  Purpose

Approximately 30% percent of subjects with partial seizures are refractory to treatment with single or combination antiepileptic drugs. The present study will compare the efficacy of two different dosages of pregabalin CR dosed once daily as compared to placebo, when used as adjunctive therapy in subjects requiring adjunctive therapy for partial onset epilepsy, using a randomized, parallel group design.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The primary endpoint will be the log transformed (loge) 28 day seizure rate for all partial onset seizures collected during the double blind treatment phase. [ Time Frame: Week 0 to week 14 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Evaluation for safety using adverse event data, medical history, PHQ 8, laboratory data, physical exams, vital signs, neurological exams, electrocardiograms, and suicidality assessment. [ Time Frame: Screening to Week 15 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Responder rate (proportion of subjects who have a greater than or equal to 50% reduction in partial seizure rate from baseline during the double blind treatment phase compared to the 8 week baseline (screening) seizure phase). [ Time Frame: Screening to Week 15 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • The percentage change in 28 day partial seizure rates summarized by treatment group. [ Time Frame: Screening to Week 15 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Frequency of secondary generalized tonic clonic seizures (SGTC). [ Time Frame: Screening to Week 15 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Log-transformed 28 day SGTC rate for all SGTCs collected during the double blind treatment phase. [ Time Frame: Screening to Week 15 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • SGTC responder rate. [ Time Frame: Screening to Week 15 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Changes from baseline in the anxiety and depression subscale scores of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores. [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 14 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change from baseline in Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale (MOS Sleep Scale) subscale scores. [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 14 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Global scores on the patient rated Benefit, Satisfaction, and Willingness to Continue Measure (BSW). [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 14 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
