Recruitment Details
| Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations |
|---|
| Planned to enroll approximately 100 subjects with partial seizures at up to 10 study centers in Greece. |
Pre-Assignment Details
| Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment |
|---|
| Single arm open label study without randomization. The study included the following 3 main phases with a total study treatment duration of up to 21 weeks: Treatment dose-optimization phase = 9 weeks. Treatment observation phase = 12 weeks. |
Reporting Groups
| Description | |
|---|---|
| Pregabalin | Pregabalin treatment, given as 2 divided doses, was initiated at a dose of 150 mg/day (75 mg BID). Then, based on individual subject response and tolerability, the dosage could have been increased to 300 mg/day after 1 week. The dosage could have been incrementally increased further to 600 mg/day after an additional week. After 9 weeks of treatment, the optimal dose of pregabalin was to be maintained for 3 months (12 week treatment observation period). |

| Measure Type | Primary |
|---|---|
| Measure Title | Percentage Change in Partial Seizure Frequency (All Partial Seizure Types) Between Baseline and the 12 Week Observation Period |
| Measure Description | Percentage change from baseline=[(12 week treatment observation period seizure frequency rate minus 8 week baseline period seizure frequency rate)/ 8 week baseline period seizure frequency rate] x 100. Seizure frequencies per 28-day period: = (total # of partial seizures in period x 28 / (total # of days in period). |
| Time Frame | 8 week baseline period & 12 week treatment observation period |
| Safety Issue | No |
Population Description
| Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate. |
|---|
| Full analysis set (FAS)/intent-to-treat (ITT) population (all subjects who received at least 1 dose of study treatment & had a minimum of 2 partial seizures during baseline period). Seizure rate was calculated on last observation carried forward (LOCF) basis, whereby data from last 84 days prior to last dose was used to calculate seizure frequency. |

| Time Frame | End of 21-week treatment |
| Safety Issue | No |
Population Description
| Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate. |

Reporting Groups
| Description | |
|---|---|
| Pregabalin | Pregabalin treatment, given as 2 divided doses, was initiated at a dose of 150 mg/day (75 mg BID). Then, based on individual subject response and tolerability, the dosage could have been increased to 300 mg/day after 1 week. The dosage could have been incrementally increased further to 600 mg/day after an additional week. After 9 weeks of treatment, the optimal dose of pregabalin was to be maintained for 3 months (12 week treatment observation period). |
