3. Subjects having completed the Treatment Period of N01394, N01395, or other planned BRV Phase 3b studies in epilepsy, and have access to the present study.
4. Subject for whom the Investigator believes a reasonable benefit from the long-term administration of BRV may be expected.
5. Female subject without childbearing potential (postmenopausal for at least 2 years, bilateral oophorectomy or tubal ligation, complete hysterectomy) are eligible. Female subjects with childbearing potential are eligible if they use a medically accepted contraceptive method. Oral or depot contraceptive treatment with at least ethinylestradiol 30?g per intake (or ethinylestradiol 50?g per intake if associated with any strong enzyme inducer [eg, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, primidone, phenytoin, oxcarbazepine, St. John?s Wort, rifampicin]), monogamous relationship with vasectomized partner, or double-barrier contraception are acceptable methods. The subject must understand the consequences and potential risks of inadequately protected sexual activity, be educated about and understand the proper use of contraceptive methods, and undertake to inform the Investigator of any potential change in status. Abstinence will be considered as an acceptable method of contraception if the Investigator can document that the subject agrees to be compliant.
6. Subject/legal representative is considered reliable and capable of adhering to the protocol (eg, able to understand and complete diaries and questionnaires), visit schedule, or medication intake according to the judgment of the Investigator.
