Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percentage Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency Per Week of Partial Onset Seizures (Type I) During the Up-titration Period

Time Frame: During the Up-titration Period (Week 5 to Week 12), compared to Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4)

Calculated as (7-day seizure frequency during the up-titration period) - (7-day seizure frequency during the Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4)), divided by the 7-day seizure frequency during the Baseline Period with this quantity multiplied by 100. A negative value in percent change from Baseline indicates a decrease in partial onset seizure frequency from Baseline. The duration of the Up-Titration Period was 8 weeks (Visit 3/Week 5 to Visit 7/Week 12).

Secondary Outcomes

  • Percentage Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency Per Week for All Seizure Types (Types I+II+III) Overall in the Up-titration Period(During the Up-Titration Period (Week 5 to Week 12), compared to Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4))
  • Seizure Frequency Per Week for Partial Onset Seizure (Type I) Overall in the Up-titration Period(During the Up-Titration Period (Week 5 to Week 12))
  • Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency Per Week for Partial Onset Seizures (Type I) Overall in the Down-titration Period(During the Down-Titration Period (Week 13 to Week 15), compared to Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4))
  • Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency Per Week for All Seizure Types (Types I + II + III) Overall in the Down-titration Period(Week 13 to Week 15, compared to Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4))
  • Percentage Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency Per Week of Partial Onset Seizures (Type I) by Visit Over the Treatment Period (Up-titration + Down-titration)(During the Treatment Period (Week 5 to Week 15), compared to Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4))
  • Seizure Frequency Per Week for Partial Onset Seizure (Type I) Overall in the Down-titration Period(During the Down-Titration Period (Week 13 to Week 15))
  • Seizure Frequency Per Week for All Seizure Types (Type I+II+III) by Visit Over the Treatment Period(During the Treatment Period (Week 5 to Week 15))
  • Responder Rate in Partial Onset Seizures (Type I) Over the Up-titration Period(Week 12, compared to Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4))
  • Percentage of Participants With Categorized Response to the Treatment in Partial Onset Seizures (Type I) Over the Up-titration Period(Week 12, compared to Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4))
  • Percentage Change From Baseline in Seizure-free Days Per Week Over the Up-titration Period(Week 5 to Week 12, compared to Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4))
  • Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency Per Week for All Seizure Types (Types I+II +III) Overall in the Up-titration Period(Week 5 to Week 12, compared to Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4))
  • Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency Per Week for Partial Onset Seizures (Type I) by Visit Over the Treatment Period (Up-titration + Down-titration)(Week 5 to Week 15, compared to Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4))
  • Percentage Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency Per Week for Partial Onset Seizures (Type I) Overall in the Down-titration Period(During the Down-Titration Period (Week 13 to Week 15), compared to Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4))
  • Seizure Frequency Per Week for Partial Onset Seizures (Type I) by Visit Over the Treatment Period(During the Treatment Period (Week 5 to Week 15))
  • Seizure Frequency Per Week for Partial Onset Seizure (Type I) Overall in the Treatment Period(During the Treatment Period (Week 5 to Week 15))
  • Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency Per Week for Partial Onset Seizures (Type I) During the Up-titration Period(Week 5 to Week 12, compared to Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4))
  • Percentage Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency Per Week for All Seizure Types (Types I+II+III) by Visit Over the Treatment Period (Up-titration + Down-titration)(During the Treatment Period (Week 5 to Week 15), compared to Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4))
  • Percentage Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency Per Week for All Seizure Types (Types I+II+III) Overall in the Down-titration Period(During the Down-Titration Period (Week 13 to Week 15), compared to Baseline Period (Week 1 to Week 4))
  • Seizure Frequency Per Week for All Seizure Types (Type I+II+III) Overall in the Treatment Period(During the Treatment Period (Week 5 to Week 15))
