This study is to evaluate the efficacy of YKP3089 in reducing seizure frequency when compared to baseline in subjects with partial onset seizures not fully controlled despite their treatment with 1 to 3 concomitant anti-epileptic drugs.
Also to evaluate the safety and tolerability of YKP3089.

- Percent Change From Baseline in Partial-onset Seizure Frequency Per 28 Days [ Time Frame: assessed per 28 days during 12 week period; change from baseline and 12 weeks reported ]Percent change in 28-day frequency of simple partial motor, and/or complex partial, and/or secondarily generalized tonic-clonic seizures during the 12 week treatment period relative to baseline
- 50% Responder Rate [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]Greater than or equal to 50% reduction in 28-day frequency of simple partial motor, and/or complex partial, and/or secondarily generalized tonic-clonic seizures during the 12 week treatment period relative to baseline.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 65 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of treatment resistant partial epilepsy;
- History of epilepsy for at least 2 years;
- Have at least 3 simple partial with motor component, complex partial or secondarily generalized seizures per month with no consecutive 21 day seizure free period.
-
Currently treated on a stable dose of :
- 1 - 3 AED's for at least 12 weeks prior to randomization.
- VNS will not be counted as AED; however the parameters must remain stable for at least 4 weeks prior to baseline.
- Benzodiazepines taken at least once per week for epilepsy, or for anxiety or sleep disorder, will be counted as 1 AED. Therefore only a maximum of two additional approved AEDs will be allowed.
Exclusion Criteria:
- A history of alcoholism, drug abuse, or drug addiction within the past 2 years.
- Subject has had status epilepticus within past 1 year.
- Subject has had greater than 2 allergic reactions to an AED or one serious hypersensitivity reaction to an AED.
- Subjects taking felbamate with less than 18 months continuous exposure.
- Subjects receiving phenytoin, phenobarbitone or metabolites of these drugs.
- No active suicidal plan/intent or active suicidal thoughts in the past 6 months.
- History of suicide attempt in the last 2 years; not more than 1 lifetime suicide attempt.
- Subject meets criteria for current major depressive episode (within 6 months).
- Use of intermittent rescue benzodiazepines more than once/month (1-2 doses in a 24-hour period is considered one rescue) in the one month period prior to Visit 1.
