Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Epilepsy
Registration Number
NCT00288639
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc.
Brief Summary

The objective of study is to assess the clinical improvement (change in seizure frequency), safety, and tolerability of subjects with partial seizures following adjunctive therapy of pregabalin BID (150 to 600 mg/day titration) in addition to existing standards AEDs.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage Change in Partial Seizure Frequency (All Partial Seizure Types) Between Baseline and the 12 Week Observation Period8 week baseline period & 12 week treatment observation period

Percentage change from baseline=\[(12 week treatment observation period seizure frequency rate minus 8 week baseline period seizure frequency rate)/ 8 week baseline period seizure frequency rate\] x 100. Seizure frequencies per 28-day period: = (total # of partial seizures in period x 28 / (total # of days in period).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage Change in Partial Seizure Frequency (All Partial Seizure Types) Between Baseline and the Whole 21 Week Open-label Treatment Period.8 week baseline period and 21 week treatment period

Percentage change from baseline = ((21 weeks-8 weeks)/8 weeks)\*100. Negative mean R-Ratios and associated 95% CIs that do not include zero indicate reduction in partial seizure frequency.

Percentage Change in Partial Seizure Frequency (All Partial Seizure Types) Between the 8 Week Baseline Period and 4 Week Intervals During the 21 Week Open-label Treatment Period.8 week baseline period and 21 week treatment period

Percentage change from baseline = \[(4 week seizure frequency minus 8 week baseline) / (8 week baseline seizure frequency)\] x 100. Negative mean R-Ratios and associated 95% CIs that do not include zero indicate reduction in partial seizure frequency.

Number of Subjects Seizure-freelast 4 weeks & whole 12 week treatment observation period

Count of subjects seizure free during the period.

Reduction in Partial Seizure Frequency Between Baseline and the Final 4 Weeks of the Observation Period.8 week baseline observation period & last 4 weeks of observation period

Number of subjects with at least a 50% or 75% reduction in partial seizure frequency between baseline and treatment period.

Subjects Achieving Seizure Freedom During Observation PeriodDay 147 from the first dose of study drug

Number of subjects achieving seizure freedom (no seizures) during last 4 weeks or duration of 12 week observation period.

Change in Partial Seizure Frequency (All Partial Seizure Types) Between Baseline and the 12 Week Observation Period Categorized by Baseline Seizure Frequency8 week baseline observation period & 12 week treatment observation period

Percentage change from baseline = ((12 weeks - 8 weeks)/8 weeks)\*100. Negative mean R-Ratios and associated 95% CIs that do not include zero indicate reduction in partial seizure frequency.

Impression of Change in Overall Status Using the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)End of 21-week treatment

The PGIC is a patient-rated instrument that measures change in patient's overall status on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).

Subjects With Categorical Impression of Change in Overall Status Using the Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC)End of 21-week treatment

The CGIC is a clinician's judgment of the overall change in the patient's condition over a defined period on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).

Changes From Baseline in Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Sleep Scale ScoresBaseline, end of 21-week treatment

Subjects recall sleep related activities over the previous 4 weeks. Low scores reflect greater impairment (except sleep adequacy, optimal sleep, \&quantity). Range = 0 - 100 for Sleep Disturbance, Snoring, Awaken Short of Breath, Sleep Adequacy, Somnolence, \& Sleep Problems Index. Quantity of Sleep Range = 0 - 24. Optimal Sleep Range 0 - 1.

Change From Baseline in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS) Depression and Anxiety Symptoms Subscales Between Baseline and Week 21.Baseline, End of 21-week treatment

Change in total HADS score between Baseline and Week 21. Each of the 14 items is scored 0, 1, 2 or 3 where a score of 3 corresponds to the most anxious/depressed. 7-item depression and 7-item anxiety subscales are summed; each resulting in a total score of 0-21.

Number of Subjects With a Weight Gain at End of Treatment of at Least 7% Relative to BaselineBaseline, End of 21-week treatment

Count of subjects with a weight gain of at least 7 percent relative to baseline.

Subjects Assessment of Optimal SleepBaseline, End of 21-week treatment

Number of subjects that responded optimal or non-optimal sleep in Optimal Sleep subscale of Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Sleep scale.
