Overview
Brief Summary
This trial, evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of brivaracetam will provide subjects suffering from epilepsy, who may have benefited from brivaracetam as adjunctive treatment, the opportunity to receive open label brivaracetam treatment.
Detailed Description
Study access was limited to subjects having completed one of the previous brivaracetam (BRV) studies: N01193 \[NCT00175825\], N01252 \[NCT00490035\], N01253 \[NCT00464269\], N01254 \[NCT00504881\].

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Participants With at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) During the Study Period
Time Frame: Visit 1 through last Evaluation Period, Down-Titration, or Post-Treatment Periods (up to 11 years)
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) are any untoward medical incidence in a subject during administered study treatment, whether or not these events are related to study treatment.
Percentage of Participants Who Withdrew Due to an Adverse Event (AE) During the Study Period
Time Frame: Visit 1 through last Evaluation Period, Down-Titration, or Post-Treatment Periods (up to 11 years)
Adverse Events (AE) are any untoward medical incidence in a subject during administered study treatment, whether or not these events are related to study treatment.
Percentage of Participants With a Serious Adverse Event (SAE) During the Study Period
Time Frame: Visit 1 through last Evaluation Period, Down-Titration, or Post-Treatment Periods (up to 11 years)
A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any untoward medical incidence that occurs at any dose.
Secondary Outcomes
- Partial Onset Seizure (POS) (Type I) Frequency Per 28 Days During the Evaluation Period(From Baseline of the previous study to the Evaluation Period (up to 11 years))
- Percentage of Participants With Response for Partial Onset Seizure (POS) (Type I) Frequency Over the Evaluation Period(From Baseline of the previous study to the Evaluation Period (up to 11 years))
- Percent Change in Partial Onset Seizure (POS) (Type I) Frequency Per 28 Days From Baseline of the Previous Study to the Evaluation Period(From Baseline of the previous study to the Evaluation Period (up to 11 years))
