systemic toxicity.

noted for females or for males in this group or in any groups during the PND 62 assessment.
Although based on a transient effect in 1 sex, 100 mg/kg/day was considered to be the
NOAEL for F1 neurobehavioral assessment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Due to the absence of effects on reproductive performance at any dosage
level, a dosage of 200 mg/kg/day was considered to be the NOAEL for F1 reproductive
toxicity
Executive summary:

Three groups of bred female Crl:CD(SD) rats were administered the test item, lacosamide

(SPM 927), twice daily (bid) in 2 equally divided doses given approximately 10 hours apart,

by oral gavage.

Based on F0 clinical findings, mean body weight losses and lower mean body weight gains

and food consumption at 100 and 200 mg/kg/day and increased F0 mortality/moribundity at

200 mg/kg/day, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for F0 maternal systemic

effects was considered to be 50 mg/kg/day of lacosamide (SPM 927). Based on lower F1

postnatal survival (including total litter loss) and lower birth weights for the 200 mg/kg/day

F1 males and females, the dosage level of 100 mg/kg/day was considered to be the NOAEL

for F1 developmental/neonatal toxicity. Decreased learning performance was noted only for

females in the 200 mg/kg/day group during PND 22 Biel maze testing and there was no effect

noted for females or for males in this group or in any groups during the PND 62 assessment.

Although based on a transient effect in 1 sex, 100 mg/kg/day was considered to be the

NOAEL for F1 neurobehavioral assessment. There were no test item-related macroscopic or

microscopic changes in the F1 animals, including no changes assessed in brain structure as

investigated by sensitive techniques (brain weights and macroscopic and microscopic

evaluations). Based on lower body weights in the 200 mg/kg group F1 males and females, a

dosage level of 100 mg/kg/day was considered to be the NOAEL for F1 male and female

systemic toxicity. Due to the absence of effects on reproductive performance at any dosage

level, a dosage of 200 mg/kg/day was considered to be the NOAEL for F1 reproductive

toxicity and F2 development.

The 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg/day dosage levels correspond to lacosamide AUC0-24 values on

lactation day 10 of 151, 277, and 517 μg*h/mL, respectively.

The study was performed in accordance with the GLP principles.
