Group Intervention Description Levetiracetam Levetiracetam Levetiracetam 500 mg/day to 3000 mg/day , tablets twice daily (morning and evening orally) during the study period (until the time of approval granted).
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Occurrence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events During the Study Period (Until the Time of Approval Granted) During the study period from Visit 1 (Week 0) to the Follow-up Visit (up to Month 60) until the time of approval granted An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical product.
Occurrence of treatment-emergent AEs is reported by the number of subjects with at least one treatment-emergent AE.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in N01221 [NCT00280696] in Simple Partial Seizure Frequency Per Week During the First 16-week Period in This Study Baseline in N01221 [NCT00280696], the First 16-week Evaluation Period from Visit 1 (Week 0) to Visit 5 (Week 16) in this study Change in simple partial seizure frequency is given as a percent reduction computed as:
\[ Weekly simple partial seizure frequency (Baseline)- Weekly simple partial seizure frequency (Evaluation Period)\]/ \[Weekly simple partial seizure frequency (Baseline)\] x 100.
Positive values in percent reduction means that the value has decreased from Baseline during the first 16-week Period.
Partial (Type I) seizures can be classified into one of the following three groups: Simple partial seizures, Complex partial seizures, Partial seizures evolving to secondarily generalized seizures.Response Status (Patients With a Percent Reduction in Partial Seizure Frequency of at Least 50% During the First 16-week Period in This Study From Baseline in N01221) Baseline in N01221 [NCT00280696], the First 16-week Evaluation Period from Visit 1 (Week 0) to Visit 5 (Week 16) in this study The percent reduction from Baseline was computed as:
\[ Weekly seizure frequency (Baseline)- Weekly seizure frequency (Evaluation Period)\]/ \[Weekly seizure frequency (Baseline)\] x 100.
Responders are those patients with a percent reduction in partial seizure frequency of at least 50% from Baseline to first Evaluation Period in partial seizure frequency per week.
Partial (Type I) seizures can be classified into one of the following three groups: Simple partial seizures, Complex partial seizures, Partial seizures evolving to secondarily generalized seizures.Change From Baseline in N01221 [NCT00280696] in Partial (Type 1) Seizure Frequency Per Week During the First 16-week Period in This Study Baseline in N01221 [NCT00280696], the First 16-week Evaluation Period from Visit 1 (Week 0) to Visit 5 (Week 16) in this study The change in partial (type 1) seizure frequency from Baseline is given as a percent reduction computed as:
\[ Weekly partial seizure frequency (Baseline)- Weekly partial seizure frequency (Evaluation Period)\]/ \[Weekly partial seizure frequency (Baseline)\] x 100.
Positive values in percent reduction means that the value has decreased from Baseline during the first 16-week Period.
Partial (Type I) seizures can be classified into one of the following three groups: Simple partial seizures, Complex partial seizures, Partial seizures evolving to secondarily generalized seizures.Seizure Frequency Per Week in Partial Seizures During the First 16-week Period in This Study First 16-week Evaluation Period from Visit 1 (Week 0) to Visit 5 ( Week 16) Partial (Type I) seizures can be classified into one of the following three groups: Simple partial seizures, Complex partial seizures, Partial seizures evolving to secondarily generalized seizures.
Change From Baseline in N01221 [NCT00280696] in Complex Partial Seizure Frequency Per Week During the First 16-week Period in This Study Baseline in N01221 [NCT00280696], the First 16-week Evaluation Period from Visit 1 (Week 0) to Visit 5 (Week 16) in this study Change in complex partial seizure frequency is given as a percent reduction computed as:
\[ Weekly complex partial seizure frequency (Baseline)- Weekly complex partial seizure frequency (Evaluation Period)\]/ \[Weekly complex partial seizure frequency (Baseline)\] x 100.
Positive values in percent reduction means that the value has decreased from Baseline during the first 16-week Period.
Partial (Type I) seizures can be classified into one of the following three groups: Simple partial seizures, Complex partial seizures, Partial seizures evolving to secondarily generalized seizures.Change From Baseline in N01221 [NCT00280696] in Simple and Complex Partial Seizure Frequency Per Week During the First 16-week Period in This Study Baseline in N01221 [NCT00280696], the First 16-week Evaluation Period from Visit 1 (Week 0) to Visit 5 (Week 16) in this study Change in simple and complex partial seizure frequency is given as a percent reduction computed as (simple and complex partial seizure frequency := A):
\[ Weekly A (Baseline)- Weekly A (Evaluation Period)\]/ \[Weekly A (Baseline)\] x 100.
Positive values in percent reduction means that the value has decreased from Baseline during the first 16-week Period.
Partial (Type I) seizures can be classified into one of the following three groups: Simple partial seizures, Complex partial seizures, Partial seizures evolving to secondarily generalized seizures.Change From Baseline in N01221 [NCT00280696] in Secondary Generalized Seizure Frequency Per Week During the First 16-week Period in This Study Baseline in N01221 [NCT00280696], the First 16-week Evaluation Period from Visit 1 (Week 0) to Visit 5 (Week 16) in this study Change in secondary generalized seizure frequency is given as a percent reduction computed as:
\[ Weekly sec. generalized seizure frequency (Baseline)- Weekly sec. generalized seizure frequency (Evaluation Period)\]/ \[Weekly sec. generalized seizure frequency (Baseline)\] x 100.
Positive values in reduction means the value decreased from Baseline during the first 16-week Period.
Secondary generalized seizures belong to one of the 3 groups:
* Simple partial sz evolving to gen sz
* Complex partial sz evolving to gen sz
* Simple partial sz evolving to Complex partial sz evolving to gen szChange From Baseline in N01221 [NCT00280696] in Other Types of Seizure Frequency Per Week During the First 16-week Period in This Study Baseline in N01221 [NCT00280696], the First 16-week Evaluation Period from Visit 1 (Week 0) to Visit 5 (Week 16) in this study Change in other types of seizure frequency is given as a percent reduction computed as (other types of seizure frequency:= B):
\[ Weekly B (Baseline)- Weekly B (Evaluation Period)\]/ \[Weekly B (Baseline)\] x 100.
Positive values in percent reduction means that the value has decreased from Baseline during the first 16-week Period.
Other types of Seizures are all seizures except Partial Seizures (Type 1).
