E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to detect a dose-response of BGG492 (administered orally TID) as measured by change in seizure frequency from the 4-week baseline period (Weeks -4 to -1) to the 4-week double-blind maintenance period (Weeks 7 to 10). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The key secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of BGG492 (100mg, 150 mg) administered orally TID compared to placebo assessed as change in seizure frequency from the 4-week baseline period (Weeks -4 to -1) to the 4-week double-blind maintenance period (Weeks 7 to 10). |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Key inclusion criteria: - male or female - weight sup or equal to 50kg - have a diagnosis of epilepsy ( more than 2 years prior to screening) with partial seizures with or without secondarily generalizations seizures - have uncontrolled partial seizures - have at least 4 partial seizures - have no 28-day seizure-free period during the 8 weeks preceding randomization - must be receiving stable treatment with 1 or a maximum of 2 AEDs |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Key exclusion criteria:Any of the following seizure conditions: - Presence of only non-motor simple partial seizures - Pschogenic seizures - Absences and/or myoclonic seizures e.g. in the context of primarily generalized epilepsy - Previous history of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome - Status epilepticus or seizure clusters where individual seizures cannot be counted according to the judgement of the investigator occuring within 52 weeks prior to randomization. |
|
E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
primary efficacy assessment: seizure counts (partial seizures only)during the 28-day baseline period and the week 7-10 maintenance period in comparison to placebo.
