Brief Summary

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

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of brivaracetam (BRV) administered intravenously (iv) in subjects \>= 1 month to \< 16 years of age with epilepsy.

Study Groups

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

Brivaracetam

Brivaracetam will be administered to various age-based cohorts. Cohort 1: Subjects \>=12 to \<16 years; Cohort 2: Subjects \>=6 to \<12 years; Cohort 3: Subjects \>=2 to \<6 years; Cohort 4: Subjects 1 month to \<2 years. Enrollment will be sequential by descending age beginning with Cohort 1. For each cohort, the first half will receive a 15-minute iv infusion. The Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will then review safety and, as available, PK data to make the following recommendations: the progression of the current cohort (up to 2-minute iv bolus infusion) and progression to initiate enrollment in the preceding cohort.

* Weight \>= 3 kg (6.6 lbs)
* Diagnosis of epilepsy
* Acceptable candidate for venipuncture and intravenous (iv) infusion
* Treatment with \>=1 anti epileptic drug (AED; including BRV) without a change of dose regimen for at least 7 days prior to Screening
* No treatment with vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), OR the subject is being treated with VNS and the settings have been constant for \>=7 days prior to Screening
* For female subjects: not of childbearing potential, OR of childbearing potential and not sexually active/negative pregnancy test, OR of childbearing potential and sexually active/negative pregnancy test/uses medically acceptable contraceptive methods

Exclusion Criteria

* Subject has previously received iv Brivaracetam (BRV) in this study
* Subject is being treated with BRV at a dose \>5mg/kg/day (rounded) or \>200mg/day for subjects with body weights \>40kg
* Subject requires or is likely to require a change in concomitant antiepileptic drug(s) (AED\[s\]), dose of concomitant AED(s), or formulation of AED(s) during the 7 days prior to the intravenous (iv) pharmacokinetic (PK) Period
* Subject is likely, in the opinion of the Investigator, to require rescue medication during the Initiating Oral BRV (IOB) Treatment or iv PK Periods
* Subject has experienced generalized convulsive status epilepticus in the 28 days prior to Screening or during the Screening Period
