Brief Summary

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

To evaluate if a flexible dose escalation of lacosamide, up to the maximum approved dose of 400 mg/day, or to a clinically effective lower dose for an individual patient, improves the tolerability and safety of lacosamide (200 mg to 400 mg/d) as add-on treatment for patients with partial onset epilepsy.
