NCT ID: NCT00516139

Last Updated: 2017-01-18

Results Overview

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or causes its prolongation, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is an important medical event. A complete list of all SAEs and AEs experienced in the study can be found in the SAE/AE section.

Timeframe: Weeks 4, 7, 11, 15, 20, 24, and 28

Population: Safety Population. Participants with missing data were not analyzed. Not all participants received all doses at each blood draw; therefore, participants were only analyzed for the dose received at blood draw.

The blood samples were collected at the specified study visits; however, serum LTG concentrations were summarized by dose regimen, not by study week. The serum was assayed for LTG using an approved method under the management of Worldwide Bioanalysis, GlaxoSmithKline.

LTG-XR tablets (25, 50, 100, and 200 milligrams \[mg\]) administered once a day (OD) in the 7-week (w) Dose-Escalation Phase and titrated to target doses of 300, 500, or 200 mg/day for participants (par.) depending on their concomitant antiepileptic drug (AED), followed by an 8-w Adjunctive Maintenance Phase in which LTG-XR tablets were administered OD at the target dose. Par. on a single concomitant AED who converted to LTG-XR monotherapy (based on investigator's judgment) entered the 5-w Conversion Phase, followed by an 8-w Monotherapy Phase, whereas par. who did not transition to monotherapy entered the 13-w Adjunctive Optimization Phase. At the end of the study, par. entered the 2- to 5-w Taper/Follow-Up Phase, in which par. either switched to commercial LTG (received same total daily dose of commercial LTG in 2 divided doses \[BID\]) or did not switch to commercial LTG (current dose was reduced by approximately one-fourth per week) with a final visit 2 weeks after last LTG-XR dose.
LTG-XR + EIAEDs
LTG-XR tablets (25, 50, 100, and 200 mg) were administered OD in the 7-w Dose-Escalation Phase and titrated to target doses of 300, 500, or 200 mg/day for participants (par.) depending on their concomitant AED (included EIAEDs), followed by an 8-w Adjunctive Maintenance Phase in which LTG-XR tablets were administered OD at the target dose. Par. on a single concomitant AED who converted to LTG-XR monotherapy (based on investigator's judgment) entered the 5-w Conversion Phase, followed by an 8-w Monotherapy Phase, whereas par. who did not transition to monotherapy entered the 13-w Adjunctive Optimization Phase. At the end of the study, par. entered the 2- to 5-w Taper/Follow-Up Phase, in which par. either switched to commercial LTG (received same total daily dose of commercial LTG in 2 divided doses \[BID\]) or did not switch to commercial LTG (current dose was reduced by approximately one-fourth per week) with a final visit 2 weeks after last LTG-XR dose.
LTG-XR + VPA
LTG-XR tablets (25, 50, 100, and 200 mg) were administered OD in the 7-w Dose-Escalation Phase and titrated to target doses of 300, 500, or 200 mg/day for participants (par.) depending on their concomitant AED (included VPA), followed by an 8-w Adjunctive Maintenance Phase: LTG-XR tablets administered OD at the target dose. Par. on a single concomitant AED who converted to LTG-XR monotherapy (based on investigator's judgment) entered the 5-w Conversion Phase, followed by an 8-w Monotherapy Phase, whereas par. who did not transition to monotherapy entered the 13-w Adjunctive Optimization Phase. At the end of the study, par. entered the 2- to 5-w Taper/Follow-Up Phase, in which par. either switched to commercial LTG (received same total daily dose of commercial LTG in 2 divided doses \[BID\]) or did not switch to commercial LTG (current dose was reduced by approximately one-fourth per week) with a final visit 2 weeks after last LTG-XR dose.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Weeks 4, 7, 11, 15, 20, 24, and 28

Population: Safety Population. Participants with missing data were not analyzed. Not all participants received all doses at each blood draw; therefore, participants were only analyzed for the dose received at blood draw.

Individual serum LTG concentration data were subjected to population pharmacokinetic methodologies based on the concomitant AED groups. KA is defined as the rate at which a drug enters the body after administration. Serum LTG concentration-time data files incorporating, where appropriate, records of LTG administration, participant demography, and concomitant medication were supplied to CPDM by Clinical Data Management as NONMEM compatible .csv files.
