What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) During the Study Period
Time Frame: Visit 1 through last Evaluation Period, Down-Titration, or Post-Treatment Periods (up to 11 years)
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) are any untoward medical incidence in a subject during administered study treatment, whether or not these events are related to study treatment.
Visit 1 through last Evaluation Period, Down-Titration, or Post-Treatment Periods (up to 11 years)
Percentage of Participants Who Withdrew Due to an Adverse Event (AE) During the Study Period
Time Frame: Visit 1 through last Evaluation Period, Down-Titration, or Post-Treatment Periods (up to 11 years)
Adverse Events (AE) are any untoward medical incidence in a subject during administered study treatment, whether or not these events are related to study treatment.
Visit 1 through last Evaluation Period, Down-Titration, or Post-Treatment Periods (up to 11 years)
Percentage of Participants With a Serious Adverse Event (SAE) During the Study Period
Time Frame: Visit 1 through last Evaluation Period, Down-Titration, or Post-Treatment Periods (up to 11 years)
A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any untoward medical incidence that occurs at any dose.
Visit 1 through last Evaluation Period, Down-Titration, or Post-Treatment Periods (up to 11 years)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Partial Onset Seizure (POS) (Type I) Frequency Per 28 Days During the Evaluation Period
Time Frame: From Baseline of the previous study to the Evaluation Period (up to 11 years)

Baseline is the Baseline from subject's previous study of enrollment period. N01193 [NCT00175825], N01252 [NCT00490035], N01253 [NCT00464269], N01254 [NCT00504881].

A 28 day Type 1 seizure frequency is the total number of Type 1 seizures divided by the total number of days evaluated multiplied by 28.

From Baseline of the previous study to the Evaluation Period (up to 11 years)
Percent Change in Partial Onset Seizure (POS) (Type I) Frequency Per 28 Days From Baseline of the Previous Study to the Evaluation Period
Time Frame: From Baseline of the previous study to the Evaluation Period (up to 11 years)

The percent change from the previous study baselines, in Partial Onset Seizure (POS) (Type I) frequency per 28 days is defined as:

(the value at the previous study baselines) minus (the value at each time-points during the evaluation period) divided by the value at the previous study baselines.

From Baseline of the previous study to the Evaluation Period (up to 11 years)
Percentage of Participants With Response for Partial Onset Seizure (POS) (Type I) Frequency Over the Evaluation Period
Time Frame: From Baseline of the previous study to the Evaluation Period (up to 11 years)
A responder is defined as a subject with a higher than or equal to (>=) 50 % change in seizure frequency from Baseline period of the previous study.
From Baseline of the previous study to the Evaluation Period (up to 11 years)
