Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of BGG492 capsules during the maintenance period in patients suffering from partial onset seizures
By measuring the number and percent of patients having any AE (advent event) by primary system organ class and/or preferred term. By laboratory, vital sign, and ECG data, summary statistics of values and change from baseline
38 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (4)
To evaluate the efficacy over time by the change in partial seizure frequency original Baseline Period in the double-blind study CBGG492A2207 to the Open-label Extension Maintenance Phase.
38 weeks
Responder rate: To evaluate the maintenance of efficacy by the change in responder rate and numbers of patients becoming seizure free from the original Baseline Period to the Open-label Extension Maintenance Phase.
38 weeks
Seizure counts: To evaluate the maintenance of efficacy and safety as assessed in percent change of seizure frequency of BGG492 capsules from the original Baseline Period to the Open-label Extension Maintenance Phase.
38 weeks
To evaluate long-term efficacy and safety by summarizing the number and percentage of patients who discontinue due to unsatisfactory therapeutic response effect and for all other reasons.
30 weeks
Study Arms (1)
BGG492
EXPERIMENTALhard gelatin capsule for oral administration at 50 mg TID, 100 mg TID or 150 mg TID

- Have been treated with:
- Felbamate, unless treatment has been continuous for ≥ 2 years
- Vigabatrin during the 26 weeks prior to the first dose of open-label medication in the extension study
- Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, tricyclic-antidepressants and narcotic analgesics
- L-Dopa formulations
- Use of concomitant medication that are potential inhibitors of Organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) transporters
- No physical examination changes suggestive of progressive neurological changes during Study CBGG492A2207
- Used another investigational drug (other than BGG492) either at the time of enrollment in this extension study or within 5 half-lives prior to enrollment in this extension study
- History of hypersensitivity to the study drug or to drugs of similar chemical classes (e.g. sulfonamides) or had multiple drug allergies or one or more severe drug reactions to an Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), including dermatological reactions
- Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women
