Study Groups

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

BTRE patients

Patients with brain tumor-related epilepsy (BTRE) routinely treated with lacosamide as add on to one or two baseline anti-epileptic drugs.

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patient has never been treated with lacosamide (LCM) prior to this non-interventional study (NIS) or treatment with LCM for the first time started no earlier than 7 days prior to enrollment in this NIS
* The decision by the treating physician to prescribe LCM falls within current standard clinical practice, and the treatment decision is clearly separated from the decision to consider inclusion of the patient in the NIS
* A Patient Data Consent form is signed and dated by the patient and/or by the parent(s) or legal representative
* Patient is a male or female ≥ 16 years of age
* Patient must have a diagnosis of brain tumor-related epilepsy (BTRE) secondary to low-grade glioma (World Health Organization Grade 1 to 2 at time of enrollment)
* Patient has a retrospective Baseline seizure frequency of at least 1 partial-onset seizure in the 8 weeks prior to Visit 1 (enrollment/ Baseline visit)
* Patient does not have a previous diagnosis of epilepsy before tumor onset
* Patient does not have brain metastases
* Patient has a Karnofsky performance status scale index ≥ 60 %
* Patient is currently taking only 1-2 Baseline anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) for epilepsy, other than LCM
* Patient has received a maximum of 4 different lifetime AEDs ever before entering the NIS
