An Open-Label Extension Study to Assess the Safety and Seizure Frequency Associated With Long-Term Oral Lacosamide for Uncontrolled Primary Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures in Subjects With Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Lacosamide for Epilepsy. Completed, enrolled 39 participants across 19 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose is to obtain data on the safety and seizure frequency associated with long-term oral Lacosamide for uncontrolled primary generalized tonic-clonic (PGTC) seizures in subjects with idiopathic generalized Epilepsy. Additionally, to allow subjects who have completed SP0961 (NCT01118949) to continue to receive Lacosamide.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Lacosamide was supplied as 50 mg and 100 mg tablets. The starting Lacosamide dose was the same dose reached by a subject at the end of SP0961 (NCT01118949). At the beginning of SP0962, the dose may be maintained, or increased or decreased by 100 mg /day, as deemed clinically appropriate to optimize tolerability and seizure reduction. Dose increases should be no faster than 100 mg/ day per week up to a maximum of 800 mg/ day. Lacosamide was administered twice daily (approx. 12 hours apart, once in the morning and once in the evening) in 2 equally divided doses for up to a 56-week Treatment Phase. The Treatment Phase was followed by a 5-week End-of-Study Phase, during which subjects had to be tapered off Lacosamide at a recommended decrease rate of 200 mg/ day per week.
