•Male/female subjects from 16 years or older. Subjects under 18 years may only be included where legally permitted and ethically accepted.
•Inpatients or outpatients with epilepsy who were treated with brivaracetam in previous trials / programs which allow access to the present trial.
•Subjects for whom the Investigator believes a reasonable benefit from the long-term administration of brivaracetam may be expected.
••Female subjects without childbearing potential (premenarcheal; 2 years post-menopausal; 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 participation (Intra Uterine Device; diaphragm with spermicide; male or female condom with spermicide; oral hormonal contraceptive; non- oral hormonal contraceptive medication; bilateral tubal ligation; monogamous relationship with vasectomized partner).
In particular, oral or depot contraceptive treatment with at least 30 µg [or 50 µg if associated with carbamazepine (CBZ) or other strong enzyme inducing drugs] ethinylestradiol per intake 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.
