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 long-term safety and tolerability of brivaracetam.

Detailed Description

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

EP0156 is designed to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of BRV in pediatric study participants with epilepsy who participated in the neonatal study N01349 \[NCG03325439\] and/or have participated in the open-label, long-term, follow-up pediatric study N01266 \[NCT01364597\]. EP0156 will also assess the long-term safety and tolerability of BRV in Japanese pediatric study participants with partial-onset seizures who will be directly enrolled into the study in Japan. Pharmacokinetic data will also be evaluated in Japanese study participants.
