Groups2

Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.

GroupTitleDescriptionWith the outcomeAnalysedClinicalTrials.gov code
Group 1Rufinamide
Participants received rufinamide oral suspension as an add-on therapy to the participant's existing regimen of 1 to 3 AEDs. Participants underwent a 2 week Titration Period during which rufinamide dose was increased from 10 mg/kg/day in increments of 10 mg/kg/day every 3 days to 40 mg/kg/day and thereafter in increments of 5 mg/kg/day to the target maintenance dose of 45 mg/kg/day (all daily treatments were to be administered in 2 equally divided doses). Rufinamide dose reached at the end of the Titration period were to be maintained the same throughout the 104-week Maintenance Period. At the end of Maintenance Period, rufinamide dose should be tapered (as needed) over a period of 2 weeks.
