- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Log Transformed (Loge) 28-day Seizure Rate for All Partial Onset Seizures During the Double-blind Treatment Phase Week 0 to Week 14 Seizures were recorded and documented in a daily Seizure Diary by the participants, family member, caregiver, or legal guardian. Simple partial seizures without a visible motor component (ie, lacking visible movements during the seizure) were not counted toward eligibility, or in the primary or secondary efficacy analyses. Natural logarithm of the 28-day seizure rate was reported in this outcome measure.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants With a ≥50% Reduction in the 28-day Partial Seizure Rate From Baseline During the Double-blind Treatment Phase Week 0 to Week 14 Seizures were recorded and documented in a daily Seizure Diary by the participants, family member, caregiver, or legal guardian. Simple partial seizures without a visible motor component (ie, lacking visible movements during the seizure) were not counted toward eligibility, or in the primary or secondary efficacy analyses. Participants who had a ≥50% reduction in the 28-day partial seizure rate from baseline were defined as a responder, otherwise they were default as a non-responder.

Change From Baseline in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale - Anxiety (HADS-A) Total Score at Week 14 Baseline, Week 14 HADS: participant rated questionnaire with 2 subscales. HADS-A assesses state of generalized anxiety (anxious mood, restlessness, anxious thoughts, panic attacks); HADS-D assesses state of lost interest and diminished pleasure response (lowering of hedonic tone). Each subscale comprised of 7 items with range 0 (no presence of anxiety or depression) to 3 (severe feeling of anxiety or depression). Total score 0 to 21 for each subscale; higher score indicates greater severity of anxiety and depression symptoms.

Percent of Participants Reporting Optimal Sleep on the MOS-SS - Optimal Sleep Subscale Week 14 Optimal sleep was considered between 7 to 8 hours of average sleep per night inclusive, while average sleep less than or greater than the 7 to 8 hour of average sleep per night was non-optimal.
Benefit, Satisfaction, and Willingness to Continue Measure (BSW): Benefit From Treatment Question Week 14 The BSW consisted of 3 single-item measures designed to capture the participant's perception of the effect of treatment in terms of the relative benefit, their satisfaction, and their intention or willingness to continue on therapy. The BSW was read aloud to the participant by the investigator or designated center personnel and then was given to the participant to complete independently.

Percentage of Participants With New or Intensified Physical Examination Findings During the Double-blind Treatment Phase Day 1 to Week 15 Physical examinations included general appearance (including hight at baseline), vital sign (sitting heart rate and sitting blood pressure), weight, skin (examination for the presence of rash), HEENT (examinatin of head, eyes, ears, nose and throat), chest ausculation of lung fields), cardiovascular (ausculatin of heart sounds (S1 and S2) and for the presence of murmurs, gallops, or rubs), gastrointestinal (abdominal rigidity and tenderness), an extremities (e.g. edema). Clinically significant physical examination abnormalities were considered as adverse events based on investigator's discretion.
Percentage of Participants With New or Intensified Neurological Examination Findings During the Double-blind Treatment Phase Day 1 to Week 15 Neurological examinations included level of consciousness, mental status, cranial nerve assessment, muscle strength, reflexes, pin prick and vibratory sensation (the latter using a 128-Hz tuning fork), coordination and gait.
Percentage of Participants With Self-injurious or Suicidal Ideation or Behavior on Columbia Classification Algorithm of Suicide Assessment (C-CASA) Week -8 (Screening), Week 0 (Baseline), and Week 14 (double-blind treatment phase) C-CASA is described as a standardized suicidal rating system. The C-CASA has eight categories (4 suicidal events: completed suicide, suicide attempt, preparatory act toward imminent suicidal behavior (PAISB), and suicidal ideation; 2 nonsuicidal events: self-injurious behavior, no suicidal intent (SIB-NSI) and other no deliberate self-harm, and 2 indeterminate or potentially suicidal events: self-injurious behavior, suicidal intent unknown and not enough information) that distinguish suicidal events from nonsuicidal events and indeterminate or potentially suicidal events.
Percentage of Participants With a Relevant Increase in Sitting Blood Pressure (BP) From Baseline During the Double-blind Treatment Phase Day 1 to Week 15 Physical examinations included general appearance (including hight at baseline), vital sign (sitting heart rate and sitting blood pressure), weight, skin (examination for the presence of rash), HEENT (examinatin of head, eyes, ears, nose and throat), chest (ausculation of lung fields), cardiovascular (ausculatin of heart sounds (S1 and S2) and for the presence of murmurs, gallops, or rubs), gastrointestinal(abdominal rigidity and tenderness), an extremities (e.g. edema).
Percentage of Participants With Corrected QT (QTc) Interval Greater Than or Equal to 450 ms Week 15 The original ECG was reviewed by the investigator and kept on site as part of source documentation. A central ECG reader was also used for this study. QT interval corrected using the Fridericia formula (QTcF) and QT interval corrected using the Bazett's formula (QTcB) were calculated.
Percentage of Participants With Relevant ECG Interval-increases From Baseline During the Double-blind Treatment Phase Week 15 The original ECG was reviewed by the investigator and kept on site as part of source documentation. A central ECG reader was also used for this study. 25/50% represents ≥25% or ≥50% increase over baseline respectively, based on cut points. Cut points are 100 ms for QRS and 200 ms for PR.
Percentage of Participants With Laboratory Test Abnormalities During the Study Day 1 to Week 15 Laboratory samples in hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis were analyzed by a cental laboratory. Any laboratory value that was identified as clinically significant was reported as an AE. LLN: Lower limit of normal, ULN: Uper limit of normal, RBC: Red Blood Cell, WBC: White Blood Cell, AST: Aspartate Aminotransferase, ALT: Alanine Aminotransferase, BUN: Blood Urea Nitrogen
