Trial Outcomes & Findings for Trial to Assess Lacosamide as the First add-on Anti-epileptic Drug Treatment in Patients With Partial-onset Seizures (NCT NCT00955357)

NCT ID: NCT00955357

Last Updated: 2018-07-17

Results Overview

A subject will be considered seizure-free if the subject completes the first 12 weeks of the Maintenance Phase, reports zero seizures, and has no seizure data missing for any day during the period of time. This study was intended to assess the efficacy outcomes in the First Add-On Group and the Later Add-On Group individually relative to historical data. Comparisons between the 2 groups should not be attempted and conclusions should not be drawn.

Participant Flow

An estimated 656 subjects were to be enrolled in the study at approximately 130 sites in the US, Europe, and the rest of the world.

Overall 461 subjects were enrolled. The Participant Flow refers to the Safety Set (SS) which was defined as all enrolled subjects who took at least 1 dose of Lacosamide. Reasons for discontinuation were only calculated for the SS. 456 subjects were included in the Safety Set.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From Week 7 (end of Week 6) to end of Week 18

Population: The Analysis Population refers to the Completer Set (CS) which includes all subjects who were enrolled, received at least one dose of Lacosamide and completed the first 12 weeks of the Maintenance Phase.

A subject will be considered seizure-free if the subject completes the first 12 weeks of the Maintenance Phase, reports zero seizures, and has no seizure data missing for any day during the period of time. This study was intended to assess the efficacy outcomes in the First Add-On Group and the Later Add-On Group individually relative to historical data. Comparisons between the 2 groups should not be attempted and conclusions should not be drawn.
