• An IEC/IRB approved written informed consent signed and dated by the subject or by parent(s) or legally acceptable representative. The consent form or a specific assent form, where required, will be signed and dated by minors.
• Male/female subjects from 16 years or older. Subjects under 18 years may only be included where legally permitted and ethically accepted. In Germany subjects must be older than 18 to enter the study.
• Subjects with epilepsy who participated in previous brivaracetam trials which allow access to the present trial.
• Subjects from whom the Investigator believes a reasonable potential benefit from the long-term administration of brivaracetam may be expected.
• Female subjects without childbearing potential (premenarcheal; 2 years postmenopausal bilateral oophorectomy or ovariectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, complete hysterectomy, congenital sterility) are eligible. Female subjects with childbearing potential are eligible if they use a medically accepted contraceptive method for the duration of the trial (Intra Uterine Device, diaphragm with spermicide, male or female condom with spermicide; oral hormonal contraceptive, non-oral hormonal contraceptive medication, bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral tubal implant, monogamous relationship with vasectomized partner). Oral or depot contraceptive treatment with at least 30 µg [or 50 µg if associated with other antiepileptic drugs known as inducers] ethinylestradiol per intake must be used in conjunction with a barrier method. 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. Sexual inactivity might be accepted on a case-by-case basis.
• Subject/legally acceptable representative considered as reliable and capable of adhering to the protocol (e.g. able to understand and complete diaries and questionnaires), visit schedule or medication intake according to the judgment of the Investigator.
