A Double-blind, Randomized Conversion to Monotherapy Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Brivaracetam in Subjects (≥ 16 to 75 Years Old) With Partial Onset Seizures

Phase 3

Terminated

• Conditions: Epilepsy
• Interventions: Drug: Brivaracetam

• Registration Number: NCT00699283
• Lead Sponsor: UCB Pharma

Brief Summary

Antiepileptic Drugs (AEDs) are the main treatment for epilepsy; however, only a limited number of AEDs are approved for use as monotherapy. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of BRV in the conversion of partial onset seizure patients from combination treatment to monotherapy.

Brivaracetam (BRV) 1	Brivaracetam	50 mg daily
Brivaracetam (BRV) 2	Brivaracetam	100 mg daily

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The Cumulative Exit Rate at 112 Days After the Beginning of the Baseline Antiepileptic Drug (AED) Tapering Phase	From Visit 4 (week 1) to the end of the Evaluation Period (week 17) (approximately 16 weeks)	The cumulative exit rate was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods and was based on the duration between start of the Evaluation Period (EP) and the earliest date the first exit criterion was met for each subject. Subjects completing the EP without meeting an exit criterion were censored on Day 112. The primary comparison was BRV 50 mg/day vs a historical control. The upper limit of the 2-sided 95 % Confidence Interval for the estimate was compared to the historical lower bound estimate of 0.722.
