Detailed Description
SP848 is an open-label study to evaluate long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy in children with epilepsy treated with Lacosamide (LCM) oral solution (syrup) or LCM tablets as adjunctive therapy. In addition, the study is designed to provide continued availability of LCM to subjects who have completed the SP847 (NCT00938431) study and to subjects who have discontinued from SP847 (NCT00938431) and who, in the investigator's opinion, would benefit from long-term administration of LCM.
SP848 will be open to subjects who have participated in other LCM pediatric clinical studies in epilepsy and will also be open to up to 100 subjects enrolling directly into SP848. Permissible LCM doses in SP848 are between 2-12 mg/kg/day (oral solution [syrup]) or the corresponding tablet dose up to a maximum dose of 600 mg/day.
Subjects enrolled in SP848 have the option of remaining on the oral solution formulation of LCM or switching to the commercial tablet formulation, if feasible.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of Participants With At Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) [From Baseline to End of Safety Follow-Up (up to 4.3 years)]
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation study participant administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. TEAEs were defined as those events which started on or after the date of first SP848 LCM administration and occurred within 30 days after last dose of LCM, or whose severity worsened on or after the date of first SP848 LCM administration.
- Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [From Baseline to End of Safety Follow-Up (up to 4.3 years)]
SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in death, is life-threatening, required in participant hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, is an infection that requires treatment with parenteral antibiotics, other important medical events which based on medical or scientific judgement may jeopardize the participants, or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the above.
- Number of Participants That Withdraw Due to a Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event [From Baseline to End of Safety Follow-Up (up to 4.3 years)]
TEAEs were defined as those events which started on or after the date of first SP848 LCM administration and occurred within 30 days after last dose of LCM, or whose severity worsened on or after the date of first SP848 LCM administration.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Percent Change From Baseline in 28 Day Partial-onset Seizure Frequency to the End of the Treatment Period [From Baseline to End of Treatment Period (up to 4.2 years)]
Percent change in seizure frequency per 28 days (PCH) from the Baseline value (B) to Treatment Period interval (T) was defined as:PCH = [(SFT - SFB)/SFB] x 100 where, SFT corresponded to seizure frequency during Treatment Period for relative interval in open-label study and SFB corresponded to Baseline seizure frequency. For both periods, the frequency was standardized to the number of seizures per 28 days. For rollover participants, the Baseline values from the previous pediatric studies were designated as Baseline values in SP848. The Baseline value for seizure counts for directly enrolled participants were taken from the historical seizure count case report form/electronic case report form (CRF/eCRF) module in combination with the seizure diary data collected from the date of the Screening Visit to the day prior to the date of first dose of LCM. Participants from EP0060 RxL enrollment group had no baseline data due to taking oral LCM prior to EP0060.
- Percentage of Participants With ≥50% Reduction in 28-day Partial-onset Seizure Frequency [From Baseline to End of Treatment Period (up to 4.2 years)]
A 50% responder is a participant experiencing a ≥50% reduction in partial-onset seizure frequency per 28 days from Baseline to end of the specified time interval, otherwise a participant is a non-responder. For rollover participants, the Baseline values from the previous pediatric studies were designated as Baseline values in SP848. The Baseline value for seizure counts for directly enrolled participants were taken from the historical seizure count CRF/eCRF module in combination with the seizure diary data collected from the date of the Screening Visit to the day prior to the date of first dose of LCM. Participants from EP0060 RxL enrollment group had no baseline data due to taking oral LCM prior to EP0060.
- Percentage of Participants With ≥75% Reduction in 28-day Partial-onset Seizure Frequency [From Baseline to End of Treatment Period (up to 4.2 years)]
A 75% responder is a participant experiencing a ≥75% reduction in partial-onset seizure frequency per 28 days from Baseline to end of the specified time interval, otherwise a participant is a non-responder. For rollover participants, the Baseline values from the previous pediatric studies were designated as Baseline values in SP848. The Baseline value for seizure counts for directly enrolled participants were taken from the historical seizure count CRF/eCRF module in combination with the seizure diary data collected from the date of the Screening Visit to the day prior to the date of first dose of LCM. Participants from EP0060 RxL enrollment group had no baseline data due to taking oral LCM prior to EP0060.
- Number of Seizure Days Per 28 Days for Participants With Generalized Seizures [Weeks 4, 8, 12, 20, 28, 36, 44, 52, 60, 72, 84 and 96]
A seizure day was defined as a day where any type of seizure was reported in the seizure diary and seizures were assessed. Days in the seizure diary which were marked as "not done" on the CRF/eCRF were not counted as seizure-free days.
- Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Seizure-free Status [From Baseline to End of Treatment Period (up to 4.2 years)]
Study participants were considered seizure-free for a given period if they completed the period, reported zero seizures during the period, and had no more than 10% of days in the period for which seizure data were not available (ie, "not done" was noted on the Seizure Frequency CRF/eCRF module).

For both periods, the frequency was standardized to the number of seizures per 28 days. For rollover participants, the Baseline values from the previous pediatric studies were designated as Baseline values in SP848. The Baseline value for seizure counts for directly enrolled participants were taken from the historical seizure count case report form/electronic case report form (CRF/eCRF) module in combination with the seizure diary data collected from the date of the Screening Visit to the day prior to the date of first dose of LCM.

Arm/Group Description | Participants aged ≥1 month received either LCM 2-12 mg/kg/day (oral solution) or 100-600 mg/day (tablet) at a level to optimize tolerability and seizure control (maximum dose of 12 mg/kg/day or 600 mg/day based on body weight, whichever was lower) for approximately 2 years. Participants formed the FAS which included all study participants in the SS who had at least 1 completed post-Baseline seizure diary. |

Title | Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Seizure-free Status |
---|---|
Description | Study participants were considered seizure-free for a given period if they completed the period, reported zero seizures during the period, and had no more than 10% of days in the period for which seizure data were not available (ie, "not done" was noted on the Seizure Frequency CRF/eCRF module). |
Time Frame | From Baseline to End of Treatment Period (up to 4.2 years) |
Outcome Measure Data
Analysis Population Description |
---|
The FAS consisted of all study participants in the SS who had at least 1 completed post-Baseline seizure diary. Here, number of participants analyzed included those participants who were evaluable for the assessment. |

Arm/Group Title | Lacosamide (All Participants) (SS) | |
Arm/Group Description | Participants aged ≥1 month received either LCM 2-12 mg/kg/day (oral solution) or 100-600 mg/day (tablet) at a level to optimize tolerability and seizure control (maximum dose of 12 mg/kg/day or 600 mg/day based on body weight, whichever was lower) for approximately 2 years.
