| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Percent Change in the 28-day Total Partial Seizure (PS) Frequency From Baseline (BL) to the End of the Double-blind (DB) Phase (Titration and Maintenance Phases) | Baseline (Week -7 through Week 0), Week 1 through Week 18 | 28-day total PS (PSs \[also called focal seizures\] are seizures limited to a specific area of the brain) frequency in the BL period = (Number \[No.\] of total PSs reported in the BL period divided by the No. of days of available total PS data in the BL period) x 28 days. 28-day total PS frequency in the DB period = (No. of total PSs reported in the DB period divided by the No. of days of available total PS data in the DB period) x 28 days. Percent change = (\[value in the DB period minus value at BL\] divided by the BL value) x 100%. Negative values indicate a reduction in seizure frequency. |
| Primary | Number of Participants Who Were Responders and Non-responders in the Maintenance Phase | Week 7 through Week 18 | Responders were participants with at least a 50% reduction in the 28-day total partial seizure frequency in the Maintenance Phase as compared to the Baseline period. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants Who Were Responders and Non-responders in the DB Phase | Week 1 through Week 18 | Responders were participants with at least a 50% reduction in the 28-day total partial seizure frequency in the DB Phase as compared to the Baseline period. Participants without any post-baseline data were considered non-responders. |
| Secondary | Percent Change From Baseline (BL) in the 28-day Total Partial Seizure Frequency During the Maintenance Phase | Baseline (Week -7 through Week 0), Week 7 through Week 18 | 28-day total partial seizure frequency in the BL period = (No. of total partial seizures reported in the BL period divided by the No. of days of available total partial seizure data in the BL period) x 28 days. 28-day total partial seizure frequency in the Maintenance Phase = (No. of total partial seizures reported in the Maintenance Phase divided by the No. of days of available total partial seizure data in the same phase) x 28 days. Percent change = (value in the Maintenance Phase minus value at BL divided by the BL value) x 100%. Negative values indicate a reduction in seizure frequency. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With a Reduction in the 28-day Total Partial Seizure Frequency From Baseline to the End of DB Phase (Titration and Maintenance Phases) by Indicated Quartile Reduction Categories | Baseline (Week -7 through Week 0), Week 1 through Week 18 | Participants who experienced a reduction from Baseline in the 28-day total partial seizure frequency were categorized as having a reduction of 75-100%, 50-\<75%, 25-\<50%, or \<25%, in addition to having no reduction. This quartile cutting was specified in the study protocol. Participants without any post-baseline data were included in the "No reduction" category. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With a Reduction in the 28-day Total Partial Seizure Frequency From Baseline to the End of the DB Phase (Titration and Maintenance Phases) by Indicated Decile Reduction and Increase Categories | Baseline (Week -7 through Week 0), Week 1 through Week 18 | Participants who experienced a reduction from Baseline in the 28-day total partial seizure frequency were categorized in decile cutting, i.e., reduction categories of 90-100%, 80-\<90%, 70-\<80%, 60-\<70%, 50-\<60%, 40-\<50%, 30-\<40%, 20-\<30%, 10-\<20%, \>0-\<10%, and increase categories of 0-10%, \>10-20%, \>20-30%, \>30% (FDA endpoint). Participants without any post-baseline data were included in the 0-10% increase category. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With the Indicated Reduction From Baseline in the 28-day Total Partial Seizure Frequency During the Maintenance Phase | Baseline (Week -7 through Week 0), Week 7 through Week 18 | Participants who experienced a reduction from Baseline in the 28-day total partial seizure frequency were categorized as having a \>75%, a 50-75%, or a \<50% reduction, in addition to having no reduction (EMEA endpoint). |
| Secondary | Number of Participants Who Experienced the Indicated Level of Exacerbation and Reduction in the 28-day Total Partial Seizure Frequency From Baseline During the Maintenance Phase | Baseline (Week -7 through Week 0), Week 7 through Week 18 | Participants who experienced an exacerbation from Baseline in the 28-day total partial seizure frequency were categorized as having a 0-25% or a \>25% increase (EMEA endpoint). The number of participants experiencing a \>0% reduction from Baseline in the 28-day total partial seizure frequency are also presented. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants Reporting New Seizure Types in the Indicated Categories During the DB Phase (Titration and Maintenance Phases) That Were Not Reported at Baseline | Baseline (Week -7 through Week 0), Week 1 through Week 18 | New seizure types included those seizures which were not reported by any participant at Baseline. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants Who Were Seizure-free During the DB Phase (Titration and Maintenance Phases) | Week 1 through Week 18 | Participants were considered to be seizure-free if they had not reported any seizures during the DB treatment period (Weeks 1-18). For a participant to be seizure free during the DB Phase, the participant had to be seizure free both Week 7 to Week 18 and Week 1 to Week 6. A participant could be seizure free Week 7 to Week 18 (during the Maintenance Phase), but not seizure free Week 1 to Week 6. Hence, there are fewer participants being reported as seizure free from Week 1 to Week 18 than from Week 7 to Week 18. |
