minimize [125:3 times the upper limit of normal) to rare cases with concomitant elevations of total bilirubin (>2 times the upper limit of normal) have been reported with Aptiom use. Baseline evaluations of liver laboratory tests are recommended. The combination of transaminase elevations and elevated bilirubin without evidence of obstruction is generally recognized as an important predictor of severe liver injury. Aptiom should be discontinued in patients with jaundice or other evidence of significant liver injury (e.g., laboratory evidence). Abnormal Thyroid Function Tests Dose-dependent decreases in serum T3 and T4 (free and total) values have been observed in patients taking Aptiom. These changes were not associated with other abnormal thyroid function tests suggesting hypothyroidism. Abnormal thyroid function tests should be clinically evaluated. 5.10 Hematologic Adverse Reactions Rare cases of pancytopenia, agranulocytosis, and leukopenia have been reported during postmarketing use in patients treated with Aptiom. Discontinuation of Aptiom should be considered in patients who develop pancytopenia, agranulocytosis, or leukopenia. Adverse Reactions The following adverse reactions are described in more detail in the Warnings and Precautions section of the label: Suicidal Behavior and Ideation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Serious Dermatologic Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS)/Multiorgan Hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Anaphylactic Reactions and Angioedema [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] Hyponatremia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] Neurological Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] Drug Induced Liver Injury [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] Abnormal Thyroid Function Tests [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.9 )] Pancytopenia, Agranulocytosis, and Leukopenia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.10 )] Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Adult Patients In monotherapy trials in patients with partial-onset seizures [Study 1 and Study 2, see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 ) ] , 365 patients received Aptiom, of whom 225 were treated for longer than 12 months and 134 for longer than 24 months. Of the patients in those trials, 95% were between 18 and 65 years old; 48% were male, and 84% were Caucasian. Across controlled and uncontrolled trials in patients receiving adjunctive therapy for partial-onset seizures, 1195 patients received Aptiom, of whom 586 were treated for longer than 6 months and 462 for longer than 12 months. In the placebo controlled adjunctive therapy trials in patients with partial-onset seizures (Study 3, Study 4 and Study 5), 1021 patients received Aptiom. Of the patients in those trials, approximately 95% were between 18 and 60 years old, approximately 50% were male, and approximately 80% were Caucasian. Monotherapy Historical Control Trials In the monotherapy epilepsy trials (Study 1 and Study 2), 13% of patients randomized to receive Aptiom at the recommended doses of 1200 mg and 1600 mg once daily discontinued from the trials as a result of an adverse event. The adverse reaction most commonly ( 1% on Aptiom) leading to discontinuation was hyponatremia. Adverse reactions observed in these studies were generally similar to those observed and attributed to drug in adjunctive placebo-controlled studies. Because these studies did not include a placebo control group, causality could not be established. Dizziness, nausea, somnolence, and fatigue were all reported at lower incidences during the AED Withdrawal Phase and Monotherapy Phase compared with the Titration Phase. Adjunctive Therapy Controlled Trials In the controlled adjunctive therapy epilepsy trials (Study 3, Study 4, and Study 5) , the rate of discontinuation as a result of any adverse reaction was 14% for the 800 mg dose, 25% for the 1200 mg dose, and 7% in subjects randomized to placebo. The adverse reactions most commonly ( 1% in any Aptiom treatment group, and greater than placebo) leading to discontinuation, in descending order of frequency, were dizziness, nausea, vomiting, ataxia, diplopia, somnolence, headache, blurred vision, vertigo, asthenia, fatigue, rash, dysarthria, and tremor. The most frequently reported adverse reactions in patients receiving Aptiom at doses of 800 mg or 1200 mg ( 4% and 2% greater than placebo) were dizziness, somnolence, nausea, headache, diplopia, vomiting, fatigue, vertigo, ataxia, blurred vision, and tremor. Table 4 gives the incidence of adverse reactions that occurred in 2% of subjects with partial-onset seizures in any Aptiom treatment group and for which the incidence was greater than placebo during the controlled clinical trials. Adverse reactions during titration were less frequent for patients who began therapy at an initial dose of 400 mg for 1 week and then increased to 800 mg compared to patients who initiated therapy at 800 mg.
