6. Subject has a diagnosis of epilepsy with partial-onset seizures.

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

1. Subject is receiving any investigational drugs or using any experimental devices in addition to LCM.
2. Subject meets a mandatory withdrawal criterion (ie, MUST withdraw criterion) for SP0967 or SP0969, or is experiencing an ongoing serious AE (SAE).
3. For subjects ≥6 years of age, subject has a lifetime history of suicide attempt (including an actual attempt, interrupted attempt, or aborted attempt), or has suicidal ideation in the past 6 months as indicated by a positive response (“Yes”) to either Question 4 or Question 5 of the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) at Visit 1.
5. Female subject who is pregnant or nursing, and/or a female subject of childbearing potential who is not surgically sterile or does not practice 1 highly effective method of contraception (according to the International Council for Harmonisation [ICH] guidance defined as those that result in a failure rate <1% per year when used consistently and correctly), unless sexually abstinent, for the duration of the study. Female subject of childbearing potential taking enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (EI-AEDs: carbamazepine, phenytoin, barbiturates, primidone, topiramate, oxcarbazepine) who is not surgically sterile or does not practice 1 highly effective method of contraception according to the World Health Organization recommendation (ie, depot medroxyprogesterone acetate, norethisterone enantate, intrauterine devices, combined injectables, and progestogen implants) with administration of EI-AEDs OR does not practice 2 combined methods of contraception (ie, combined hormonal contraception plus barrier method with spermicidal agent), unless sexually abstinent, for the duration of the study.
6. Subject has >2x the upper limit of normal (ULN) of any of the following: ALT, AST, ALP, or >ULN total bilirubin (≥1.5xULN total bilirubin if known Gilbert’s syndrome). If subject has elevations only in total bilirubin that are >ULN and <1.5xULN, fractionate bilirubin to identify possible undiagnosed Gilbert’s syndrome (ie, direct bilirubin <35%). For enrolled subjects with a Baseline result >ULN for ALT, AST, ALP, or total bilirubin, a Baseline diagnosis and/or the cause of any clinically meaningful elevation must be understood and recorded in the electronic Case Report form (eCRF).
