Brief Summary:
This study will determine the safety and efficacy of pregabalin (Lyrica) when administered by itself (without any other anti-epileptic medication) to epilepsy subjects for the treatment of partial seizures. The duration of the trial is about 6 months.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Epilepsies, Partial Drug: pregabalin 600 mg/day Drug: pregabalin 150 mg/day Phase 3

Detailed Description:
After review of the interim analysis results, the independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) recommended to stop the study based on positive efficacy findings for the primary efficacy endpoint according to pre-specified stopping rules. Pfizer accepted the DMC recommendation and made the decision to stop the study on September 7, 2011.

Outcome Measures

Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants in the Pregabalin 600 mg/Day Treatment Group Discontinuing the Study Due to at Least 1 Pre-Defined Seizure Exit Criteria [ Time Frame: Week 2 up to Week 18 ]
    Participants who discontinued due to: episode of status epilepticus (SE); secondarily generalized tonic-clonic (SGTC) seizure if none within 2 years of study entry; 28-day study seizure rate during double-blind phase (DBP) greater than (>)2 times maximum (Max) 28-day study seizure rate during baseline phase (BLP); 2-day study seizure rate during DBP >2 times Max 2-day study seizure rate during BLP; or unacceptable clinically significant increase in frequency/intensity of seizure activity. Determined as exit rate:(1-Kaplan-Meier [KM] product limit estimate for survival function) * 100%


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants in the Pregabalin 150 mg/Day Treatment Group Discontinuing the Study Due to at Least 1 Pre-Defined Seizure Exit Criteria [ Time Frame: Week 2 up to Week 18 ]
    Participants who discontinued due to: episode of SE; SGTC seizure if none within 2 years of study entry; 28-day study seizure rate during DBP >2 times Max 28-day study seizure rate during BLP; 2-day study seizure rate during DBP >2 times Max 2-day study seizure rate during BLP; or unacceptable clinically significant increase in frequency/intensity of seizure activity. Determined as exit rate, defined as (1-KM product limit estimate for survival function) * 100%

  2. Percentage of Participants Completing 20 Weeks of Double-Blind Treatment [ Time Frame: Randomization up to Week 20 ]
  3. Percentage of Participants Who Met Protocol-Specified Exit Events [ Time Frame: Week 2 up to Week 18 ]
    Percentage of participants experiencing any of the following (could have had more than 1): 1) episode of SE; 2) SGTC seizure if none had been experienced within 2 years of study entry; 3) 28-day study seizure rate during DBP >2 times the Max 28-day study seizure rate during BLP; 4) 2-day study seizure rate during the DBP >2 times the Max 2-day study seizure rate during BLP; or 5) unacceptable clinically significant increase in frequency/intensity of seizure activity

  4. Mean Time on Pregabalin Monotherapy [ Time Frame: Week 2 to Week 20 ]
  5. Percentage of Seizure-Free Participants by Study Phase [ Time Frame: Day 1 up to Day 140 ]
    Percentage of participants who were seizure-free during the last 28 days on double-blind study medication (monotherapy phase, Days 112-140), during the monotherapy portion of the double-blind treatment phase (Days 56-140), and during all of the double-blind treatment phase (Days 1-140)

  6. Pregabalin Population Pharmacokinetics (PK) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 20 weeks ]
    Data for this Outcome Measure are not reported here because the analysis population includes participants who were not enrolled in this study. ClinicalTrials.gov is designed for reporting results from only those participants who were enrolled in the study and described in the Participant Flow and Baseline Characteristics modules.

  7. Pregabalin Exposure-Response Analysis [ Time Frame: Day 126 ]
    Percentage of participants predicted to exit the study due to any seizure exit criteria at Day 126. The exit rate at Day 126 was predicted using the final model (log normal distribution with respect to treatment group) and the parameter estimates.
