Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Seizure-free Participants (Responders) During Efficacy Assessment Phase [Week 5 up to Week 56]

    Responders = participants who achieved any 6 consecutive months (>182 days) of seizure-freedom (absence of partial seizures, generalized seizures and unclassified epileptic seizures) during the 52 week efficacy assessment phase.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Time to 6 Consecutive Months of Seizure-freedom After 4-week Dose Escalation Phase: All Seizures [Week 4 up to Week 56]

    Time in days, from first day of study medication to the first 6 months of seizure freedom after Day 28. Participants who did not achieve 6 months seizure freedom after Day 28 were censored from analysis.

  2. Exit Due to Adverse Events During the Double-blind Treatment Phase (Including Dose Escalation Phase) [Week 0 to Week 56]

    Number of participants who exited the study due to adverse events during the double-blind treatment period. Time in days, from first day of study treatment to day of exit from the study due to an adverse event (ie, last day on study medication) during the double blind treatment period (including dose escalation phase) was inestimable. Observations with other reasons for exiting or participants who did not exit the study were right censored as of the last day on study medication.

  3. Exit for Any Reason During the Double-blind Treatment Phase (Including Dose Escalation Phase) [Week 0 to Week 56]

    Number of participants who exited the study for any reason during the double blind treatment phase. Time in days, from first day of study treatment to day of exit from the study due to any reason (ie, last day on study medication) was inestimable. Participants who did not exit the study were right censored as of the last day on study medication.

  4. Exit Due to Lack of Efficacy After 4-week Dose Escalation Phase [Week 4 up to Week 56]

    Number of participants who exited the study due to lack of efficacy after the 4-week dose escalation phase. Time in days, from first day of study treatment to day of exit due to lack of efficacy after Day 28 of the escalation phase (ie, last day on study medication) was inestimable. Participants who did not exit or exited for a different reason were right censored as of the last day on study medication.

  5. Exit Due to Any Reason After 4-week Dose Escalation Phase [Week 4 up to Week 56]

    Number of participants who exited the study due to any reason after the 4-week dose escalation phase. Time in days, from first day of study treatment to day of exit after Day 28 of the study due to any reason (ie, last day on study medication) was inestimable. Participants who did not exit or did not reach this phase were right censored as of the last day on study medication.

  6. Time to First Seizure After the 4-Week Dose Escalation Phase [Week 4 up to Week 56]

    Participant rated questionnaire with 2 subscales. HADS-A assesses state of generalized anxiety (anxious mood, restlessness, anxious thoughts, panic attacks); HADS-D assesses state of lost interest and diminished pleasure response (lowering of hedonic tone). Each subscale comprised of 7 items; range: 0 (no presence of anxiety or depression) to 3 (severe feeling of anxiety or depression). Total score 0 to 21 for each subscale; higher score indicates greater severity of symptoms. Scores relative to start of randomized treatment.

  17. Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale (MOS-SS): Optimal Sleep Subscale [Week 8, Week 32, and Week 56]

    MOS-SS: subject-rated instrument used to assess the key constructs of sleep over the past week; assesses sleep quantity and quality and is comprised 12 items yielding 7 subscale scores and 2 composite index scores. Optimal Sleep subscale is derived from sleep quantity average hours of sleep each night during the past week. Number of subjects with response Optimal if sleep quantity was 7 or 8 hours of sleep per night, and Non-optimal if average sleep was less than or greater than 7 to 8 hours per night. Analysis assesses the MOS-Sleep scale relative to the start of randomized treatment.

Statistical Analysis 1
Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Pregabalin, Lamotrigine
Comments Analysis of the binary response variable for 6 consecutive months seizure freedom analyzed by comparing the proportions of favorable responders between the two treatment groups after stratifying by clusters and correcting for skewness (Gart and Nam, 1990). Percentage can be obtained by multiplying proportion by 100.
Type of Statistical Test Non-Inferiority or Equivalence (legacy)
Comments Non-inferiority margin for the proportion of seizure free participants set at 10%; non-inferiority declared if the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the difference in seizure-free proportion between pregabalin and lamotrigine was no more than 10% in favor of lamotrigine, but 0 was contained within the lower bound of the CI. Interpretation of superiority required lower bound of CI did not contain 0 in favor of pregabalin.

Title Exit Due to Lack of Efficacy After 4-week Dose Escalation Phase
Description Number of participants who exited the study due to lack of efficacy after the 4-week dose escalation phase. Time in days, from first day of study treatment to day of exit due to lack of efficacy after Day 28 of the escalation phase (ie, last day on study medication) was inestimable. Participants who did not exit or exited for a different reason were right censored as of the last day on study medication.
Time Frame Week 4 up to Week 56

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
FAS. N = number of participants who entered maintenance phase of study and had seizure efficacy data. Time to exit due to lack of efficacy after 4-week dose escalation phase was inestimable as survival estimate at end of maintenance phase was below 0.500.
Arm/Group Title Pregabalin Lamotrigine
Arm/Group Description Pregabalin 150, 300, 450 or 600 mg/day orally twice daily (BID); individual titration based on number of seizures experienced once Level 1 (150 mg/day) was maintained for at least 7 days, and dose reductions based on intolerable adverse events. Escalation to next dose level allowed only after completing previous dose level for at least 1 week. Lamotrigine 100, 200, 400, or 500 mg/day orally BID; individual titration based on number of seizures experienced once Level 1 (100 mg/day) was reached and maintained for 7 days, and dose reductions based on intolerable adverse events.

Title Change From Baseline to Week 56 in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)
Description Participant rated questionnaire with 2 subscales. HADS-A assesses state of generalized anxiety (anxious mood, restlessness, anxious thoughts, panic attacks); HADS-D assesses state of lost interest and diminished pleasure response (lowering of hedonic tone). Each subscale comprised of 7 items; range: 0 (no presence of anxiety or depression) to 3 (severe feeling of anxiety or depression). Total score 0 to 21 for each subscale; higher score indicates greater severity of symptoms. Scores relative to start of randomized treatment.

Title Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale (MOS-SS): Optimal Sleep Subscale
Description MOS-SS: subject-rated instrument used to assess the key constructs of sleep over the past week; assesses sleep quantity and quality and is comprised 12 items yielding 7 subscale scores and 2 composite index scores. Optimal Sleep subscale is derived from sleep quantity average hours of sleep each night during the past week. Number of subjects with response Optimal if sleep quantity was 7 or 8 hours of sleep per night, and Non-optimal if average sleep was less than or greater than 7 to 8 hours per night. Analysis assesses the MOS-Sleep scale relative to the start of randomized treatment.
