Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Levetiracetam (LEV) dry syrup at doses up to 60 mg/kg/day or 3000 mg/day used as adjunctive therapy in Japanese pediatric subjects aged = 4 to < 16 years with uncontrolled generalized tonic-clonic (GTC) seizures, despite treatment with 1 or 2 Antiepileptic Drugs (AEDs). <br><br>;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): The Percent Change From the Combined Baseline (4-week Retrospective Baseline and 4-week Prospective Baseline) in the Generalized Tonic-clonic Seizure Frequency Per Week Over the 24-week Treatment Period (Up-Titration and Evaluation Periods) <br>;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From Baseline (Week -8) to Treatment Period (Week 0 to Week 24) <br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
