What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Log Transformed (Loge) 28-day Seizure Rate for All Partial Onset Seizures During the Double-blind Treatment Phase
Seizures were recorded and documented in a daily Seizure Diary by the participants, family member, caregiver, or legal guardian. Simple partial seizures without a visible motor component (ie, lacking visible movements during the seizure) were not counted toward eligibility, or in the primary or secondary efficacy analyses. Natural logarithm of the 28-day seizure rate was reported in this outcome measure.
Measured: Week 0 to Week 14
Secondary outcomes (27)
Percentage of Participants With a ≥50% Reduction in the 28-day Partial Seizure Rate From Baseline During the Double-blind Treatment Phase
Seizures were recorded and documented in a daily Seizure Diary by the participants, family member, caregiver, or legal guardian. Simple partial seizures without a visible motor component (ie, lacking visible movements during the seizure) were not counted toward eligibility, or in the primary or secondary efficacy analyses. Participants who had a ≥50% reduction in the 28-day partial seizure rate from baseline were defined as a responder, otherwise they were default as a non-responder.
Measured: Week 0 to Week 14
Percentage Change From Baseline in 28-day Partial Seizure Rate During the Double-blind Treatment Phase
Seizures were recorded and documented in a daily Seizure Diary by the participants, family member, caregiver, or legal guardian.

Natural logarithm of the 28-day seizure rate was reported in this outcome measure.
Measured: Week 0 to Week 14
Frequency of Secondary Generalized Tonic-clonic Seizures (SGTC) During the Double-blind Treatment Phase
Seizures were recorded and documented in a daily Seizure Diary by the participants, family member, caregiver, or legal guardian. Simple partial seizures without a visible motor component (ie, lacking visible movements during the seizure) were not counted toward eligibility, or in the primary or secondary efficacy analyses.
Measured: Week 0 to Week 14
Log Transformed 28-day SGTC Rate for All SGTCs During the Double-blind Maintenance Phase
Seizures were recorded and documented in a daily Seizure Diary by the participants, family member, caregiver, or legal guardian.

Measured: Week 15
Percentage of Participants With Relevant ECG Interval-increases From Baseline During the Double-blind Treatment Phase
The original ECG was reviewed by the investigator and kept on site as part of source documentation. A central ECG reader was also used for this study. 25/50% represents ≥25% or ≥50% increase over baseline respectively, based on cut points. Cut points are 100 ms for QRS and 200 ms for PR.
Measured: Week 15
Percentage of Participants With Laboratory Test Abnormalities During the Study
Laboratory samples in hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis were analyzed by a cental laboratory. Any laboratory value that was identified as clinically significant was reported as an AE. LLN: Lower limit of normal, ULN: Uper limit of normal, RBC: Red Blood Cell, WBC: White Blood Cell, AST: Aspartate Aminotransferase, ALT: Alanine Aminotransferase, BUN: Blood Urea Nitrogen
Measured: Day 1 to Week 15

Primary outcome
Log Transformed (Loge) 28-day Seizure Rate for All Partial Onset Seizures During the Double-blind Treatment Phase
Time frame: Week 0 to Week 14
Seizures were recorded and documented in a daily Seizure Diary by the participants, family member, caregiver, or legal guardian. Simple partial seizures without a visible motor component (ie, lacking visible movements during the seizure) were not counted toward eligibility, or in the primary or secondary efficacy analyses. Natural logarithm of the 28-day seizure rate was reported in this outcome measure.

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Jun 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Log Transformed (Loge) 28-day Seizure Rate for All Partial Onset Seizures During the Double-blind Treatment Phase (time frame: Week 0 to Week 14). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01262677, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jan 2021.
