Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

AB-Neurotoxicity Scale.

Total Scores AB-Neurotoxicity Scale Week 12. This scale provides subject ratings of anticonvulsant neurotoxic effects. Scores may range 0 to 72, with possibility of an additional 30 points being for complaints not listed in the list of complaints provides. Total scores, therefore, may be as high as 102, with higher scores indicating greater severity of problems. Actual mean scores are shown. Means for the analysis are least means squares values obtained from a two-way repeated measures mixed models analysis, with Week (time) as the the within subject factor and treatment as the between group factor. Baseline values were used as covariates. (NCT00862563)
Timeframe: Week 12

Controlled Word Association Test (COWAT)- Letter Fluency

Number of words generated that start with a set of 3 letters. The COWAT provides a measure of verbal fluency. Actual means for COWAT results are shown. (NCT00862563)
Timeframe: Baseline & Week 12

COWAT-Category

Number of words produced by subjects over 60 seconds for a semantic category (Animals). The COAWAT-Category sub-test provides a measure of verbal fluency. Mean value shown are actual means for the number of words produced. (NCT00862563)
Timeframe: Baseline, Week12

Mean Percent Days Heavy Drinking

Mean weekly values for each treatment group for percent days heavy drinking. Heavy drinking was defined as 4 or more drinks per day for women and 5 or more drinks per day for men. (NCT00862563)
Timeframe: Weeks 10, 11, 12

Percent Days Drinking

Mean percent days drinking for Weeks 10, 11, 12. A drinking day is considered to be a day in which 1 or more drinks have been consumed. Means are model generated least means squares values obtained from a two-way repeated measures analysis from data obtained from Weeks 1 through 12, with Week as the within subject factor and treatment group as the between group factor. (NCT00862563)
Timeframe: Weeks 10, 11, 12

The Primary Efficacy Measure is the Mean Number of Drinks Consumed Per Day Over the Period From Treatment Weeks 10 Through 12 When All Study Medications Should be at Their Maximum Steady Levels Based on Their Known Pharmacokinetic Properties.

Mean standard drinks consumed per day for each treatment week, weeks 10 thru 12. Actual mean values obtained are shown. Analyses are based on model generated least squares means for a two -way repeated measures mixed models analysis for data obtained for weeks 1 through 12, with baseline values used as covariates. Week (time) was used as the within subject factor and treatment group was the between group factor. (NCT00862563)
Timeframe: Weeks 10, 11, 12

Wechsler Memory Scale-3rd Ed. Spatial Span

WMS Spatial Span test measures working memory for a spatial sequence of numbers. This assesses visual working memory. Age adjusted scaled scores are presented. Score may range between 1 and 19, with lower scores indicating greater impairment in performance. (NCT00862563)
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 12

Wechsler Memory Scales (WMS)-3d Ed Digit Span-Age Adjusted Total

WMS Digit Span is a measure of working memory. Subjects respond by repeating lists of number sequences presented by the test administrator. Age adjusted scores are presented below. Scores may range between 1 and 19, with lower scores indicating poorer performance on the task. (NCT00862563)
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 12

Standard Alcoholic Drinks Per Treatment Period

The primary outcome of this study is to determine the effect of levetiracetam on alcohol consumption as measured by change in # of drinks during each treatment period. (NCT01168687)
Timeframe: During each 14 day treatment period
