Study Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of lacosamide (LCM) versus an Active Comparator chosen based on standard of care (StOC) in severe and nonsevere seizure burden (defined as total minutes of electroencephalographic neonatal seizures (ENS) per hour) in neonates with seizures that are not adequately controlled with previous anti-epileptic drug (AED) treatment.

Primary Outcome

Baseline seizure burden was defined as seizure burden measured on the continuous video-EEG (total electroencephalographic neonatal seizures (ENS) in minutes per hour) during a period of up to 2 hours immediately prior to the first administration of study drug. An ENS was defined as an EEG seizure lasting for at least 10 seconds on video-EEG. The seizure burden in the Evaluation Period was calculated as the total duration of seizures between 1 and 3 hours after the first dose of study medication

Interventions
