Interventions Drug: Lacosamide
Drug: Carbamazepine-Controlled Release (CBZ-CR)
Enrollment 551
Recruitment Details Enrollment started in May 2012 and concluded in January 2017 - 551 patients. Due to the political and civil unrest in Luhansk PAREXEL was not able to conduct further site visits to one site in Ukraine and to collect further data for 2 subjects,they were excluded from SP0994, leaving 549 patients in the Enrolled Set out of 551 initially enrolled.
Pre-assignment Details

A total of 549 subjects gave informed consent in SP0994 and were included in the Enrolled Set, 548 subjects received at least 1 dose of study medication and were included in the Safety Set (SS).

Participant Flow refers to the Safety Population including all enrolled subjects who received at least 1 dose of study medication in the current study.
