Brief Summary

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

Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are the main treatment for epilepsy; however, only a limited number of AEDs are approved for use as monotherapy. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Brivaracetam (BRV) in the conversion of partial onset seizure patients from combination treatment to monotherapy
