Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Subject has diagnosis of partial seizures with/without secondary generalization, supported by:

* Observed ictal events consistent with partial seizures with/without secondary generalization; Documented by reliable observers
* 1 of following 3:

* EEG at some time in past demonstrating focal abnormalities consistent with partial seizures
* If the EEG is inconclusive or does not support partial seizures, then an MRI/CT will be done
* If the MRI/CT fails to support a diagnosis of partial seizures, the subject may still qualify based on the principal Investigator's clinical diagnosis
* Subject weighs at least 15 kg (33 lbs).
* Parent/caregiver is able to keep an accurate seizure diary.

Exclusion Criteria

* Has had status epilepticus in the past 3 months prior to Screening
* Has a history of any of: Cardiac (including clinically important abnormality on ECG); Renal; Psychiatric (including psychosurgery); Oncologic; Endocrine; Metabolic; Pancreatic; Hepatic disease (including clinical/serological history of hepatitis); Urea cycle disorder
* Has: Expanding CNS neoplasm; Active CNS infection; Demyelinating disease; Degenerative neurological disease; Progressive encephalopathy; or any Progressive CNS disease
* Has platelet count less than or equal to 100,000/mcL
* Has blood chemistry ALT/AST value(s) greater than or equal to 2 times upper limit of normal at screening
* Requires anticoagulant drug therapy
* Receiving systemic chemotherapy
* Requires treatment with aspirin
* Subject is pregnant
* Has been on ketogenic diet within 30 days prior to screening
* Considered by investigator to be non-responder to valproate for treatment of epilepsy (e.g., Despite adequate trial with serum concentrations of 60 mcg/mL or greater, subject continues to have inadequate seizure control)
