Introduction: This project aimed to retrospectively obtain, review, and extract key safety data from medical records of participants enrolled in RAMPART, the NIH-supported Rapid Anticonvulsant Medication Prior to ARrival Trial of intramuscular midazolam versus intravenous lorazepam for pre-hospital treatment of status epilepticus, to support a US new drug application (NDA) for intramuscular midazolam.
Methods: A collaborative partnership was established between the NDA sponsor, the RAMPART trial lead academic institution, US government agencies, and contract research organizations to retrieve, review, and extract relevant safety data from the medical records of RAMPART participants and summarize those data to include in an NDA submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Results: Key data in the medical records of 890 RAMPART trial participants (1020 enrollments, including 130 repeat enrollments) were reviewed and extracted into a project database.
Objective: Part 1 of this phase III study was a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, multicenter study of caregiver administered diazepam auto-injector (AI) in subjects with acute repetitive seizures (ARS) and demonstrated that diazepam AI was well-tolerated and significantly more effective than placebo AI in delaying the time to next seizure or rescue. Part 2 of this study, presented herein, was an open-label continuation to assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of diazepam AI for the treatment of ARS.
Methods: Of the 234 subjects randomized in part 1, 161 continued into part 2 and were provided open-label diazepam AI.
Purpose: A diazepam auto‐injector (AI) has been developed for intramuscular administration to treat acute repetitive seizures (ARS). The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the diazepam AI when administered by caregivers to control an episode of ARS (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00319501).
