Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

EXPERIMENTAL: Rufinamide
Ralfinamide was administered orally twice daily after breakfast and dinner. Participants on placebo in Study 304 were titrated over to rufinamide within 2 weeks during the Conversion Period. As a general rule, the dose of rufinamide at the end of the Conversion Period was maintained throughout the Maintenance Period.
Drug: Rufinamide
The target dosage is approximately 45 mg/kg/day, taken orally twice a day.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability of Rufinamide
Time Frame: From date of first dose up to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment, up to approximately 2 years 10 months
Safety was assessed by monitoring and recording all adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), clinical laboratory tests, blood pressure, pulse rate, physical examination, and 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as AEs that started on or after the date and time of administration of first dose of test drug, but not later than 30 days after discontinuation from the study, or if the AE was present prior to the administration of the first dose of test drug and increased in National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI CTC version 3.0) grade during the study or 30 days after discontinuation from the study. AEs were considered serious if it resulted in; death, was life-threatening, hospitalization/prolonged hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect.
From date of first dose up to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment, up to approximately 2 years 10 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percent Change in Tonic-Atonic Seizure Frequency From Baseline (Per 28 Days)
Time Frame: Baseline (Observation period in Study 304), Week 12, Week 24, Week 32, Week 40, Week 52 and Week 52 LOCF
The sum of the frequencies of tonic seizures and atonic seizures was defined as the "tonic-atonic seizure frequency". The percent change in tonic-atonic seizure frequency was calculated using the tonic-atonic seizure frequency per 28 days of the Observation Period in Study 304 as the baseline and the tonic-atonic seizure frequency at Weeks 12, 24, 32, 40, 52 and Week 52 Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) as the post-treatment value. Percentage change in tonic - atonic seizure frequency was calculated as follows: [100 x (post-treatment value - baseline)/ baseline]. The frequency of epileptic seizures was recorded in the seizure diary by the recorder. Seizure frequency was counted based on the classification established by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE). The diary recorder monitored the participant and recorded the seizure diary in a consistent manner, and continued these practices throughout the study period.
Baseline (Observation period in Study 304), Week 12, Week 24, Week 32, Week 40, Week 52 and Week 52 LOCF
Percent Change in the Total Seizure Frequency From Baseline (Per 28 Days)
Time Frame: Baseline (Observation period in Study 304), Week 12, Week 24, Week 32, Week 40, Week 52 and Week 52 LOCF
Percent change in the total seizure frequency (per 28 days) was calculated using the total seizure frequency per 28 days of the Observation Period of Study 304 as the baseline and the total seizure frequency per 28 days at Weeks 12, 24, 32, 40, 52 and Week 52 LOCF as the post-treatment value. Percentage change in total seizure frequency was calculated as follows: [100 x (post-treatment value - baseline)/ baseline].
Baseline (Observation period in Study 304), Week 12, Week 24, Week 32, Week 40, Week 52 and Week 52 LOCF
Percent Change in the Frequency of Seizures Other Than Tonic-Atonic Seizures
Time Frame: Baseline (Observation period in Study 304), Week 12, Week 24, Week 32, Week 40, Week 52 and Week 52 LOCF
Percent change in the frequency of seizures other than tonic-atonic seizures (per 28 days) was calculated using the total seizure frequency per 28 days of the Observation Period as the baseline and the total seizure frequency per 28 days of the Weeks, 12, 24, 32, 40, 52 and 52 LOCF as the post-treatment value. Percentage change in total seizure frequency was calculated as follows: [100 x (post-treatment value - baseline)/ baseline]. Seizures analyzed other than tonic-atonic seizures included: Partial seizure frequency, Absence seizure, Atypical absence seizure, Myoclonic seizure, Tonic seizure, Tonic-clonic seizure, Atonic seizure, and Unclassified epileptic seizure. This data was based on the diary data collected for 7 days after each visit. Seizure frequency was counted based on the classification established by the ILAE. The diary recorder monitored the participant and recorded the seizure diary in a consistent manner.
Baseline (Observation period in Study 304), Week 12, Week 24, Week 32, Week 40, Week 52 and Week 52 LOCF
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved 100%, 75%, 50% or 25% Reduction in Tonic-Atonic Seizure Frequency (Responders)
Time Frame: Week 12, Week 24, Week 32, Week 40, Week 52 and Week 52 LOCF
Categorized percent change in Tonic-atonic seizure frequency per 28 Days by visit relative to the baseline (Observation Phase in Study 304) was determined based on the diary data collected for 7 days after each visit. The Efficacy Analysis Set was used.
Week 12, Week 24, Week 32, Week 40, Week 52 and Week 52 LOCF
Percentage of Participants With An Increase In Tonic-Atonic Seizure Frequency
Time Frame: Week 12, Week 24, Week 32, Week 40, Week 52 and Week 52 LOCF
Number of participants with an increase in Tonic-atonic seizure frequency per 28 Days by visit relative to the baseline (Observation Phase in Study 304) was determined based on the diary data collected for 7 days after each visit. The Efficacy Analysis Set was used.
Week 12, Week 24, Week 32, Week 40, Week 52 and Week 52 LOCF
