Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. 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

  26. 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.

  27. 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

Pre-assignment Detail An 8-week baseline observation phase began immediately after the screening visit. Througout the observation phase the participants continued their current anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) at the prescribed dosage, eligibility was re-evaluated at Week -4 and Week 0, and the participants recorded all seizures in daily seizure diaries.
Arm/Group Title Pregabalin 165 mg Pregabalin 330 mg Placebo
Arm/Group Description After the 2-week dose escalation phase, the participants received 165 mg of pregabalin once a day during the 12-week double-blind maintenance phase. Afterwards, the study medication was tapered for one week. The tablets were to be taken orally, within 1 hour (hr) after the evening meal. The medication must have been taken intact and not bitten, chewed, cut, or otherwise altered prior to swallowing. After the 2-week dose escalation phase, the participants received 330 mg of pregabalin once a day during the 12-week double-blind maintenance phase. Afterwards, the study medication was tapered for one week. The tablets were to be taken orally, within 1 hr after the evening meal. The medication must have been taken intact and not bitten, chewed, cut, or otherwise altered prior to swallowing. After the 2-week dose escalation phase, the participants received placebo once a day during the 12-week double-blind maintenance phase. Afterwards, the study medication was tapered for one week.

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.

Title Change From Baseline in Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale (MOS-SS) - Sleep Problems Index II Score at Week 14
Description Participant-rated 12-item questionnaire to assess key constructs of sleep over the past week. 7 subscales: sleep disturbance, snoring, awakened short of breath or with headache, sleep adequacy, and somnolence (range:0-100); sleep quantity (range:0-24), and optimal sleep (yes: 1, no: 0). 6 and 9 item index measures of sleep disturbance were constructed to provide composite scores. Scores are transformed (actual raw score minus lowest possible score divided by possible raw score range * 100); total score range: 0 to 100; higher score = greater intensity of attribute.
