简要总结
Primary:
- to evaluate the efficacy of phenobarbital in reducing seizure frequency.
Secondary:
- to confirm dose response relationship,
- to assess the effects on Type I seizures,
- to assess the safety of phenobarbital
- to assess the drug tolerability.
详细描述
Primary:
-to evaluate the efficacy of once daily (OD) administration of 60 mg and 100 mg phenobarbital, in reducing seizure frequency in participants with partial onset seizures (Type I seizures; complex or simple with motor symptoms only) not fully controlled despite treatment with 1 to 3 concomitant anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) or AEDs with Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS)
Secondary:
- to confirm dose response relationship of 60 and 100 mg phenobarbital doses,
- to assess the effects of phenobarbital on Type I seizures,
- to assess the safety of phenobarbital
- to assess the tolerability of phenobarbital

结局指标
主要结局
Evaluate the efficacy of OD administration of 60 mg and 100 mg phenobarbital in reduction of seizure frequency
时间窗: 34 weeks with maximum 22-week exposure to phenobarbital
* determination of partial onset seizure frequency per week over the treatment period * comparison of average change in weekly seizure rate from baseline and maintenance period
