结局指标

主要结局

The number of observation-periods elapsed from end of study drug titration to the occurrence of a number of “N” seizures in fluoxetine plus treatment as usual versus placebo plus treatment as usual, where N is the individualized number of seizures observed during baseline will be assessed.

次要结局

  • The proportion of patients with 0 seizure during the maintenance periods (16 weeks of maintenance maximum)
  • The impact on behavior will be evaluated by the change in child behavior checklist score
  • Number and nature of adverse events and effects
  • Fluoxetine trough levels will be measured at the end of titration period, visit 1 and end of study visit
  • The impact on behavior will be evaluated by the change in Child Behavior CheckList (CBCL).
  • Proportion of patients with seizure exacerbation (greater intensity) and proportion of patients with new seizure type between baseline and follow-up.
  • Frequency percent change in total seizures and in different seizure types.
