Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Mean Changes in Count of Generalized Spike-wave Discharges on 24-hour Ambulatory Electroencephalogram (EEG) From Visit 2 to Visit 6 [From Baseline (Day 1) to Visit 6 (Week 6)]
The mean change in the count of generalized spike-wave discharges was presented. Visit 6 (Week 6) was the End of the Titration Period.
- Mean Change in Days With Any Generalized Seizures (Absence, Myoclonic, Clonic, Tonic, Tonic-clonic, Atonic, Partial Evolving to Secondarily Generalized) Per 28 Days From the Baseline Period to the Maintenance Period (Approximately 24 Weeks) [Baseline Period to the Maintenance Period (approximately 24 weeks)]
The mean change in the count of days with generalized seizures was presented.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Mean Changes in Count of 3 Hz Spike-wave Discharges (During Waking Hours) on 24-hour Ambulatory EEG From Visit 2 to Visit 6 [From Baseline (Day 1) to Visit 6 (Week 6)]
The mean change in the count of 3 Hertz (Hz) spike-wave discharges was presented. Visit 6 (Week 6) was the End of the Titration Period.
- Number of Subject Withdrawals Due to Adverse Events From Baseline to End of Study (Approximately 32 Weeks) [From Baseline to End of Study (approximately 32 weeks)]
An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
- Number of Subjects Experiencing at Least 1 Treatment-emergent Adverse Event From Baseline to End of Study (Approximately 32 Weeks) [From Baseline to End of Study (approximately 32 weeks)]
An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
