Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This Phase 2 open-label, two-way study was conducted in adult subjects with epilepsy who were on stable regimens of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) and who were admitted to an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU), General Clinical Research Center (GCRC), or similar facility for evaluation of their seizures. All subjects received a single DBF 12.5 mg dose during the Interictal State and a single DBF 12.5 mg dose during the Ictal/peri-ictal state with at least 14 days washout between the 2 doses.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Diazepam Buccal Film 12.5 mg
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This was a Phase 2 multicenter, open-label, two-way study conducted in adult subjects to assess the bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, and safety of DBF during the Interictal Period and during the Ictal/peri-ictal Period, with a minimum of 14 days of washout between periods. Subjects had a clinical diagnosis of epilepsy (with generalized tonic-clonic seizures or focal seizures with impaired awareness) who were on stable regimens of anti-epileptic drugs and were scheduled for admission to an EMU, GCRC, or similar facility for evaluation.

All subjects were to receive a single 12.5-mg dose of study drug, without regard to meals, during both Interictal Period and Ictal/peri-ictal Period. The treatment was identical for both periods. Treatment sequence was not randomized. The interictal period and ictal/peri-ictal could occur in either order as determined by seizure occurrence.

Interictal Period: Subjects were considered to be in an interictal state if an interval of at least 3 hours had elapsed since any clinically observable postictal signs or symptoms (from the last observed seizure) and the subject had been seizure-free over this period. Subjects on electroencephalogram (EEG) video monitoring were to be considered to be in an interictal state if an interval of at least 3 hours had elapsed since there were any postictal electrical findings on EEG.

Ictal/peri-ictal Period: For the purposes of this study, the ictal state was defined as an ongoing clinically observable seizure or seizure activity as verified via EEG. The periictal state was defined clinically as the subject's immediate postictal state following a generalized tonic-clonic (GTC) seizure or focal seizure with impaired awareness, and within 5 minutes following the last clonic jerk. For subjects on EEG video monitoring, the periictal state was to be defined as less than 5 minutes after cessation of seizure activity as verified via EEG.

      Number of subjects with unsuccessful insertion/placement of the DBF on first attempt at administration Number of subjects with successful insertion/placement of the DBF on first attempt at administration Placement is judged to be successful when film adheres to the center of buccal mucosa of either right or left cheek. Unsuccessful placements were followed by a subsequent successful insertion/placement of DBF

      Was the film noted to have been swallowed by the subject ? Yes No Subjects were instructed to swallow any remnants of film still present in oral cavity 15 minutes after initial film placement. Results include subjects who swallowed film at any point during the 15 minutes immediately after initial film placement.

    3. Usability Endpoint: Retention of Diazepam Buccal Film (DBF) From Placement to Complete Disintegration [Subject was observed for 15 minutes immediately following DBF placement/adhesion]

      Was the DBF spit out or blown out by the subject after placement on buccal mucosa or did the subject chew, talk, or move the DBF prior to complete disintegration/dissolution? Yes No

    4. Usability Endpoint: Exit of Saliva During the Time the Diazepam Buccal Film (DBF) Was Adhered to Buccal Mucosa [Subject was observed for 15 minutes immediately following DBF placement/adhesion]

    5. Usability Endpoint: Amount of Saliva That Exited the Mouth After Film Placement [Subject was observed for 15 minutes immediately following DBF placement/adhesion]

      If Yes - saliva exited the mouth during the time, estimate in milliliters of the amount of saliva that exited the mouth after DBF placement on the buccal surface
