Summary

This a phase 2 study comparing the efficacy of intravenous (IV) lacosamide (LCM) with IV fosphenytoin (fPHT) in controlling frequent nonconvulsive seizures (NCSs), the Adverse Events profile of LCM compared with fPHT when used to treat frequent NCSs, and length of stay in an intensive care unit for subjects treated with LCM versus subjects treated with fPHT. The trial will include a preacute-treatment period, an acute-treatment period, a postacute-treatment period, and a long-term follow-up period.

Conditions

  • Nonconvulsive Seizures

Interventions

DRUG

fPHT

If after initial treatment with fPHT any of the following occurs, the subject will have reached the end of the first treatment arm and will "cross over" and begin receiving the other drug, ie, the one not originally administered: the subject subsequently has another seizure within 24 hours following the 2-hour post-rebolus observation-only period; the subject does not receive a rebolus but has a seizure within 24 hours following the 2 hour post-bolus observation-only period; the subject experiences an AE that precludes further use of the first study drug. If crossover occurs, the subject will "start over" with the second drug, going through the same observation-only period, rebolusing (if necessary), and study assessments with the second drug, beginning with the Baseline assessments.
