Brief Summary:
The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the safety of intravenous (iv) lacosamide delivered in a single dose followed by 6.5 days of oral lacosamide treatment in subjects with partial-onset seizures.
Detailed Description:
This multicenter, open-label trial examined safety and tolerability of rapid initiation of adjunctive lacosamide via a single intravenous loading dose followed by oral maintenance treatment in subjects 16 - 60 years of age with partial-onset seizures. Three consecutive 25-subject cohorts were given a progressively increasing dose of lacosamide (200, 300, 400 mg) administered as a single 15-minute intravenous (iv) loading dose followed by the equivalent daily dose administered orally twice daily for 6.5 days with the first oral dose 12 hours after the iv dose. A fourth cohort of 25 subjects repeated the 300 mg dose to provide safety data on a total of 50 subjects at the highest well-tolerated dose.
