Registered outcomes11

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercent Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency Per 28 Days During the Maintenance PeriodBaseline; Maintenance Period: Weeks 9 to 20
Seizure frequency per 28 days is defined as total number of seizures (convulsive seizures for DS, drop seizures for LGS) reported during the period divided by number of days during the period seizures were assessed multiplied by 28. Percent change from Baseline is defined as (frequency of seizures per 28 days during maintenance period - frequency of seizures per 28 days at baseline) divided by frequency of seizures per 28 days at baseline multiplied by 100. Negative percent change from Baseline indicates improvement.
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency Per 28 Days During the Treatment PeriodBaseline; Treatment Period: Weeks 0 to 20
Seizure Frequency per 28 days is defined as total number of Seizures reported (convulsive seizures for DS, drop seizures for LGS) during the period divided by number of days during the period seizures were assessed multiplied by 28. Percent Change from Baseline is defined as (frequency of seizures per 28 days during treatment period - frequency of seizures per 28 days at baseline) divided by frequency of seizures per 28 days at baseline multiplied by 100. Negative percent change from Baseline indicates improvement.
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in Convulsive Seizure Frequency Per 28 Days in Participants With Dravet Syndrome Stratum During the Maintenance PeriodBaseline; Maintenance Period: Weeks 9 to 20
Convulsive seizure frequency per 28 days is defined as total number of convulsive seizures reported during the period divided by number of days during the period seizures were assessed multiplied by 28. Percent Change from Baseline (%) is defined as \[(Maintenance Period Convulsive Seizure Frequency - Baseline Period Convulsive Seizure Frequency) divided by Baseline Convulsive Seizure Frequency\] multiplied by 100. Negative percent change from Baseline indicates improvement.
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in Drop Seizure Frequency Per 28 Days in Participants With the Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) Stratum During the Maintenance PeriodBaseline; Maintenance Period: Weeks 9 to 20
Drop seizure frequency per 28 days is defined as total number of drop seizures reported during the period divided by number of days during the period seizures were assessed multiplied by 28. Percent Change from Baseline (%) is defined as \[(Maintenance Period Drop Seizure Frequency - Baseline Period Drop Seizure Frequency) divided by Baseline Drop Seizure Frequency\] multiplied by 100. Negative percent change from Baseline indicates improvement.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With LGS Stratum Considered Treatment Responders Throughout the Maintenance PeriodMaintenance Period: Weeks 9 to 20
Responders are defined as having over 50% drop seizure reduction compared to Baseline. Percent Reduction from Baseline (%) is defined as \[(Maintenance Period Drop Seizure Frequency - Baseline Period Drop Seizure Frequency) divided by Baseline Drop Seizure Frequency\] multiplied by 100. Data is reported as reduction of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% or more in drop seizures from Baseline.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Dravet Syndrome Stratum Considered Treatment Responders Throughout the Maintenance PeriodMaintenance Period: Weeks 9 to 20
Responders are defined as having over 50% convulsive seizure reduction compared to Baseline. Percent Reduction from Baseline (%) is defined as \[(Maintenance Period Convulsive Seizure Frequency - Baseline Period Convulsive Seizure Frequency) divided by Baseline Convulsive Seizure Frequency\] multiplied by 100. Data is reported as reduction of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% or more in drop seizures from Baseline.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Clinician's Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) Responses of Investigator Reported Impression of Efficacy and Tolerability of Study DrugBaseline and Week 20
The CGI-Severity (CGI-S) focuses on clinicians' observations of the participant's cognitive, functional, and behavioral performance since the beginning of the study. The CGI-S is rated on a 7-point scale, with the severity of illness scale using a range of responses from 1 (normal) through to 7 (amongst the most severely ill participants). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) Responses as Per the Investigator Reported Impression of Efficacy and Tolerability TAK-935Week 20
CGI-Change (CGI-C) treatment response ratings should take account of both therapeutic efficacy and treatment-related AEs. Each component of the CGI is rated separately; the instrument does not yield a global score. The CGI-C is rated on a 7-point scale, where, 0 = Marked improvement and no side-effects, 1 = Marked improvement and minimal side-effects, 2 = No Change, 3 = Minimal improvement and marked side-effects and 4 = Unchanged or worse and side-effects outweigh the therapeutic effect. Lower scores indicated improvement.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Caregiver Global Impression of Change (Care GI-C) Responses as Per the Parent/Family Reported Impression of Efficacy and Tolerability of TAK-935Week 20
The Care GI-C is rated on a 7-point scale, with the severity of illness scale where, 1 = Very much improved, 2 = Much improved, 3 = Slightly improved, 4 = No change, 5 = Slightly worse, 6 = Much worse and 7 = Very much worse. Lower scores indicated improvement.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Plasma 24S-Hydroxycholesterol (24HC) Levels in Participants Treated With TAK-935 as an Adjunctive TherapyBaseline and Week 24A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
