Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Clinical Global Impression of Tolerability (CGIT)Day 28

The investigator's global impressions of the tolerability of the study treatment was based on a five point scale: 1 - very good, 2 - good, 3 - moderate, 4 - poor, and 5 - very poor.

Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Area Under the Curve (AUC)(0-24hr) of E2007Day 1 and Day 14

Standard pharmacokinetic parameters for E2007 were derived from plasma drug concentrations in epileptic participants. A measure of systemic drug exposure over 24 hours, which is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples and measuring the concentrations of drug in each sample.

Number of participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)From administration of first dose of study drug up until 42 days.

The TEAEs were defined as those Adverse Events (AEs) that start on or after the first dose of the treatment until the end of the study. AEs were classified by the investigator as 'not related', 'possibly related' or 'probably related'.

Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Cmax (Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration) of E2007Day 1 and Day 14

Standard pharmacokinetic parameters for E2007 were derived from plasma drug concentrations in epileptic participants. The maximum concentration of a drug observed after its administration.

Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Tmax (Time to Maximum Concentration) of E2007Day 1 and Day 14

Standard pharmacokinetic parameters for E2007 were derived from plasma drug concentrations in epileptic participants. The time after dosing when a drug attains its highest measurable concentration (Cmax).

Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Css,min (Minimum Steady State Plasma Concentration) of E2007Day 14

Standard pharmacokinetic parameters for E2007 were derived from plasma drug concentrations in epileptic participants. Lowest plasma concentration within a steady-state dosing interval.

Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Cav (Average Plasma Concentration) of E2007Day 14

Standard pharmacokinetic parameters for E2007 were derived from plasma drug concentrations in epileptic participants.

Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Observed Accumulation Ratio (Rac) of E2007Day 14

Standard pharmacokinetic parameters for E2007 were derived from plasma drug concentrations in epileptic participants.

Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Peak-to-trough Fluctuation (PTF) of E2007Day 14

Standard pharmacokinetic parameters for E2007 were derived from plasma drug concentrations in epileptic participants.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from Baseline of Bond and Lader ScaleBaseline, Day 28 and Day 42

The Bond and Lader visual analogue mood scale (VAMS) had a score from 0 - 100; a higher score represented worsening of the participants condition attributed to 3 factors, (1) Anxiety (e.g., calmness), (2) Sedation (e.g., alertness, (3) Dysphoria (e.g., contentedness). The change was visit minus baseline.

Change from Baseline of Peak Saccadic Velocity (PSV)Baseline, Day 28, Day 42

Saccadic velocity is the rate of eye movement in response to stimulus. The saccadic eye movement was used to allow comparison of any sedative effects seen.

Percent Change from Baseline of Failed SaccadesBaseline, Day 28, Day 42

Failed saccades is stimulus resulting in no eye movement above a defined threshold within a specified time.
