Conditions
Epilepsies, Partial
Partial Seizures
Interventions
Drug: placebo
Registration Number
NCT01262677
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc.
Brief Summary

Approximately 30% percent of subjects with partial seizures are refractory to treatment with single or combination antiepileptic drugs. The present study will compare the efficacy of two different dosages of pregabalin CR dosed once daily as compared to placebo, when used as adjunctive therapy in subjects requiring adjunctive therapy for partial onset epilepsy, using a randomized, parallel group design.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Log Transformed (Loge) 28-day Seizure Rate for All Partial Onset Seizures During the Double-blind Treatment PhaseWeek 0 to Week 14

Seizures were recorded and documented in a daily Seizure Diary by the participants, family member, caregiver, or legal guardian. Simple partial seizures without a visible motor component (ie, lacking visible movements during the seizure) were not counted toward eligibility, or in the primary or secondary efficacy analyses. Natural logarithm of the 28-day seizure rate was reported in this outcome measure.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With a ≥50% Reduction in the 28-day Partial Seizure Rate From Baseline During the Double-blind Treatment PhaseWeek 0 to Week 14

Seizures were recorded and documented in a daily Seizure Diary by the participants, family member, caregiver, or legal guardian. Simple partial seizures without a visible motor component (ie, lacking visible movements during the seizure) were not counted toward eligibility, or in the primary or secondary efficacy analyses. Participants who had a ≥50% reduction in the 28-day partial seizure rate from baseline were defined as a responder, otherwise they were default as a non-responder.

Change From Baseline in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale - Anxiety (HADS-A) Total Score at Week 14Baseline, Week 14

HADS: participant rated questionnaire with 2 subscales. HADS-A assesses state of generalized anxiety (anxious mood, restlessness, anxious thoughts, panic attacks); HADS-D assesses state of lost interest and diminished pleasure response (lowering of hedonic tone). Each subscale comprised of 7 items with range 0 (no presence of anxiety or depression) to 3 (severe feeling of anxiety or depression). Total score 0 to 21 for each subscale; higher score indicates greater severity of anxiety and depression symptoms.

Benefit, Satisfaction, and Willingness to Continue Measure (BSW): Benefit From Treatment QuestionWeek 14

The BSW consisted of 3 single-item measures designed to capture the participant's perception of the effect of treatment in terms of the relative benefit, their satisfaction, and their intention or willingness to continue on therapy. The BSW was read aloud to the participant by the investigator or designated center personnel and then was given to the participant to complete independently.

Physical examinations included general appearance (including hight at baseline), vital sign (sitting heart rate and sitting blood pressure), weight, skin (examination for the presence of rash), HEENT (examinatin of head, eyes, ears, nose and throat), chest ausculation of lung fields), cardiovascular (ausculatin of heart sounds (S1 and S2) and for the presence of murmurs, gallops, or rubs), gastrointestinal (abdominal rigidity and tenderness), an extremities (e.g. edema). Clinically significant physical examination abnormalities were considered as adverse events based on investigator's discretion.

C-CASA is described as a standardized suicidal rating system. The C-CASA has eight categories (4 suicidal events: completed suicide, suicide attempt, preparatory act toward imminent suicidal behavior (PAISB), and suicidal ideation; 2 nonsuicidal events: self-injurious behavior, no suicidal intent (SIB-NSI) and other no deliberate self-harm, and 2 indeterminate or potentially suicidal events: self-injurious behavior, suicidal intent unknown and not enough information) that distinguish suicidal events from nonsuicidal events and indeterminate or potentially suicidal events.

Physical examinations included general appearance (including hight at baseline), vital sign (sitting heart rate and sitting blood pressure), weight, skin (examination for the presence of rash), HEENT (examinatin of head, eyes, ears, nose and throat), chest (ausculation of lung fields), cardiovascular (ausculatin of heart sounds (S1 and S2) and for the presence of murmurs, gallops, or rubs), gastrointestinal(abdominal rigidity and tenderness), an extremities (e.g. edema).

Percentage of Participants With Corrected QT (QTc) Interval Greater Than or Equal to 450 msWeek 15

The original ECG was reviewed by the investigator and kept on site as part of source documentation. A central ECG reader was also used for this study. QT interval corrected using the Fridericia formula (QTcF) and QT interval corrected using the Bazett's formula (QTcB) were calculated.

Percentage of Participants With Relevant ECG Interval-increases From Baseline During the Double-blind Treatment PhaseWeek 15

The original ECG was reviewed by the investigator and kept on site as part of source documentation. A central ECG reader was also used for this study. 25/50% represents ≥25% or ≥50% increase over baseline respectively, based on cut points. Cut points are 100 ms for QRS and 200 ms for PR.

Percentage of Participants With Laboratory Test Abnormalities During the StudyDay 1 to Week 15

Laboratory samples in hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis were analyzed by a cental laboratory. Any laboratory value that was identified as clinically significant was reported as an AE. LLN: Lower limit of normal, ULN: Uper limit of normal, RBC: Red Blood Cell, WBC: White Blood Cell, AST: Aspartate Aminotransferase, ALT: Alanine Aminotransferase, BUN: Blood Urea Nitrogen
