入选标准

  • Inclusion criteria at Screening (V1).
  • Patient must be /have:
  • 1) written informed consent;
  • 2) of age 65 years or older;
  • 3) a documented diagnosis of epilepsy for at least 12 months;
  • 4) at least 1 partial-onset seizure (including subtypes of simple partial, complex partial and/or partial seizures evolving to secondarily generalised) in the 4 weeks prior to Screening;
  • 5) currently treated with 1 or 2 AEDs (any except oxcarbazepine) in a stable dosage regimen for at least 4 weeks prior to Screening. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is to be considered as an AED (i.e., only one concomitant AED is allowed in patients with VNS);
  • 6) willing and able to comply with all trial requirements, in the judgement of the investigator.
  • At Visit 2 (start of ESL treatment), patient must have:
  • 7) at least 2 partial-onset seizures (documented in the diary) during the 8-week Baseline Period.
  • 8) satisfactorily complied with the study requirements during the Baseline Period.
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • Number of subjects for this age range: 0
  • F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) no
  • F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
  • F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
  • F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 100

排除标准

  • At Visit 1 (Screening), patients must not be / have:
  • 1. only simple partial seizures with no motor symptomatology (classified as A2-4 according to the International Classification of Epileptic Seizures);
  • 2. primarily generalised seizures;
  • 3. known progressive neurological disorders (progressive brain disease, epilepsy secondary to progressive central nervous system lesion) and progressive dementia;
  • 4. occurrence of seizures too close to count accurately;
  • 5. history of status epilepticus or cluster seizures (i.e., 3 or more seizures within 30 minutes) within the 3 months prior to Screening;
  • 6. seizures of non-epileptic origin;
  • 7. major psychiatric disorders;
  • 8. history of suicide attempt;
  • 9. currently treated with oxcarbazepine;
  • 10. previous use of ESL or participation in a clinical study with ESL;
  • 11. known hypersensitivity to other carboxamide derivatives (e.g., oxcarbazepine, carbamazepine) or to any of the excipients;
  • 12. uncontrolled cardiac, renal, hepatic, endocrine, gastrointestinal, metabolic, haematological or oncology disorder, hypo – or hyper thyroidism of any type;
  • 13. second or third-degree atrioventricular blockade or any clinically significant abnormality in the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) as determined by the investigator;
  • 14. relevant clinical laboratory abnormalities as determined by the investigator (e.g., plasma sodium <130 mmol/L, alanine or aspartate aminotransferases >2.0 times above the upper limit of the normal range, or white blood cell count <3,000 cells/mm3);
  • 15. calculated creatinine clearance values < 30 mL/min at screening;
  • 16. any other condition or circumstance that, in the opinion of the investigator, may compromise the patient’s ability to comply with the study protocol;
  • 17. received an investigational drug (or a medical device) within 3 months of Screening or is currently participating in another trial of an investigational drug (or medical device) trial.
