Adjunctive therapy with retigabine is well tolerated and reduces the frequency of partial-onset seizures in a dose-dependent manner.

Studies 202 and 208 provided critical information on RTG safety and tolerability, and reductions in seizure rates towards the design and conduct of subsequent pivotal clinical trials. Likewise, information regarding the appropriate dosage of RTG with VPA, CBZ, PHT, or TPM was obtained, which permitted the subsequent pivotal trials to be performed appropriately. *Currently at Shire Pharmaceuticals, Behavioral Health Business Unit, Wayne, PA, USA **Currently at University of Pennsylvania, Department of Neurology, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
