Medications Allowed if Specific Conditions Are Met-Medications that are allowed under
specific conditions are listed:
- Thyroid hormone. At a stable dose <= 0.2 mg/day
- Thiazide. At a stable dose
- Vaginal application of estrogen-containing creams. Conjugated estrogen or estradiol at
a dose of <=0.5 g administered twice each week (total of 1.0 g weekly). Estrace®

self-limited illness allowed under the following conditions: 1. Exposure to steroids
limited to £30 consecutive days 2. Maximal dose (prednisone-equivalent) does not
exceed 225 mg (5 mg/day for 30 days) 3. Illness was acute in nature and not expected
to recur during the remaining treatment period of the study
- Inhaled corticosteroids. At a dose <1200 mg/day beclomethasone equivalent

last phenytoin exposure was >15 years prior to screening for TOP or was between 5-15
years before screening for TOP and for <2 months duration
- Provera® (medroxyprogesterone). Allowed if used according to the label
Laboratory Values and Physical Examination Findings - For excluded laboratory values, the
levels shown in the following table are the upper limits for exclusions based on specific
test results, with the exception of calculated creatinine clearance and serum 25(OH)
vitamin D, for which the limits are lower. All exclusionary laboratory results should be
confirmed by a repeat test. Subjects may be excluded for any other clinically abnormal
value, as determined by the investigator.
- Fasting serum total calcium (Ca). Subject excluded if value* >10.2 mg/dL**,***
- 24-hour urinary Ca. Subject excluded if value* >360 mg/day**
- Serum total alkaline phosphatase. Subject excluded if value* 3X upper limit of normal
for laboratory
- Serum PTH***. Subject excluded if value* >50 pg/mL
- Calculated creatinine clearance*** Subject excluded if value* <50 mL/minute
- Serum 25(OH) vitamin D***. Subject excluded if value* <20 ng/mL
(*)Exclude subject only if repeat assessment confirms the result.
(**)Not to be used as a reason for premature discontinuation during the study. Subjects
with elevated values after enrollment are to be managed by the appropriate algorithm
(Appendices 2 and 3).
