Brief Summary:
The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of two doses of pregabalin as add-on treatment in pediatric and adult subjects with Primary Generalized Tonic-Clonic (PGTC) seizures as compared to placebo. It is hypothesized that both doses of pregabalin will demonstrated superior efficacy when compared to placebo by reducing PGTC seizure frequency and that pregabalin will be safe and well tolerated.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Study Drug Level 1 Drug: Pregabalin Dose Level 1
Pregabalin, either liquid or capsule, dosed twice daily, escalated up to a maximum of 300 mg/day beginning at Randomization to Taper Phase, then tapered down to a maximum dose of 150 mg/day during 1 week Taper Phase to End of Study/Early Termination.
Other Name: Lyrica Dose Level 1
Experimental: Study Drug Level 2 Drug: Pregabalin Dose Level 2
Pregabalin, either liquid or capsule, dosed twice daily, escalated up to a maximum of 600 mg/day beginning at Randomization to Taper Phase, then tapered down to a maximum of 150 mg/day during 1 week Taper Phase to End of Study/Early Termination.
Other Name: Lyrica Dose Level 2
Placebo Comparator: Placebo Drug: Placebo
Placebo, either liquid or capsule, dosed twice daily beginning at Randomization to End of Study/Early Termination.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Log-transformed (Log) 28-day Seizure Rate for All Primary Generalized Tonic-Clonic (PGTC) Seizures During 12-Week Double-Blind Treatment Phase [ Time Frame: Day 1 up to Week 12 ]
    All PGTC seizures experienced during treatment phase were recorded by the participants or their parents/legal guardian in a daily seizure diary. 28-day seizure rate for all PGTC seizures= ([number of seizures in the double blind treatment phase] divided by [number of days in double blind treatment phase minus {-} number of missing diary days in treatment phase])*28. For log-transformation, the quantity 1 was added to the 28-day seizure rate for all participants to account for any possible "0" seizure incidence. This resulted in final calculation as: log transformed (28-day seizure rate +1).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants With at Least 50 Percent (%) or Greater Reduction From Baseline in 28-day Primary Generalized Tonic-clonic (PGTC) Seizure Rate During the 12-Week Double-blind Treatment Phase [ Time Frame: Day 1 up to Week 12 ]
    Percentage of participants with 50% or greater reduction from baseline in 28-day seizure rate during the 12 week double blind treatment phase were reported. 28-day seizure rate for all PGTC seizures= ([number of seizures in the double blind treatment phase] divided by [number of days in double blind treatment phase minus {-} number of missing diary days in treatment phase])*28.
