ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryThe Percentage of Participants in the 300 mg/Day Dose Group Who Prematurely Discontinued the Study Between Study Visit 5 (Approximately Week 7) and Visit 9 (End of the Treatment Phase)From Study Visit 5 through Visit 9 of the Treatment Phase (approximately Week 7 through Week 23)
The percentage of participants prematurely discontinuing the study was calculated as the number of participants who discontinued the study divided by the number who reached Visit 5 minus major protocol violators. The Control group is composed of data from other similar studies and is not part of this study.
SecondaryThe Percentage of Participants in the 250 mg/Day Dose Group Who Prematurely Discontinued the Study Between Study Visit 5 (Approximately Week 7) and Visit 9 (End of the Treatment Phase)From Study Visit 5 through Visit 9 of the Treatment phase (approximately Week 7 through Week 23)
The percentage of participants prematurely discontinuing the study was calculated as the number of participants who discontinued the study divided by the number who had reached Visit 5 minus major protocol violators. The Control group was composed of data from other similar studies and is not part of this study.
SecondaryTime to Discontinuation in the Treatment PhaseFrom Study Visit 5 through Visit 9 of the Treatment phase (approximately Week 7 through Week 23)Time (days) until the participant discontinued the study
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Meeting Escape Criteria in the Treatment PhaseStudy Visit 5 through Visit 9 of the Treatment phase (approximately Week 7 through Week 23)
The percentage of participants meeting Escape Criteria was calculated as the number of participants who met an Escape Criterion divided by the number who had reached Visit 5 minus major protocol violators. Escape Criteria are: (1) doubling of average monthly seizure frequency; (2) doubling of the highest consecutive 2-day seizure total; (3) occurrence of a new, more severe seizure type; or (4) worsening of generalized tonic-clonic seizures.
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in Weekly Seizure Frequency Between Study Visits 3 (Start of Dosing) and 9 (End of the Treatment Phase)Baseline and Study Visit 3 through Visit 9 of the Treatment phase (Treatment Week 0 through Week 23)
Change from Baseline was measured as the number of seizures at Visits 3 through 9 minus the number of seizures at Baseline. The number of partial seizures during treatment divided by the number of weeks of treatment was compared to the weekly seizure frequency during Baseline. A positive number equals a reduction in seizure frequency.
SecondaryNumber of Seizure-free Participants During the Last 12 Weeks of Treatment of the Treatment PhaseThe last 12 weeks of treatment of the Treatment phase (Monotherapy phase - approximately Week 11 through Week 23)
The number of participants who had no seizures during the treatment period was calculated. The last 12 weeks of treatment were either Weeks 11-22 or 12-23 depending on which background AED was being withdrawn
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in the Average Seizure Frequency Measured at the End of Participation in the Continuation PhaseBaseline and start of Continuation phase through Week 24 or end of participation in the Continuation phase
Change from baseline was calculated as the average seizure frequency at the end of the Continuation Phase minus the average seizure frequency at Baseline. The number of seizures during the Continuation phase divided by the number of weeks was compared to the number of seizures at Baseline. A positive number indicates a reduction in seizure frequency.
SecondaryThe Number of Participants With at Least the Specified Change in Seizure Frequency, Compared to Baseline, at the End of Participation in the Continuation Phase (Maximum of 24 Weeks)Baseline and entire Continuation phase (24 Weeks)Change in seizure frequency was calculated as the average seizure frequency during the Continuation Phase minus the seizure frequency at Baseline.
