Study Summary

The objective of this historical-controlled trial is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of conversion to Lacosamide monotherapy in subjects with Partial-onset Seizures who are withdrawn from 1 to 2 marketed antiepileptic drugs.

Primary Outcome

Pre-defined exit criteria: 1. A 2-fold or greater increase in average monthly (28-day) partial seizure frequency (motor and non-motor) compared to average monthly partial seizure frequency (motor and non-motor) during the Baseline Phase 2. A 2-fold or greater increase in consecutive 2-day partial seizure frequency (motor and non-motor) versus the highest consecutive 2-day partial seizure frequency (motor and non-motor) that occurred during the Baseline Phase. Note: if the highest consecutiv
