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 was to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of LCM syrup in children ages from 1 month to 17 years with uncontrolled partial seizures when added to 1 to 3 other antiepileptic drugs (AEDs).

Detailed Description

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

Six subjects aged 5-11 (Cohort 1) were initially enrolled at the 8 mg/kg/day dose level. Upon completion of the study for these subjects, pharmacokinetic and safety data were analyzed to determine the target dose for the remaining subjects (either 8, 10 or 12 mg/kg/day). Depending on the selected target dose, four additional age-based cohorts of subjects were to be enrolled. LCM was increased 2 mg/kg/day per week until the target dose or maximum dose able to be tolerated was achieved.
