Trial overview
The trial data show three studies that investigate Alprazolam in different settings.[1][2][3] Two studies focus on prolonged seizures in children 12 years and older and adults, and one study includes Alprazolam in a pain management plan for oocyte pick-up during fertility treatment.[1][2][3]
Studies in prolonged seizures
NCT05076617 is an authorised Phase 3 extension study for children aged 12 years and older and adults with treatment of stereotypical prolonged seizure.[1] Its brief summary says the study is designed to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of Staccato Alprazolam.[1]
The main safety outcomes are the frequency of treatment-emergent adverse events, the frequency of adverse events that lead to withdrawal from the study, and the frequency of serious adverse events.[1] In simple terms, this trial is checking whether health problems appear after treatment starts and whether they are serious enough to make people stop the study.[1]
NCT05077904 is another authorised Phase 3 study in the same age group, also focused on stereotypical prolonged seizure.[2] This outpatient study compares a single administration of Staccato Alprazolam with placebo, which is a look-alike treatment with no active substance.[2]
The primary outcome is treatment success for the treated seizure with no recurrence after 2 hours.[2] The brief summary adds that the study looks at whether a single dose can rapidly stop a seizure episode within 90 seconds and prevent seizure return for up to 2 hours after the investigational medicinal product is given.[2]
Study in fertility-related procedural pain
Trial 2025-523018-10-00 is an authorised interventional study about acute procedural pain during oocyte pick-up, also called oocyte retrieval, in women undergoing IVF or ART.[3] The intervention list includes XANAX 0.5 mg tablets, along with several other pain-management medicines used in the study plan.[3]
The primary outcome is overall intra-procedural pain intensity during oocyte pick-up, measured with a VAS pain scale from 0 to 100 mm every 2 minutes from the first puncture until the procedure is finished.[3] The study summary says the research is designed to compare pain control approaches during the procedure.[3]
Who can participate
The seizure studies include children 12 years and older and adults with stereotypical prolonged seizure.[1][2] These trials are not described as open to all patients with seizures, but to the specific group named in the trial records.[1][2]
The fertility-related study includes women undergoing IVF or ART who are having oocyte pick-up.[3] This means the study is focused on a procedure-related pain setting rather than on seizure care.[3]
What the trials measure
The seizure extension study measures safety through adverse events, withdrawal from the study, and serious adverse events.[1] These are common trial endpoints, meaning the main results researchers want to track.[1]
The outpatient seizure study measures whether the treated seizure succeeds without coming back within 2 hours.[2] This endpoint combines fast seizure control with lasting effect over a short follow-up period.[2]
The fertility pain study measures pain repeatedly during the procedure using VAS scores every 2 minutes, and the protocol mentions a derived measure such as mean, median, or area under the curve over time.[3] Area under the curve means the study looks at pain across time, not just one single score.[3]
Study design and phases
Both seizure studies are Phase 3 and are described as interventional trials.[1][2] Phase 3 studies usually test a treatment in a larger group and compare it with another approach such as placebo.[1][2]
The fertility-related pain study is also interventional and is listed as Low Intervention.[3] In this data, that means the study is still a clinical trial, but the treatment approach is presented as a lower-intensity research setting than a typical drug trial.[3]
The enrollment numbers are 292 for NCT05076617, 350 for NCT05077904, and 318 for 2025-523018-10-00.[1][2][3] These numbers show that the studies are designed to include moderate-sized groups of participants.[1][2][3]
