The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term therapy with retigabine administered as adjunctive therapy in adult epilepsy patients with partial-onset seizures, who completed the VRX-RET-E22-301 double-blind study. The efficacy of long-term treatment with retigabine and patient quality of life will also be assessed.
Read the detailed description
This Phase 3 trial is an open-label extension study of the placebo-controlled, double-blind VRX-RET-E22-301 trial. Patients who have completed the VRX-RET-E22-301 trial and who meet inclusion and exclusion criteria will be treated with 600-1200 mg/day of retigabine as an adjunct therapy to their current antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) or vagal nerve stimulation. Treatment will be continued until retigabine is commercially available, or until the program is discontinued. Patients will be recruited from 45-50 sites in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina. The safety and tolerability of long-term therapy with retigabine administered as adjunctive therapy in adult epilepsy patients with partial-onset seizures will be evaluated. In addition, the efficacy of long-term treatment with retigabine and patient quality of life will be assessed.

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Event (SAE) and Adverse Event (AE)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization (unplanned hospital stay) or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Treatment-emergent AE was defined as an AE with an onset on or after the day of first dose of the study medication and on or before 30 days after the last dose date. AEs reported during parent study and worsened after first dose of RTG in this OLE study were also reported.
Measured: Assessed up to a maximum of 9 years
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events Leading to Withdrawal From Study Drug

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term therapy with retigabine administered as adjunctive therapy in adult epilepsy patients with partial-onset seizures, who completed the VRX-RET-E22-301 double-blind study. The efficacy of long-term treatment with retigabine and patient quality of life will also be assessed.
Detailed description
This Phase 3 trial is an open-label extension study of the placebo-controlled, double-blind VRX-RET-E22-301 trial. Patients who have completed the VRX-RET-E22-301 trial and who meet inclusion and exclusion criteria will be treated with 600-1200 mg/day of retigabine as an adjunct therapy to their current antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) or vagal nerve stimulation. Treatment will be continued until retigabine is commercially available, or until the program is discontinued. Patients will be recruited from 45-50 sites in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina. The safety and tolerability of long-term therapy with retigabine administered as adjunctive therapy in adult epilepsy patients with partial-onset seizures will be evaluated. In addition, the efficacy of long-term treatment with retigabine and patient quality of life will be assessed.

Time frame: 2 years 9 months
Retinal pigmentary abnormality was determined by either an ophthalmologist or retina specialist. Retinal pigmentary abnormality included pigmentary abnormality of macula, pigmentary abnormality of the peripheral retina and non-retinal ocular pigmentary abnormality. If a participant had pigmentary abnormality of macula and pigmentary abnormality of the peripheral retina both should be resolved in order for retinal pigmentary abnormality to be considered resolved. If a participant had non-retinal ocular pigmentary abnormality in more than location (conjunctiva, sclera, cornea, iris or lens), all should be resolved for non-retinal pigmentary abnormality to be considered resolved. Only participants with resolution of the specified pigmentation are included in this analysis.
Time From Discontinuation of Retigabine to Resolution of All Dermatologist-Confirmed Abnormal Discoloration
Time frame: 2 years 9 months
Assessments were at approximately 6-monthly intervals (timed relative to the participants previous dermatology assessment) until the abnormal discoloration either resolved or stabilized (as defined by no changes over 2 consecutive 6-monthly assessments performed by the dermatologist over at least 12 months after discontinuation of retigabine). The assessment of the participant's skin included assessment of the skin around the eyes and the eyelids, lips, nails, and mucosa. Only participants with resolution of the specified tissue are included in this analysis.
