes post dosing with study drug and no recurrence of seizure activity within 2 hours were reported for each treatment group based on clinical observation.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Seizure Episode Severity Assessed by Seizure Episode Severity Scale [6 hours post-dosing on dosing day]

      Severity of on study seizure episode compared to previously experienced seizures was assessed with Seizure Episode Severity Scale. It is a 5-point scale with range from 1 to 5, where 1 indicates much worse than and 5 indicates much better than.

    2. Percentage of Participants With Use of Rescue Medication [2 hours post-dosing on dosing day]

      Percentage of participants with use of rescue medication to stop a seizure episode at the discretion of the principal investigator were reported.

    3. Percentage of Participants With Secondary Generalization (Evolution to a Complex Partial Seizure and/or a Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure) [24 hours post-dosing on dosing day]

      Percentage of participants who had seizures that evolved to a complex partial seizure and/or a generalized tonic-clonic seizure were reported.

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    The mITT population consisted of all participants who had a seizure event, received study drug, and had at least one evaluation after study drug administration.
    Arm/Group Title Open-label: Staccato Alprazolam (STAP-001) 1.0 Milligram (mg) Double-blind: Placebo Double-blind: Staccato Alprazolam 1.0 mg Double-blind: Staccato Alprazolam 2.0 mg
    Arm/Group Description Participants received a single dose of alprazolam 1.0 mg as an oral inhalation using the Staccato delivery system at the onset of their predictable seizure episode from Day 1 through the end of Day 7. Participants received a single dose of placebo matching to alprazolam as an oral inhalation using the Staccato delivery system at the onset of their predictable seizure episode from Day 1 through the end of Day 7. Participants received a single dose of alprazolam 1.0 mg as an oral inhalation using the Staccato delivery system at the onset of their predictable seizure episode from Day 1 through the end of Day 7. Participants received a single dose of alprazolam 2.0 mg as an oral inhalation using the Staccato delivery system at the onset of their predictable seizure episode from Day 1 through the end of Day 7.
