简要总结
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the study drug lacosamide (200-600 mg/day) when added to a stable dose of levetiracetam (1000-3000 mg/day) with withdrawal of the concomitant sodium channel blocking-antiepileptic drug (AEDs) in subjects not well controlled on their current regimen.

入选标准
- •Subject is male or female, at least 18 years of age
- •Subject has a diagnosis of epilepsy with partial-onset seizures according to the International Classification of Epileptic Seizures (1981)
- •Subject is taking levetiracetam (LEV) in combination with 1 sodium channel blocking antiepileptic drug (defined as carbamazepine, lamotrigine, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, or eslicarbazepine) as adjunctive treatment for epilepsy
- •The minimum required seizure frequency during the 8-week Retrospective Seizure Baseline is on average ≥ 2 partial-onset seizures per 28 days with at least 1 seizure per 4 week period within the 8-week Retrospective Seizure Baseline. Additionally, subjects must experience at least 1 seizure during the 4-week Prospective Seizure Baseline
- •Subject has been maintained on a stable dose of LEV and a sodium channel blocking antiepileptic drug (SCB-AED) for at least 4 weeks prior to the Screening Visit (Visit 1) and during the 4-week Prospective Seizure Baseline
- •The minimum required seizure frequency during the 8-week Retrospective Seizure Baseline is on average ≥ 2 partial-onset seizures per 28 days (based on investigator assessment of subject report) with at least 1 seizure per 4 week period within the 8-week Retrospective Seizure Baseline
- •Subject has been maintained on a stable dose of levetiracetam (LEV) and a sodium channel blocking antiepileptic drug (SCB-AED) for at least 4 weeks prior to the Screening Visit (Visit 1) and during the 4-week Prospective Seizure Baseline, with or without additional concurrent stable vagal nerve stimulation (VNS). The VNS must have been in place for at least 6 months prior to the Screening Visit (Visit 1) with constant settings for at least 4-weeks prior to the Screening Visit (Visit 1) and throughout the duration of the study
排除标准
- •Previous use of lacosamide
- •History of alcohol or drug abuse
- •History of seizure disorder characterized primarily by isolated auras
- •History of primary generalized seizures
- •History of status epilepticus within the 12-months
- •History of clustering seizures
- •Nonepileptic events, including pseudoseizures that could be confused with seizures
- •History of any medical or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, could jeopardize the subject's health or would compromise the subject's ability to participate in this study
- •Lifetime history of suicide attempt, or suicidal ideation in the past 6 months
- •Hypersensitivity to any component of lacosamide (LCM)
- •History of acute or sub-acute progressive central nervous system disease
- •History of severe anaphylactic reaction or serious blood dyscrasias
- •Impaired renal function (ie, Creatinine Clearance (CLcr) is lower than 30 mL/min) at Visit 1
- •History of sick sinus syndrome without a pacemaker, or atrioventricular (AV) block, or subject has any other clinically significant electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities
- •History sodium channelopathy, such as Brugada syndrome
- •History of myocardial infarction in the last 3 months
研究组 & 干预措施
Lacosamide
Lacosamide will be added to levetiracetam while withdrawing the sodium channel blocking antiepileptic drug (AED)
干预措施: Lacosamide (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Retention at the End of the 21-week Treatment Period
时间窗: Duration of the Treatment Period (21 Weeks)
Retention is a summary measure that integrates both the patient's and clinician's assessment of efficacy and tolerability in epilepsy clinical studies to provide a measure of effectiveness.
