ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercent 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), DB Phase (Week 1 through Week 16)
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 valu es indicate a reduction in seizure frequency.
PrimaryNumber of Participants Classified as Responders and Non-responders During the Maintenance PhaseWeek 5 through Week 16Responders 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.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Who Were Responders and Non-responders During the DB PhaseWeek 1 through Week 16
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.
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline (BL) in the 28-day Total Partial Seizure Frequency During the Maintenance PhaseBaseline (Week -7 through Week 0), Week 5 through Week 16
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.
SecondaryNumber 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 CategoriesBaseline (Week -7 through Week 0), Week 1 through Week 16
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 are 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 DB Phase (Titration and Maintenance Phases) by Indicated Decile Reduction and Increase Categories
Baseline (Week -7 through Week 0), Week 1 through Week 16
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 category 0-10% increase category.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With the Indicated Reduction From Baseline in the 28-day Total Partial Seizure Frequency During the Maintenance PhaseBaseline (Week -7 through Week 0), Week 5 through Week 16
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).
SecondaryNumber of Participants Who Experienced the Indicated Level of Exacerbation and Reduction in the 28-day Total Partial Seizure Frequency From Baseline During the Maintenance PhaseBaseline (Week -7 through Week 0), Week 5 through Week 16
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.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Reporting New Seizure Types in the Indicated Categories During the DB Phase (Titration and Maintenance Phases) That Were Not Reported at BaselineBaseline (Week -7 through Week 0), Week 1 through Week 16New seizure types included those seizures which were not reported by any participant at Baseline.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Who Were Seizure-free During the DB Phase (Titration and Maintenance Phases)Week 1 through Week 16
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.
