ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange in Log-transformed Observable Focal Onset Seizure Frequency From Baseline Over the 12 Week Maintenance PeriodFrom Baseline over the 12 Week Maintenance Period
During the study, participants kept diaries to record daily seizure activity. Seizure frequency refers to 28-day adjusted frequency. Seizure frequency was based on investigator assessment of participants' reports of daily seizure type and frequency. Observable focal-onset seizures refer to Type IA1, IB, and IC (ILAE Classification of Epileptic Seizures, 1981). Based on ANCOVA on change in log-transformed, 28-day adjusted seizure frequency from Baseline with treatment group as the main factor, Baseline log-transformed seizure frequency as a continuous covariate, Baseline SV2A use (yes or no) and Region (Europe, Non-Europe) as categorical factors.
PrimaryPercentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Reported by the Subject and/or Caregiver or Observed by the Investigator During the Entire StudyFrom Baseline until Safety Follow-Up (up to Week 23)
An Adverse Event is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
PrimaryPercentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Leading to Study WithdrawalFrom Baseline until Safety Follow-Up (up to Week 23)
An Adverse Event is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
PrimaryPercentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) During the Entire StudyFrom Baseline until Safety Follow-Up (up to Week 23)
A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: * Results in death * Is life-threatening * Requires in patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization * Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect * Is an infection that requires treatment parenteral antibiotics * Other important medical events which based on medical or scientific judgement may jeopardize the patients, or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the above.
Secondary75 % Responder Rate Over the 12 Week Maintenance PeriodEnd of Maintenance Period (Week 16) following 3 Weeks of titration and 1 Week stabilizationThe 75% responder rate, where a responder is a participant experiencing a ≥75% reduction in observable focal-onset seizure frequency from Baseline, over the 12-Week Maintenance Period.
Secondary50 % Responder Rate Over the 12 Week Maintenance PeriodEnd of Maintenance Period (Week 16) following 3 Weeks of titration and 1 Week stabilizationThe 50% responder rate, where a responder was a participant experiencing a ≥50% reduction in observable focal-onset seizure frequency from Baseline, over the 12-Week Maintenance Period.
SecondaryPercent Change in Observable Focal-onset Seizure Frequency From Baseline Over the 12 Week Maintenance PeriodEnd of Maintenance Period (Week 16) following 3 Weeks of titration and 1 Week stabilization
During the study, participants kept diaries to record daily seizure activity. The percentage of participants who experienced a 50 % or greater reduction in seizure frequency per 28 days relative to Baseline (responders) was assessed.
