Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral Lacosamide as first add on treatment in subjects with uncontrolled partial-onset seizures after prior treatment with a monotherapy Antiepileptic Drug (AED) regimen compared to subjects who have received treatment with at least 2 AEDs.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 4

Detailed Description

The study consisted of 3 Periods: Period 1: a 1-week Screening Phase, Period 2: a 30-week Treatment Phase (consisting of a 6-week Titration Phase and a 24-week Maintenance Phase), and Period 3: a 3-week Taper/Safety Follow-Up Phase.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. The Proportion of Subjects Who Achieved "Seizure-free Status" During the First 12 Weeks of the Maintenance Phase [From Week 7 (end of Week 6) to end of Week 18]

      A subject will be considered seizure-free if the subject completes the first 12 weeks of the Maintenance Phase, reports zero seizures, and has no seizure data missing for any day during the period of time. This study was intended to assess the efficacy outcomes in the First Add-On Group and the Later Add-On Group individually relative to historical data. Comparisons between the 2 groups should not be attempted and conclusions should not be drawn.

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title The Proportion of Subjects Who Achieved "Seizure-free Status" During the First 12 Weeks of the Maintenance Phase
    Description A subject will be considered seizure-free if the subject completes the first 12 weeks of the Maintenance Phase, reports zero seizures, and has no seizure data missing for any day during the period of time. This study was intended to assess the efficacy outcomes in the First Add-On Group and the Later Add-On Group individually relative to historical data. Comparisons between the 2 groups should not be attempted and conclusions should not be drawn.
