Brief Summary

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

This trial, evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of brivaracetam, will give subjects suffering from epilepsy, who may have benefited from brivaracetam, the opportunity to continue the treatment. The study will also evaluate the maintenance of efficacy over time of brivaracetam for subjects with partial onset seizures (POS)/primary generalized seizures (PGS).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Brivaracetam

Flexible dosing, can up and down titrate as needed.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Brivaracetam (ucb 34714)

Intervention Type DRUG

10 mg and 25 mg tablets. Flexible dosing up to 200 mg/day, twice daily. For each subject, the study will last from study entry until either regulatory approval of brivaracetam has been granted by any Health Authority in an indication of adjunctive treatment of partial onset seizures; or until the Sponsor decides to close the study; until a managed access program, named patient program, compassionate use program, or similar type of access program is established as allowed per country-specific requirements in addition to legal and regulatory guidelines, or until the investigational product development is stopped by the Sponsor.

* Subjects with ULD: inpatients or outpatients with epilepsy who were treated with brivaracetam in previous studies / programs which allow access to the present study
* Subjects for whom the Investigator believes a reasonable benefit from the long-term administration of brivaracetam may be expected

Exclusion Criteria

* Severe medical, neurological and psychiatric disorders, or laboratory values which may have an impact on the safety of the subject
