Long-term safety and tolerability of lacosamide monotherapy in patients with epilepsy: Results from a multicenter, open-label trial.

The primary objective of this trial (SP1042; NCT02582866) was to assess long-term safety and tolerability of lacosamide monotherapy (200-600 mg/day) in adults with focal (partial-onset) seizures or generalized tonic-clonic seizures (without clear focal origin). This Phase III, long-term, open-label, multicenter, follow-up trial enrolled patients with epilepsy who were taking lacosamide in, and completed, the previous double-blind trial (SP0994; NCT01465997). Primary safety outcomes were treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), discontinuations due to TEAEs, and serious TEAEs.
