Trial to Assess Lacosamide as the First add-on Anti-epileptic Drug Treatment in Patients With Partial-onset Seizures
An Open-Label, Multicenter, Multinational Study of Lacosamide as First Add-On Anti-epileptic Drug (AED) Treatment in Subjects With Partial-Onset Seizures

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral lacosamide as first add on treatment in subjects with uncontrolled partial-onset seizures after prior treatment with a monotherapy antiepileptic drug (AED) regimen compared to subjects who have received treatment with at least 2 AEDs.

The study consists of a 1-week Screening Phase, a 30-week Treatment Phase (consisting of a 6-week Titration Phase and a 24-week Maintenance Phase), and a 3-week Taper/Safety Follow-Up Phase.
