About this study
Official title: A Multicentre, Open-label, Long-term, Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy Study of Retigabine Immediate-release (IR) in Asian Adults With Partial Onset Seizures (Extension of Study RTG114855)
This is a multicentre, long-term, open-label extension (OLE) study to assess the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of retigabine immediate-release (IR) as adjunctive therapy in adult Asian subjects with drug-resistant partial-onset seizures (POS).
Read the detailed description
Subjects who successfully complete the Maintenance Phase of Study RTG114855 (parent study) and are expected to benefit from therapy with retigabine IR will be eligible for this OLE study. The study will consist of Screening (1 day), Open-Label Treatment and Follow-up (3 weeks) phase. Subjects will initially receive a starting dose of retigabine IR at 900 milligram (mg)/day and the same concurrent antiepileptic drug (AED) regimen that they were receiving at the final visit of the Transition Phase of the parent study. After the first week of the OLE study, the dose of retigabine IR may be adjusted to between 600 and 1200 mg/day, with dose adjustments in increments or decrements of 150 mg/week, based on efficacy and tolerability. In addition, the dose and number of concurrent AEDs may also be adjusted to meet each individual subject's needs. The efficacy and safety issues will be assessed throughout the study; subjects will be instructed to call the investigator if they experience any efficacy or tolerability issues between the study visits. As the duration of the study will be determined based on the following four conditions: 1) regulatory approval and commercialisation of retigabine IR; 2) retigabine IR is not approved by the regulatory authorities; 3) the study is terminated by the Sponsor for reasons including, but not limited to, safety issues; or 4) the subject is withdrawn or withdraws consent, 4 years will be considered as a guide to the duration of the study. The safety and tolerability endpoints are incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs); proportion of subjects with AEs leading to discontinuation; change from Baseline in vital sign measurements and weight; change from Baseline in electrocardiogram parameters; change from Baseline in haematology, chemistry, and urinalysis parameters; changes from Baseline in American Urological Association Symptom Index and post-void residual bladder ultrasound volumes; and summary of the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale. Efficacy will be assessed by calculating the percent change from Baseline (parent study) in 28-day total POS frequency for the entire open-label Treatment Phase of this OLE study. This will also be calculated based on duration of exposure. Responder rate (defined as a >/=50% reduction from Baseline in 28-day total POS frequency) will also be summarised for the entire open-label Treatment Phase and by duration of exposure.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent (TE) Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Non-SAEs
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. Any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability, is a congenital anomaly/ birth defect, other situations and is associated with liver injury or impaired liver function is SAE. TEAE refers to an AE for which the onset was on or after the date of the first RTG dose in this study and on or before 30 days after the last RTG dose date. AEs that started in the parent study that worsened in this study were also considered as TEAEs. Safety population comprised of participants who take at least 1 dose of study medication after they have enrolled into this OLE study. Number of participants with TE-SAEs and non-SAEs (with incidence >= 5%) have been presented.
Measured: Up to 4 years
Percentage of Participants With TEAEs Leading to Study Discontinuation
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. TEAE refers to an AE for which the onset was on or after the date of the first RTG dose in this study and on or before 30 days after the last RTG dose date. Percentage of participants with TEAEs leading to study discontinuation were presented.

Percentage of Responders to POS Frequency
A responder was defined as a participant experiencing a >=50 percent reduction in 28 day total POS frequency from Baseline. A responder rate was calculated overall and based on duration of exposure. As this was an OLE study, Baseline was defined by the parent study Baseline period. Percentage of responders were evaluated from study RTG114873 Day 1 through the last dosing day, excluding the Taper Phase.
Measured: Up to 4 years
Percent Change From Baseline in 28-day Total POS Frequency
The 28-day total POS frequency was calculated as the number of total POS reported during the treatment phase, divided by the number of applicable days in the treatment phase, then multiplying this ratio by 28. In this formula, innumerable seizures were counted as 10 seizures and status epilepticus was counted as 1 seizure. As this was an OLE study, Baseline was defined by the parent study Baseline period. The percent change from Baseline was calculated as the 28-day total POS on-treatment frequency (during dosing in this study, not including the taper phase) minus the Baseline 28-day total POS frequency, with this difference being divided by the Baseline 28-day partial seizure rate, and the resulting quantity multiplied by 100. It was calculated as overall and by duration of exposure. Mean and SD were presented.
Measured: Baseline and up to 4 years
Number of Participants With Resolution of Abnormal Eye Pigmentation After Discontinuation of RTG
The ophthalmologist/retina specialist determined the presence or absence of retinal and non-retinal ocular abnormalities. Retinal abnormalities included abnormalities in the macula and/or the peripheral retina. This analysis was performed on the All SFUCP Subjects population which comprised of all participants who enter the SFUCP.
Measured: Up to 1.4 years
Number of Participants With Resolution of Dermatologist-confirmed Abnormal Discoloration After Discontinuation of RTG
The skin examination included assessment of the skin around the eyes and the eye lids, lips, nails, and mucosa. Participants who enter the SFUCP who had on-treatment finding(s) of abnormal discoloration of skin, lips, nails or mucosa confirmed by a dermatologist, underwent assessments performed by a dermatologist at 6-monthly intervals.
Measured: Up to 1.4 years

