Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)	An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent AEs were events which occurred between first dose of study drug and up to end of study (up to Day 25) that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. AEs included both serious and non-serious adverse events.	Day 1 up to End of study (EOS) (maximum Day 25)
Other	Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)	Treatment-related AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent AEs were events which occurred between first dose of study drug and up to end of study (up to Day 25) that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. Relatedness to drug was assessed by the investigator. AEs included both serious and non-serious adverse events.	Day 1 up to EOS (maximum Day 25)
Other	Number of Adverse Events by Severity	An AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. AEs were classified according to the severity in 3 categories a) mild: AEs does not interfere with participant's usual function b) moderate: AEs interferes to some extent with participant's usual function c) severe: AEs interferes significantly with participant's usual function.	Day 1 up to EOS (maximum Day 25)
Other	Number of Participants With Laboratory Test Abnormalities	Abnormality Criteria: hemoglobin,hematocrit,red blood cells(RBC)count:<0.8*lower limit of normal[LLN],platelets:<0.5*LLN/>1.75*upper limit of normal[ULN]; leukocytes:<0.6*LLN/>1.5*ULN; lymphocytes,neutrophils, total protein,albumin, tetraiodothyronine,thyroid stimulating hormone:<0.8*LLN/>1.2*ULN; basophils,eosinophils,monocytes:>1.2*ULN; prothrombin [PT],PT international ratio:>1.1*ULN; aspartate aminotransferase,alanine aminotransferase,alkaline phosphatase,gamma glutamyl transferase:>0.3*ULN; bilirubin:>1.5*ULN; blood urea nitrogen,creatinine, cholesterol,triglycerides:>1.3*ULN; sodium: <0.95*LLN/>1.05*ULN; potassium,chloride,calcium,bicarbonate:<0.9*LLN/>1.1*ULN; glucose fasting:<0.6*LLN/>1.5*ULN; creatine kinase:>2*ULN;urine glucose,ketone,protein:>=1;urine WBC,RBC:>= 20/High Power Field[HPF]; urine casts,hyaline casts:>1/Low Power Field; urine bacteria:>20/HPF.	From Baseline up to EOS (maximum Day 25)
Other	Number of Participants With Vital Signs Abnormalities	Criteria for abnormalities in vital signs included: sitting/supine systolic blood pressure (SBP) values: maximum increase and decrease of greater than or equal to (>=) 30 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) from baseline; sitting/supine diastolic blood pressure (DBP) value: maximum increase and decrease of >=20 mmHg from baseline.	From Baseline (BL) up to EOS (maximum Day 25)
Other	Percentage of Participants With Abnormal Physical Examination Findings at Screening and End of Study	Physical examinations evaluated the following body systems/organs: abdomen; ears; extremities; eyes; general appearance; head; heart; lungs; lymph nodes; mouth; musculoskeletal; nose; skin and throat. Abnormalities in physical examination were based on investigator's discretion.	Screening and EOS (maximum Day 25)
Other	Percentage of Participants With Abnormal Neurological Examination Findings at Baseline and End of Study	Neurological examinations included: coordination; cranial nerve function (CNF); gait and station; level of consciousness (LOC); lower and upper extremity sensation; muscle strength; muscle tone; nystagmus; reflexes and speech. Abnormalities in neurological examination were based on investigator's discretion and also, some components of the neurological examination were not done for certain participants due to participant age or significant developmental impairment. Only those categories of neurological examination in which at least 10% of participants had an abnormality in any treatment group at any time point were reported in this outcome measure.	Baseline (BL) and EOS (maximum Day 25)
Other	Number of Participants With Electrocardiogram (ECG) Abnormalities	Criteria for abnormalities in ECG findings: 1) Time from ECG Q wave to the end of the S wave corresponding to ventricle depolarization (QRS complex): >=140 milliseconds (msec); 2) The interval between the start of the P wave and the start of the QRS complex, corresponding to the time between the onset of the atrial depolarization and onset of ventricular depolarization (PR interval): >=200 msec; 3) Time from ECG Q wave to the end of the T wave corresponding to electrical systole corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula (QTCF interval): absolute value 450 to <480 msec, 480 to <500 msec, >=500 msec; 4) Maximum QT interval: >=500 msec; 5) Maximum QTCB interval (Bazett's correction): 450 to< 480 msec, 480 to <500 msec, >=500 msec. Only those categories of ECG abnormalities in which participants were found abnormal (maximum QTCB interval 450-<480 msec), were reported in this outcome measure.	From screening up to EOS (maximum Day 25)
Primary	Log Transformed 24-Hour Seizure Rate for All Partial Onset Seizures During the Double-Blind Treatment Phase	All partial onset seizures experienced during treatment phase were recorded by central reader during the 48 to 72 hour video-electroencephalogram (EEG). Double Blind 24 hour EEG seizure rate for all partial onset seizures = ([Number of seizures in double blind 48 to 72 hour EEG assessment] divided by [number of hours of video-EEG monitoring])*24. The EEG assessment was done at the end of the fixed dose treatment. For log-transformation, the quantity 1 was added to the double blind 24 hour EEG seizure rate for all participants to account for any possible "0" seizure incidence. This resulted in final calculation as: log transformed (double-blind 24-hour EEG seizure rate + 1).	Day 1 up to Day 14
Secondary	Responder Rate: Percentage of Participants With at Least 50 Percent (%) or Greater Reduction From Baseline in 24-Hour Seizure Rate for All Partial Onset Seizures During the Double-Blind Treatment Phase	Responder Rate was defined as percentage of participants who had a 50% or greater reduction from baseline in 24-hour seizure rate during the double-blind treatment phase. Double Blind 24 hour EEG seizure rate for all partial onset seizures = ([Number of seizures in double blind 48 to 72 hour EEG assessment] divided by [number of hours of video-EEG monitoring])*24. The EEG assessment was done at the end of the fixed dose treatment.	Day 1 up to Day 14
