What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 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)
  1. 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

  2. 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. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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. 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 2 to Week 14

  5. Percentage of Participants With ≥50% Reduction in 28-day SGTC 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.

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 14

  6. Loge 28-day Seizure Rate for All Partial Onset Seizures 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. 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 2 to Week 14

  7. Change From Baseline in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale - Anxiety (HADS-A) Total Score at Week 14

    Measured: Day 1 to Week 15

  25. Percentage of Participants With Corrected QT (QTc) Interval Greater Than or Equal to 450 ms

    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. QT interval corrected using the Fridericia formula (QTcF) and QT interval corrected using the Bazett's formula (QTcB) were calculated.

    Measured: Week 15

  26. 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

  27. 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
