Criteria

Key Inclusion:

  1. Clinical diagnosis of LGS at screening, which might include the presence of a slow background electroencephalogram (EEG) rhythm, slow spikes-waves pattern (less than 3 Hz), the presence of polyspikes; care should be taken not to include benign myoclonic epilepsy of infancy, subjects with a diagnosis of atypical benign partial epilepsy (pseudo-Lennox syndrome), or continuous spike-waves of slow sleep (CSWS).
  2. On a fixed dose of one to three concomitant regionally approved antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) for a minimum of 8 weeks prior to randomization with an inadequate response to treatment.
  3. Consistent seizure documentation (i.e., no uncertainty of the presence of seizures) and AED treatment documentation during the 8 week pre-randomization period.

Key Exclusion:

  1. Familial short QT syndrome
  2. Prior treatment with rufinamide