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This is a multicentre, long-term, open-label extension (OLE) study to assess the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of retigabine immediate-release (IR) as adjunctive therapy in adult Asian subjects with drug-resistant partial-onset seizures (POS).
Detailed description
Subjects who successfully complete the Maintenance Phase of Study RTG114855 (parent study) and are expected to benefit from therapy with retigabine IR will be eligible for this OLE study. The study will consist of Screening (1 day), Open-Label Treatment and Follow-up (3 weeks) phase. Subjects will initially receive a starting dose of retigabine IR at 900 milligram (mg)/day and the same concurrent antiepileptic drug (AED) regimen that they were receiving at the final visit of the Transition Phase of the parent study. After the first week of the OLE study, the dose of retigabine IR may be adjusted to between 600 and 1200 mg/day, with dose adjustments in increments or decrements of 150 mg/week, based on efficacy and tolerability. In addition, the dose and number of concurrent AEDs may also be adjusted to meet each individual subject's needs. The efficacy and safety issues will be assessed throughout the study; subjects will be instructed to call the investigator if they experience any efficacy or tolerability issues between the study visits. As the duration of the study will be determined based on the following four conditions: 1) regulatory approval and commercialisation of retigabine IR; 2) retigabine IR is not approved by the regulatory authorities; 3) the study is terminated by the Sponsor for reasons including, but not limited to, safety issues; or 4) the subject is withdrawn or withdraws consent, 4 years will be considered as a guide to the duration of the study. The safety and tolerability endpoints are incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs); proportion of subjects with AEs leading to discontinuation; change from Baseline in vital sign measurements and weight; change from Baseline in electrocardiogram parameters; change from Baseline in haematology, chemistry, and urinalysis parameters; changes from Baseline in American Urological Association Symptom Index and post-void residual bladder ultrasound volumes; and summary of the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale. Efficacy will be assessed by calculating the percent change from Baseline (parent study) in 28-day total POS frequency for the entire open-label Treatment Phase of this OLE study. This will also be calculated based on duration of exposure. Responder rate (defined as a >/=50% reduction from Baseline in 28-day total POS frequency) will also be summarised for the entire open-label Treatment Phase and by duration of exposure.

Percentage of Responders to POS Frequency
Time frame: Up to 4 years
A responder was defined as a participant experiencing a >=50 percent reduction in 28 day total POS frequency from Baseline. A responder rate was calculated overall and based on duration of exposure. As this was an OLE study, Baseline was defined by the parent study Baseline period. Percentage of responders were evaluated from study RTG114873 Day 1 through the last dosing day, excluding the Taper Phase.
Percent Change From Baseline in 28-day Total POS Frequency
Time frame: Baseline and up to 4 years
The 28-day total POS frequency was calculated as the number of total POS reported during the treatment phase, divided by the number of applicable days in the treatment phase, then multiplying this ratio by 28. In this formula, innumerable seizures were counted as 10 seizures and status epilepticus was counted as 1 seizure. As this was an OLE study, Baseline was defined by the parent study Baseline period. The percent change from Baseline was calculated as the 28-day total POS on-treatment frequency (during dosing in this study, not including the taper phase) minus the Baseline 28-day total POS frequency, with this difference being divided by the Baseline 28-day partial seizure rate, and the resulting quantity multiplied by 100. It was calculated as overall and by duration of exposure. Mean and SD were presented.
