Study Details

The purpose of this study is to obtain long-term safety and tolerability information on carisbamate as add-on therapy for the treatment of partial onset seizures in patients with epilepsy. Seizure counts will be obtained to measure the rate of seizures for each patient during the study.

Arms

  • Experimental: 001
    placebo placebo for 1 week
  • Experimental: 002
    carisbamate 400 mg/day to 1,200 mg per day

Primary Outcome Measure

Safety will be evaluated by the monitoring of the frequency, severity, and timing of adverse events, clinical laboratory test results, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings, vital signs measurements, physical and neurologic examinations [ Time Frame: after a stable dose of Carisbamate is achieved, study visits to assess safety will be every three months for the duration of the subject's participation; subjects will also maintain a seizure count diary ]
