Pediatric Epilepsy Study in Subjects 1-24 Months - Full Text View

Sponsored by:	GlaxoSmithKline
Information provided by:	GlaxoSmithKline
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00044278

Purpose

This study will evaluate the long-term safety of LAMICTAL(lamotrigine)in subjects with partial seizures previously enrolled in protocol LAM20006 and in subjects 1-24 months of age who have never received LAMICTAL(LAMICTAL-naive). For LAMICTAL-naive subjects, LAMICTAL will be added to the subject's current epilepsy medications.

Study Type:	Interventional
Study Design:	Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title:	An Open-Label, Uncontrolled, Long-Term Study to Assess the Safety of LAMICTAL in Pediatric Subjects Previously Enrolled in Protocol LAM20006 and In LAMICTAL-Naive Subjects (1-24 Months of Age)

Further study details as provided by GlaxoSmithKline:

Primary Outcome Measures:

The long-term safety of LAMICTAL will be assessed by adverse events, ECGs, vital signs,and laboratory tests. [ Time Frame: 43 Months ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Effectiveness will be assessed by percent change from baseline in seizure frequency over the course of treatment. Investigators global evaluation of subjects status; standard pharmacokinetics. [ Time Frame: 43 Months ]
