Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Lacosamide

|
Drug: lacosamide
50mg or 100 mg tablets, up to 800 mg/day given twice daily (BID) throughout the trial |
- Number of Subjects Reporting at Least 1 Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) During the Treatment Period (Maximum 6 Years) [ Time Frame: During the Treatment Period (Maximum 6 years) ]Adverse events are any untoward medical occurrences in a subject administered study treatment, whether or not these events are related to treatment.
- Number of Subjects Prematurely Discontinuing Due to a Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) During the Treatment Period (Maximum 6 Years) [ Time Frame: During the Treatment Period (Maximum 6 years) ]Adverse events are any untoward medical occurrences in a subject administered study treatment, whether or not these events are related to treatment.
- Number of Subjects Reporting at Least 1 Serious Adverse Event (SAE) During the Treatment Period (Maximum 6 Years) [ Time Frame: During the Treatment Period (Maximum 6 years) ]Serious adverse events are any untoward serious medical occurrences in a subject administered study treatment, whether or not these events are related to treatment.
- Median Percentage Change From Baseline in 28-day Seizure Frequency During the Treatment Period (Maximum 6 Years) [ Time Frame: Baseline (8-week Baseline Period from the parent study SP0754 [NCT00136019]), Treatment Period (Maximum 6 years) ]Negative changes from Baseline indicate an improvement (i.e., a reduction) in 28-day seizure frequency.
- Percentage of at Least 50 % Responders During the Treatment Period (Maximum 6 Years) [ Time Frame: Treatment Period (Maximum 6 years) ]At least 50 percent response is based on the percentage reduction in 28-day seizure frequency during the Treatment Period of the open-label extension relative to the Baseline Phase of the prior study.
