Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
The area under the curve (AUC) of carisbamate after a single and multiple doses of carisbamate.

Secondary outcome measures
Safety - adverse events (AEs) reporting after a single and multiple doses of carisbamate.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort IVExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects 2 to <6 years of age. The starting doses for the single dose and multiple-dose periods will be based on the PK and safety results of the first 3 cohorts.
Group II: Cohort IIIExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects 6 to <12 years of age. Carisbamate, 60 mg, will be administered on Day 1 and 2 of the single dose period. Carisbamate will be administered at 30 mg twice daily (BID) during the multiple-dose period.
Group III: Cohort IIExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects 12 to <18 years of age. Carisbamate, 140 mg, will be administered on Day 1 and 2 of the single dose period. Carisbamate will be administered at 70 mg twice daily (BID) during the multiple-dose period.
Group IV: Cohort IExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects ≥18 years of age. Carisbamate, 200 mg, will be administered on Day 1 and 2 of the single-dose period. Carisbamate will be administered at 100 mg twice daily (BID) during the multiple-dose period.
