Exploring the Safety And Tolerability of Doses of E2007 up to a Maximum of 12 mg In Patients With Refractory Partial Seizures

Summary

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to determine the maximum tolerated dose of E2007. Epilepsy patients with refractory partial seizures will be divided into two groups of 24 patients each. One group will be patients who take concomitant inducing AEDs (anti-epileptic drugs) and the second group will be patients who do not take concomitant inducing AEDs. In each group, 18 patients will receive E2007 (dose escalating to a maximum of 12 mg per day) and six will receive placebo.
