Clinical Study With Lyrica In Patients Suffering From Epilepsy

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Clinical study with Lyrica (pregabalin) in patients suffering from epilepsy. This drug is used as adjunctive therapy with one or more antiepileptics. Lyrica has potential to reduce seizure frequency.

Detailed Description
-----------------
- Included all adult patients with partial seizures and without contraindications according to Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC).

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Lyrica<br>Adult patients with partial seizures (type of epilepsy). Inclusion criteria according to Summary of Product Characteristics | Drug: Lyrica (pregabalin)<br>* The daily dose may range from 150mg to 600mg, administered as two single doses. The treatment should be started with 150mg daily dose (2x75mg). Depending on response and tolerability after 7 days may the dose be increased to 300mg/day (2x150mg) and after further 7 days to maximum dose 600mg/day (2x300mg)<br>|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Percentage of Participants With a 50 Percent or Greater Reduction From Baseline in 28 Day Partial Seizure Frequency | Responder rate was defined as the percentage of participants with at least a 50% reduction in 28-day partial seizure frequency from baseline during the maintenance phase (Week 4 - Week 16). The percent change in partial seizure frequency in the maintenance phase was the change from baseline in partial seizure frequency * 100, divided by the partial seizure frequency at the baseline visit. | Baseline through week 16 or early termination (ET) | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Percentage Change From Baseline in 28 Day Partial Seizure Frequency at Final Visit | The partial seizure frequency for the baseline period was the total number of partial seizures recorded for that period at Visit 0 (week 0). For each participant's final visit, the 28 day partial seizure frequency equals total number of partial seizures since the last visit * 28 divided by total number of days since the last visit. For percent change from baseline: change from baseline in partial seizure frequency*100 divided by partial seizure frequency at baseline visit. | Baseline and week 16 or ET | 
| Number of Participants With no Seizures (Partial or Other) During the Last 4 Weeks in the Study | Participants were regarded as seizure-free if no seizures (partial or other) were reported for the participant during the last 4 weeks in the study. | Week 4 through week 16 or ET | 
| Change From Baseline in Visual Analog Scale of Anxiety (VAS-A) Scores at Week 4 and Final Visit | VAS-A consists of a visual analog scale ranging from, 0 mm (no anxiety) to 100 mm (extreme anxiety). | Baseline, week 4 and week 16 or ET | 
| Number of Participants With Categorical Scores on Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) | CGI-S: 7-point clinician rated scale to assess severity of participant's current illness state; range: 1 (normal - not ill at all) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients). Higher score = more affected. | Baseline | 
| Number of Participants With Change in Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-C) From Baseline at Final Visit | The CGI-C scale measures a physician's global impression of a participant's clinical condition at final visit in terms of change relative to the start of treatment (CGI-C). At final visit, the participants CGI-C will be categorized into a three point scale as: improvement: CGI response of very much improved, much improved or minimally improved; no change: CGI response of no change; worsening: CGI response of very much worse, much worse or minimally worse. | Week 16 or ET | 
| Change From Baseline in Medical Outcome Study (MOS) Sleep Scale Sub-scores at Week 16 or ET | MOS: participant rated questionnaire, assess sleep quality and quantity. Consists of 9-item overall sleep problems index (length of time to fall asleep, how many hours of sleep each night during past 4 weeks); 7 subscales rated 1 (all the time) to 6 (none of the time): sleep disturbance, snoring, awaken short of breath (SOB) or with a headache, somnolence adequacy, and sleep quantity. Transformed scores (actual raw score minus lowest possible score divided by possible raw score range multiplied by 100); sub-scales total score range= 0-100; higher score indicates greater intensity of attribute. | Baseline and week 16 or ET |
