Brivaracetam Efficacy and Safety Study in Subjects With Partial Onset Seizures
RandomizedParallel-groupQuadruple-blindTreatment

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of brivaracetam at doses of 100 and 200mg/day compared to placebo as adjunctive treatment in adult focal epilepsy subjects with partial onset seizures not fully controlled despite current treatment with 1 or 2 concomitant antiepileptic drugs.
