Changes in mean vEEG measures (including, but not limited to, background frequency, slowing, epileptiform activity, sleep architecture, and seizures) will be calculated Week 2, Week 42
Secondary Change from baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) score (Confirmatory Phase) The CGI-S assesses the clinician's impression of the participant's current epilepsy symptoms. The clinician should use his/her total clinical experience with this patient population and rate the current severity of the participant's symptoms on a 7-point scale from 1 (Normal, not at all affected) to 7 (Among the most extremely affected patients) 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks, 60 weeks
Secondary Change from baseline in Caregiver Global Impression-Severity (CgGI-S) score (Confirmatory Phase) The CgGI-S assesses the caregiver's impression of the participant's current epilepsy symptoms. The caregiver will rate the current severity of the participant's symptoms on a 7-point scale from 1 (Normal, not at all affected) to 7 (Extremely affected) 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks, 60 weeks
Secondary Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) score (Confirmatory Phase) The CGI-I assesses the participant's improvement (or worsening). The clinician is required to assess the participant's condition relative to Baseline (Day 1) on a 7-point scale from 1 (Very much improved) to 7 (Very much worse). 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks, 60 weeks
Secondary Caregiver Global Impression-Improvement (CgGI-I) score (Confirmatory Phase) The CgGI-I assesses the participant's improvement (or worsening). The caregiver is required to assess the participant's condition relative to Baseline (Day 1) on a 7-point scale from 1 (Very much improved) to 7 (Very much worse). 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks, 60 weeks
Secondary Developmental milestones (Confirmatory Phase) Developmental milestones will be assessed using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development - Fourth Edition (Bayley-4) domain and subtest scores or the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scales of Intelligence - Fourth Edition (WPPSI-IV). The Bayley-4 is a standardized neurodevelopmental assessment measure used by clinicians to evaluate key domains in early childhood development for individuals between 16 days and 42 months after birth. Each domain includes a variable number of items for assessing development. Each item is scored as a 0, 1, or 2 based on the child's response to the rater's prompt or instruction. Higher scores on the Bayley-4 indicate more advanced development. The WPPSI-IV is a comprehensive test used to assess cognitive function in children from the age of 2 years 6 months to 7 years 7 months. Higher scores on the WPPSI-IV indicate more advanced development. 36 weeks
Secondary Quality of life as assessed by Quality of Life Inventory-Disability (Confirmatory Phase) The QI-Disability is a parent-report measure for children with intellectual disabilities. Parents report on engagement in and enjoyment of activities and behaviors related to health and well-being, feelings and emotions, family and friends, activities and the outdoors, and daily life. 32 items are rated on a 5-point scale from 0 (Never) to 4 (Very often). Higher scores on the QI-Disability indicate more frequent and more enjoyable behavior and activity. 36 weeks
Secondary Behavior as assessed by Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale-3rd edition (Vineland-3; Confirmatory Phase) The Vineland-3 is a clinician-assessed measure of adaptive behavior in individuals with intellectual disabilities using information obtained via interview of a caregiver or parent. Individuals are assessed on frequency of adaptive behaviors in the following domains: communication, daily living skills, socialization, and motor skills. Each domain has a variable number of items. Each item is scored on a 2 or 3-point scale from 0 (Never) to 2 (Usually). Higher scores indicate more frequent behaviors. 36 weeks
Secondary Behavior as assessed by Aberrant Behaviors Checklist-2nd edition (ABC-2; Confirmatory Phase) The ABC-2 is a clinician-assessed rating scale consisting of 58 items that measure the severity of a range of problem behaviors commonly observed in individuals with intellectual disabilities, including irritability, social withdrawal, stereotypic behavior, hyperactivity, and inappropriate speech. Items are rated on a 4-point scale from 0 (not at all a problem) to 3 (the problem is severe in degree). Higher scores indicate more aberrant behaviors. 36 weeks
Secondary Sleep as assessed by Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (Confirmatory Phase) The parent-reported Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC) is a 26-item scale designed to categorize sleep disorders in children. In addition to an overall score, the instrument provides 5 sub-scores for the following: disorders of initiating and maintaining sleep, sleep breathing disorders, disorders of arousal or sleep-wake transition disorders, disorders of excessive somnolence, and sleep hyperhidrosis. Most items are scored on a 5-point scale from 1 (Never) to 5 (Always). The amount of time spent asleep and the length of time taken to fall asleep is also used in calculating the score. Higher scores on the SDSC indicate more sleep disturbances. 36 weeks
