Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) at Month 6
Time Frame: Month 6
For the assessment of the Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C), the investigator provided his/her assessment of the subject's clinical status compared to Baseline. He/she was asked to check the category that best describes the subject's condition over the past 6 months compared to Baseline: * Very much improved * Much improved * Minimally improved * No change * Minimally worse * Much worse * Very much worse
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in Number (Frequency) of Partial-onset Seizures Without Secondary Generalization From Baseline to Month 6(From Baseline to Month 6)
- Change in Number (Frequency) of Seizures With Secondary Generalization From Baseline to Month 3(From Baseline to Month 3)
- Incidence of Adverse Events During the Study(From Inclusion Visit (Day 0) up to Month 6)
- Change in Number (Frequency) of Partial-onset Seizures Without Secondary Generalization From Baseline to Month 3(From Baseline to Month 3)
- Change in Number (Frequency) of Seizures With Secondary Generalization From Baseline to Month 6(From Baseline to Month 6)
