Arm Description

Lacosamide added to first adequate monotherapy (no history of Antiepileptic Drug [AED] polytherapy) and epilepsy diagnosis < or = 24 months at Screening.

Lacosamide added to 1 to 3 Antiepileptic Drugs (AEDs) (with tentatives of at least 2 prior AED treatment regimens) and epilepsy diagnosis > or = 5 years at Screening.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The Proportion of Subjects Who Achieved "Seizure-free Status" During the First 12 Weeks of the Maintenance Phase
A subject will be considered seizure-free if the subject completes the first 12 weeks of the Maintenance Phase, reports zero seizures, and has no seizure data missing for any day during the period of time. This study was intended to assess the efficacy outcomes in the First Add-On Group and the Later Add-On Group individually relative to historical data. Comparisons between the 2 groups should not be attempted and conclusions should not be drawn.
