ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercent Change From Baseline in Convulsive Seizure Frequency Per 28 Days During the Full Treatment PeriodBaseline; Full Treatment Period: Weeks 1 to 16
Convulsive seizure frequency per 28 days was defined as the total number of convulsive seizures reported during the period divided by the number of days during the period seizures were assessed multiplied by 28. Percent change from Baseline was defined as (frequency of seizures per 28 days during the Full Treatment Period - frequency of seizures per 28 days at Baseline) divided by the frequency of seizures per 28 days at Baseline multiplied by 100.
PrimaryPercent Change From Baseline in Convulsive Seizure Frequency Per 28 Days During the Maintenance PeriodBaseline; Maintenance Period: Weeks 5 to 16
Convulsive seizure frequency per 28 days was defined as the 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 was defined as (frequency of seizures per 28 days during Maintenance Period - frequency of seizures per 28 days at Baseline) divided by the frequency of seizures per 28 days at Baseline multiplied by 100.
SecondaryPercentage of Responders During Maintenance PeriodMaintenance Period: Weeks 5 to 16Responders were defined as those with ≥50% reduction from Baseline in convulsive seizures during the Maintenance Period. Percentages were rounded off to the nearest single decimal place.
SecondaryPercentage of Responders During the Full Treatment PeriodFull Treatment Period: Weeks 1 to 16Responders were defined as those with ≥50% reduction from Baseline in convulsive seizures during the Full Treatment Period. Percentages were rounded off to the nearest single decimal place.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With ≤0%, >0% to ≤25%, >25% to ≤50%, >50% to ≤75%, and >75% to ≤100% Reduction in Convulsive Seizures During the Full Treatment PeriodFull Treatment Period: Weeks 1 to 16
Percent reduction from Baseline (%) was defined as \[(Full Treatment Period Convulsive Seizure Frequency - Baseline Convulsive Seizure Frequency) divided by Baseline Convulsive Seizure Frequency\] multiplied by 100. Data was reported as reduction of ≤0%, \>0% to ≤25%, \>25% to ≤50%, \>50% to ≤75%, \>75% to ≤100% or more in seizures from Baseline. Percentages were rounded off to the nearest single decimal place.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Caregiver Global Impression of Improvement (Care GI-I) Scale Responses as Per the Parent/Caregiver Reported Impression at Week 16Week 16
The Care GI-I is a 7-point Likert scale that the caregiver used to rate improvement in overall seizure control, behavior, safety and tolerability after the initiation of study drug relative to Baseline (before treatment with the study drug). The participant was rated as follows: 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (much worse), and 7 (very much worse). The parent/caregiver completed the Care GI-I via interview. Lower scores indicate improvement. Percentages were rounded off to the nearest single decimal place.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) Scale Responses as Per the Investigator Reported Impression at Week 16Week 16
The CGI-I (Clinician) is a 7-point Likert scale that the investigator used to rate a participant's change (improvement) in overall seizure control, behavior, safety and tolerability, after the initiation of study drug relative to Baseline (before treatment with the study drug). The participant was rated as follows: 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (much worse), and 7 (very much worse). The investigator or designee completed the CGI-I. Lower scores indicate improvement. Percentages were rounded off to the nearest single decimal place.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With CGI-I Nonseizure Symptoms Instrument Responses for Each Domain as Per the Investigator Reported Impression at Week 16Week 16
The CGI-I non-seizure symptoms instrument is a series of single-item assessments that the investigator used to rate improvement in the symptoms and impacts in select non-seizure domains (alertness, communication, and disruptive behaviors) since initiating the study drug. The participant was rated by the investigator for each domain as follows: 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (much worse), and 7 (very much worse). Lower scores indicated improvement. Data for percentage of participants categorized based on the responses for each domain are presented. Percentages were rounded off to the nearest single decimal place.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Quality of Life Inventory-Disability (QI-Disability) Total Score at Week 16Baseline, Week 16
The QI-Disability tool is a parent/caregiver-reported questionnaire that evaluated the quality of life in children with intellectual disabilities. It contains 32 items covering 6 domains of quality of life: physical health, positive emotions, negative emotions, social interaction, leisure and the outdoors, and independence. Each QI-Disability item is rated on a Likert scale of: Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Often, and Very Often. Items were linearly transformed to a scale of 0 to 100, with higher scores representing better quality of life. Domain scores are calculated by averaging item scores. The domain scores are summed and divided by 6 to yield a total score. The total score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a better quality of life. A negative change from Baseline implies deteriorating quality of life. Mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) was used for analysis.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With CGI-I Seizure Intensity and Duration Instrument Responses as Per the Parent/Caregiver Reported Impression at Week 16Week 16
The CGI-I seizure intensity and duration instrument was used by the parent/caregiver to rate changes in intensity and/or duration of the most impactful seizures from the first assessment. The participant's symptoms were rated on 7-point scale as follows: 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (much worse), and 7 (very much worse). Lower scores indicate improvement. Percentages were rounded off to the nearest single decimal place.
