入选标准

  • Male and female outpatients age 18 to 65 years (inclusive)
  • 2. Weight of greater than or equal to 50 kg (110 lb)
  • 3. Have a diagnosis of epilepsy (more than 2 years before screening) with partial seizures
  • with or without secondarily generalized seizures according to the International League
  • Against Epilepsys Classification of Epileptic Seizures (ILAE, 1981) Appendix 5
  • The Diagnosis should have been established by clinical history and electroencephalogram
  • (EEG) that is consistent with localization related epilepsy
  • 4. Must have at least 4 partial seizures (defined as simple partial seizures with motor signs,
  • complex partial seizures, complex partial seizures with secondary generalization or a
  • combination of these types) during the 4 week baseline period and the 4 weeks
  • immediately preceding the baseline period
  • 5. Have no 28day seizurefree period during the 8 weeks preceding randomization
  • 6. Must have a positive test result for iGluR3 antibodies in the blood at screening. The mean
  • plus three standard deviations derived from healthy donors will be chosen as cutoff value.
  • 7. Must have uncontrolled partial seizures despite having been treated with at least two
  • different antiepileptic drugs within the last 2 years prior to screening (given concurrently
  • or sequentially)
  • 8. Must be receiving stable treatment (see inclusion criteria 8.1 to 8.4 and 9) with 1 or a
  • maximum of 2 AEDs from the list presented below:
  • 8.1 No change in medication type, dose or frequency for 8 weeks prior to
  • randomization: Carbamazepine, Eslicarbazepine, Oxcarbazepine, Phenytoin,
  • Valproate, Lacosamide, Lamotrigine, Levetiracetam, Clobazam, Topiramate,
  • Zonisamide, Gabapentin and Pregabalin. Felbamate is only allowed, if treatment
  • has been continous for greater than or equal to 2 years.
  • 8.2 No change in medication type, dose or frequency for 12 weeks prior to
  • randomization Phenobarbital and Primidone
  • 8.3 Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) will be counted as 1 AED. If using a vagal nerve
  • stimulator, the device must have been implanted for at least 5 months prior to
  • randomization. Stimulator parameters may not have been changed within 8 weeks
  • prior to randomization
  • 8.4 Stable benzodiazepine treatment (no change in medication type, dose, or frequency
  • for 12 weeks prior to randomization) administered for e.g. epilepsy, anxiety, or
  • sleep disorders will be counted as one AED
  • Note: The use of intermittent benzodiazepines is defined in the exclusion criteria
  • 2.5, refer to Section 4.2.
  • 9. Must have had either a computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • within the 5 years prior to screening that ruled out progressive neurological changes (e.g.
  • Alzheimerâ??s disease, Parkinsonâ??s disease) in addition, no physical examination changes
  • suggestive of such lesions or diseases should have occurred since the imaging procedure
  • If a patient has not had a CT or MRI within the past 5 years, then a MRI must be
  • performed during the screening period and the results must be reviewed for compliance
  • with above criterion prior to randomization
  • 10. Patients having had pre-surgical evaluations may be included. Also, patients having had
  • brain surgery for partial seizures may be included, if surger

排除标准

  • * Presence of only non-motor simple partial seizures
  • * History of psychogenic seizures
  • * Absences, myoclonic seizures e.g. in the context of primary generalized epilepsy;
  • * Previous history of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome
  • *Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women
  • * Status epilepticus or seizure clusters, according to the judgement of the investigator, occurring within 52 weeks prior to randomization
