A Parallel, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Proof of Concept Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of 400 mg/Day Lacosamide Tablets in Subjects With Signs and Symptoms Associated With Fibromyalgia Syndrome

This trial investigated the efficacy and safety of 400mg/day of lacosamide as compared to
placebo in reducing the signs and symptoms of fibromyalgia syndrome.

This was a proof-of-concept study and not powered for statistical comparisons.

The trial consisted of a 4-week Titration Phase, an 8-week Maintenance Phase, a 1-week Taper
Phase, and a 2-week Safety Follow-Up Phase. If subjects met the eligibility criteria, they
were randomized to receive either lacosamide 400mg/day or placebo during the Maintenance
Phase. Subjects assigned to lacosamide were titrated from 100mg/day to 400mg/day at weekly
intervals of 100mg. All subjects who completed the 4-week Titration Phase entered an 8-week
Maintenance Phase. No dose adjustment was allowed during the Maintenance Phase. The Treatment
Phase was defined as the combined Titration and Maintenance Phases.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Males or females, 18 to 65 years old

- Fulfills all 3 points of American College of Rheumatology (ACR) definition for
diagnosis of fibromyalgia

Baseline Diary Phase
