A Clinical Study to Investigate the Long-term Use of Lacosamide as Monotherapy in Subjects Who Completed Study SP0994

May 10, 2023 updated by: UCB Biopharma S.P.R.L.

A Multicenter, Open-label, Follow-up Study to Assess the Long-term Use of Lacosamide (Flexible Dose From 200 to 600 mg/Day) Used as Monotherapy in Subjects Who Completed SP0994 and Received Lacosamide Monotherapy Treatment

Study is conducted to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of lacosamide (LCM) in patients receiving LCM in SP0994 [NCT01465997]. The study will enable collection of additional monotherapy safety data, and will facilitate access to treatment until commercial availability for monotherapy use.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Lacosamide

Lacosamide (LCM) will be administered orally twice daily from 200 mg/day to 600 mg/day (at approximately 12 hour intervals in the morning and in the evening) in 2 divided doses. Medication must not be chewed and must be swallowed with a sufficient amount of fluid. The investigator may maintain the subject's LCM dose, decrease the dose in decrements of 100 mg/day per week to a minimum dose of LCM 200 mg/day, or increase the dose in increments of 100 mg/day per week up to a maximum dose of LCM 600 mg/day.

Subjects stopping LCM should be tapered off LCM at recommended decreasing steps of 200 mg/day/week. A slower taper (eg, 100 mg/day/week) or faster taper is permitted, if medically necessary; however, the maximum duration of tapering should not exceed 6 weeks.

  • Pharmaceutical Form: Oral tablets
  • Concentration: 50 mg
  • Route of Administration: Oral administration
Other Names:
  • Vimpat
  • LCM
  • SPM927

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Experiencing Any Adverse Events (AEs) Reported Spontaneously by the Subject and/or Caregiver or Observed by Investigator
Time Frame: From Visit 1 (Week 0) to Final Visit (up to Week 158)
An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study medication, whether or not considered related to the study medication. An AE could, therefore, be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study medication.
From Visit 1 (Week 0) to Final Visit (up to Week 158)
Percentage of Participants That Withdrew Due to Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: From Visit 1 (Week 0) to Final Visit (up to Week 158)
An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study medication, whether or not considered related to the study medication. An AE could, therefore, be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study medication.
From Visit 1 (Week 0) to Final Visit (up to Week 158)
Percentage of Participants Experiencing Any Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Reported Spontaneously by the Subject and/or Caregiver or Observed by Investigator
Time Frame: From Visit 1 (Week 0) to Final Visit (up to Week 158)

A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:

  • Results in death
  • Is life-threatening
  • Requires in patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
  • Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect
  • Is an infection that requires treatment parenteral antibiotics
  • Other important medical events which based on medical or scientific judgement may jeopardize the study participants, or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the above.
From Visit 1 (Week 0) to Final Visit (up to Week 158)
