PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term (up to 5 years exposure) safety and efficacy of lacosamide as adjunctive therapy in patients with uncontrolled partial-onset seizures taking one to three concomitant antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in open-label extension trial SP756 (NCT00522275).
METHODS: Patients who completed the double-blind trial SP754 (NCT00136019) were eligible to participate in this open-label extension trial (SP756). At the conclusion of trial SP754, patients had transitioned to lacosamide 200 mg/day. Subsequent dosage adjustments of lacosamide (100-800 mg/day) and/or concomitant AEDs were allowed to optimize tolerability and seizure reduction. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), vital signs, body weight, clinical laboratory data, electrocardiography studies, and seizure frequency were evaluated.
KEY FINDINGS: A total of 308 patients received open-label lacosamide and 138 patients (44.8%) completed the long-term trial. The median modal dose (defined as the daily lacosamide dose a patient received for the longest duration during the treatment period) was 500 mg/day. The percentages of patients with lacosamide exposure >1, >2, >3, or >4 years were 75%, 63%, 54%, and 29%, respectively. Primary reasons for discontinuation were lack of efficacy (26%) and adverse events (11%). Common TEAEs (≥15%) were dizziness, headache, contusion, nausea, convulsion, nasopharyngitis, fall, vomiting, and diplopia. TEAEs that led to discontinuation in ≥1.0% of patients were dizziness (1.6%) and convulsion (1.0%). The median percent reductions from baseline of trial SP754 in 28-day seizure frequency were 53.4%, 55.2%, 58.1%, and 62.5%, respectively, for 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-year completers. The ≥50% responder rates were 52.8%, 56.5%, 58.7%, and 62.5% for 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-year completers, respectively. Seven of eight patients on lacosamide monotherapy for ≥12 months were deemed 50% responders. Of patients exposed to lacosamide ≥2 years, 3.1% remained seizure-free for a period ≥2 years.
SIGNIFICANCE: Long-term (up to 5 years) lacosamide treatment was generally well tolerated. The safety profile of lacosamide observed in this trial is consistent with that established in previous double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. Although the open-label trial design limits the analysis of efficacy, long-term reduction in seizure frequency and maintenance of efficacy was observed.
