Purpose
This is a multicentre, long-term, open-label extension (OLE) study to assess the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of retigabine immediate-release (IR) as adjunctive therapy in adult Asian subjects with drug-resistant partial-onset seizures (POS).

- AUA Symptom Index [ Time Frame: Over 4 years. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]The investigator will complete an American Urological Association (AUA) Symptom Index, a 7-item Likert-scored scale describing urinary bladder function. Change from Baseline in AUA Symptom Index will be calculated.
- PVR bladder ultrasound volumes [ Time Frame: Over 4 years. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]The post-void residual (PVR) bladder ultrasound volumes will be performed. Change from Baseline in PVR bladder ultrasound volumes will be calculated.
- Assessment of suicidality via use of the C-SSRSAssessment of suicidality via use of the C-SSRS [ Time Frame: Over 4 years. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Suicidality will be assessed based on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS).
- Time to premature study discontinuation [ Time Frame: Over 4 years. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Safety and tolerability as assessed by recording the time to premature study discontinuation.
- Proportion of responders [ Time Frame: Over 4 years. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Proportion of responders, defined as subjects with>=50% reduction in 28 day total partial-onset seizures (POS) frequency from Baseline (overall and by duration of exposure.
- The 28 day total POS frequency [ Time Frame: Over 4 years. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Percent change from Baseline in 28 day total POS frequency (overall and by duration of exposure) will be calculated.

Experimental: Retigabine IR
All subjects will initially receive a starting dose of retigabine IR at 900 mg/day and after the first week of the OLE study, the dose of retigabine IR may be increased or decreased in increments or decrements of decrements of 150 mg/day on weekly basis based on efficacy and tolerability. The overall daily dose of retigabine IR must be maintained between a minimum dose of 600 mg/day and a maximum dose of 1200 mg/day.
|
Drug: Retigabine IR
Retigabine IR tablets will be available in 5 strengths: 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, and 400 mg.

Detailed Description:
Subjects who successfully complete the Maintenance Phase of Study RTG114855 (parent study) and are expected to benefit from therapy with retigabine IR will be eligible for this OLE study. The study will consist of Screening (1 day), Open-Label Treatment and Follow-up (3 weeks) phase. Subjects will initially receive a starting dose of retigabine IR at 900 milligram (mg)/day and the same concurrent antiepileptic drug (AED) regimen that they were receiving at the final visit of the Transition Phase of the parent study. After the first week of the OLE study, the dose of retigabine IR may be adjusted to between 600 and 1200 mg/day, with dose adjustments in increments or decrements of 150 mg/week, based on efficacy and tolerability. In addition, the dose and number of concurrent AEDs may also be adjusted to meet each individual subject's needs. The efficacy and safety issues will be assessed throughout the study; subjects will be instructed to call the investigator if they experience any efficacy or tolerability issues between the study visits. As the duration of the study will be determined based on the following four conditions: 1) regulatory approval and commercialisation of retigabine IR; 2) retigabine IR is not approved by the regulatory authorities; 3) the study is terminated by the Sponsor for reasons including, but not limited to, safety issues; or 4) the subject is withdrawn or withdraws consent, 4 years will be considered as a guide to the duration of the study. The safety and tolerability endpoints are incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs); proportion of subjects with AEs leading to discontinuation; change from Baseline in vital sign measurements and weight; change from Baseline in electrocardiogram parameters; change from Baseline in haematology, chemistry, and urinalysis parameters; changes from Baseline in American Urological Association Symptom Index and post-void residual bladder ultrasound volumes; and summary of the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale. Efficacy will be assessed by calculating the percent change from Baseline (parent study) in 28-day total POS frequency for the entire open-label Treatment Phase of this OLE study. This will also be calculated based on duration of exposure. Responder rate (defined as a >/=50% reduction from Baseline in 28-day total POS frequency) will also be summarised for the entire open-label Treatment Phase and by duration of exposure.
Eligibility| Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |

Inclusion Criteria:
- The subject has successfully completed the Maintenance Phase and Transition Phase of Study RTG114855.
- The subject is expected, in the opinion of the investigator, to benefit from participation in this OLE study.
- The subject or the caregiver is able and willing to maintain an accurate and complete written daily seizure calendar for the entire duration of the study.
- The subject has given written informed consent, or has a legally authorized representative who has given written informed consent, prior to the performance of any study assessments.
- A female subject is eligible to enrol and participate in the study if she is of: nonchildbearing potential (i.e., physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant, including any female who is premenarchal or postmenopausal), premenopausal females with a documented (medical report verification) hysterectomy with or without oophorectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy when reproductive status has been confirmed by hormone level assessment, and postmenopausal females defined as being amenorrhoeic for >1 year with an appropriate clinical profile (e.g., age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms). However, if indicated, this should be confirmed by oestradiol and follicle stimulating hormone levels consistent with menopause (according to local laboratory ranges). Women who have not been confirmed as postmenopausal should be advised to use contraception.
- Childbearing potential, has a negative urine or serum pregnancy test at Screening.
- Is not pregnant or lactating or planning to become pregnant during the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Has met any of the withdrawal criteria in the parent study (RTG114855) or has, in the opinion of the investigator, clinically significant abnormal laboratory or ECG findings that preclude entry into RTG114873.
- Is planning to begin treatment with an investigational drug (other than retigabine) and/or an experimental device for the treatment of epilepsy or any other medical condition.
- Has any medical condition that, in the investigator's judgement, is considered to be clinically significant and could potentially affect subject safety or study outcome, including but not limited to clinically significant cardiac, renal, or hepatic condition; or a condition that affects the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs.
- Is unwilling or unable to follow the study procedures or reporting of AEs.
- Has active suicidal plan/intent or has had active suicidal thoughts in the past 6 months or has history of suicide attempt in the last 2 years or >1 lifetime suicide attempt.
