Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability, safety and efficacy of topiramate in infants with refractory partial onset seizures (POS).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a world wide, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the tolerability, safety and efficacy of 3 target doses (5, 15, and 25 mg/kg/day) of topiramate compared with placebo as an adjunct therapy in infants with refractory partial onset seizures (POS). There are 4 phases to the study, a screening phase of 3 days, a double blind treatment phase of 20 days, a one year open label extension phase and a posttreatment (taper and withdrawal) phase. The oral liquid formulation will also be assessed during this study, as it is investigational, unlike the marketed sprinkle formulation. 5, 15, 25 mg/kg/day of topriramate sprinkle and oral liquid formulation will be administered during the four phases of the study.
