Overview
Brief Summary
This trial, evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of brivaracetam, will give subjects suffering from epilepsy, who may have benefited from brivaracetam, the opportunity to continue the treatment. The study will also evaluate the maintenance of efficacy over time of brivaracetam for subjects with partial onset seizures (POS)/primary generalized seizures (PGS).
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Male/female subjects from 16 years (where legally permitted and ethically accepted) or 18 years onwards suffering from epilepsy and having completed a previous study with brivaracetam as adjunctive treatment, which allowed access to this study
- •Subjects with POS/PGS: inpatients or outpatients with epilepsy who participated in previous brivaracetam studies / programs which allow access to the present study
- •Subjects with ULD: inpatients or outpatients with epilepsy who were treated with brivaracetam in previous studies / programs which allow access to the present study
- •Subjects for whom the Investigator believes a reasonable benefit from the long-term administration of brivaracetam may be expected
Exclusion Criteria
- •Severe medical, neurological and psychiatric disorders, or laboratory values which may have an impact on the safety of the subject
- •Poor compliance with visit schedule or medication intake in previous brivaracetam study
- •Participation in any clinical study of another investigational drug or device during the study

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Participants With at Least One Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)
Time Frame: From Entry Visit until Last Visit (up to 162 months)
Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as those events which started on or after the date of first dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP), or events in which severity worsened on or after the date of first dose of study medication. The event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with that treatment or usage.
Percentage of Participants Who Withdrew Due to an Adverse Event (AE)
Time Frame: From Entry Visit until Last Visit (up to 162 months)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or trial participant that is administered a drug or biologic (medicinal product) or that is using a medical device. The event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with that treatment or usage.
Percentage of Participants With at Least One Serious Adverse Event (SAE)
Time Frame: From Entry Visit until Last Visit (up to 162 months)
A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: * Results in death * Is life-threatening * Requires in patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization * Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect * Is an infection that requires treatment parenteral antibiotics * Other important medical events which based on medical or scientific judgement may jeopardize the patients or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the above.
Secondary Outcomes
- Partial Onset Seizure (POS) (Type I) Frequency Per 28 Days During the Evaluation Period(From Entry Visit until Last Visit (up to 162 months))
- Percent Change in Partial Onset Seizure (POS) (Type I) Frequency Per 28 Days From Baseline of the Previous Study to the Evaluation Period(From Entry Visit until Last Visit (up to 162 months))
- Responder Rate in POS (Type I) Frequency Over the Evaluation Period(From Entry Visit until Last Visit (up to 162 months))
