Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Non-Randomized, Single Blind, Placebo Control, Single Group Assignment
Official Title: A Placebo-Controlled, Single-Blind, Multi-Center Study to Explore the Photoparoxysmal Response in Photosensitive Epileptic Subjects After One Single Oral Dose of Brivaracetam in Capsules.

Further study details as provided by UCB:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Identify lowest single oral dose producing maximal decrease or suppression of intermittent photic stimulation (IPS)photoparoxysmal response (PPR) in photosensitive epileptic subjects pre-dose
  • post placebo during 24h and post brivaracetam for up to 72 h

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Assess relationship between plasma concentrations and changes in photosensitivity frequency range, time of onset and duration of suppressing effect
  • Safety
