Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events During the Entire Study Period (up to 32 Days)
Time Frame: During the entire Study Period from Screening (Day -14 to Day -1) over Evaluation Period (Day 1 to Day 4) to Follow-Up Period (Day 5 to Day 18)
An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
Incidence of Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Events During the Entire Study Period (up to 32 Days)
Time Frame: During the entire Study Period from Screening (Day -14 to Day -1) over Evaluation Period (Day 1 to Day 4) to Follow-Up Period (Day 5 to Day 18)
A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, results in significant or persistent disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect (including that occurring in a fetus), or is an important medical event that may jeopardize the subject or may require medical or surgical intervention.
Secondary Outcomes
- Observed Plasma Trough Concentration of Levetiracetam Prior to Intravenous (iv) Infusion on Day 1(Day 1)
- Observed Plasma Trough Concentration of Levetiracetam Prior to Intravenous (iv) Infusion on Day 4(Day 4)
- Dose Normalized Plasma Trough Concentration of Levetiracetam Prior to Intravenous (iv) Infusion on Day 1(Day 1)
- Dose Normalized Plasma Trough Concentration of Levetiracetam Prior to Intravenous (iv) Infusion on Day 4(Day 4)
- Partial (Type 1) Seizure Frequency Per Day Over the Evaluation Period(During the Evaluation Period (Day 1 to Day 4))
