Measure
Ganaxolone
Participants were administered a maximum dose of 54 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg)/day ganaxolone oral suspension. The investigator could adjust (increase or decrease) the dose of ganaxolone by 3 mg/kg three times a day (total daily dose adjustment = 9 mg/kg) until the optimal dose for efficacy and tolerability was achieved

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Weeks 4 through Week 96

Population: ITT Population included all participants who received at least 1 dose of open-label study medication. Only those participants with data available at the indicated time point were analyzed.

Clinical spasms were determined by video-electroencephalography (VEEG). The number of participants with spasm-free duration have been presented.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 4 through Week 32

Population: ITT Population. Only those participants with data available at the indicated time point were analyzed.

Infantile spasms that come one after another in a cluster and lasts several minutes are called Spasm Clusters. Spasm clusters were determined by a 24-hour video-electroencephalography (vEEG). Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the Day 0 assessment prior to ganaxolone dosing in Protocol 1042-0500.

Individual Spasm are seizures that may last only a second or two and were determined by a 24-hour video-electroencephalography (vEEG). Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the Day 0 assessment prior to ganaxolone dosing in Protocol 1042-0500.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 4 through Week 32

Population: ITT population. Only those participants with data available at the indicated time point were analyzed.

Caregiver global assessment of seizure severity and response to treatment rated the participants' based on 7 clinical factors: seizure frequency, duration, and intensity; adverse experiences; social, intellectual, and motor functioning. Using a 7-point scale (\[1\] marked improvement, \[2\] moderate improvement, \[3\] slight improvement, \[4\] no change from baseline, \[5\] slight worsening, \[6\] moderate worsening, or \[7\] marked worsening). Higher score indicated worse symptoms. The assessment compared the participants' current status to their condition prior to initiating study medication.

Timeframe: Week 4 through Week 32

Population: ITT Population. Only those participants with data available at the indicated time point were analyzed.

Spasm-free duration is defined as total number of spasm-free days recorded in the spasm/seizure diary. Parents/Guardians or nursing staff maintained a spasm/seizure diary to record the number and type of seizures each day, including spasms, throughout the entire study. The number of participants with spasm-free duration of at least 24 hours have been presented.

Denver-II Developmental Test measures a child's development in several areas:Personal-Social,Fine Motor-Adaptive,Language,and Gross Motor,from birth to 6 years old.It consists of 125 items that are organized into subscales and scored as pass,fail,or refused.To evaluate a child's progress,test compares their performance to a normative sample of children of same age.For each item,age at which 90% of children in normative sample pass it is determined.Derived score for each subscale is sum of item scores and represents difference between child's chronological age and age at which 90% of children in normative sample pass the items in that subscale.A higher derived score on a subscale indicates better performance on items in that subscale relative to other children of same age who have taken the test.Among subscales,Personal-Social subscale ranges from -16 months to 24 months;others range from - 12 months to 24 months.All subscales have a population mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 3.

Percentage of total spasm-free days during a visit period is defined as total number of spasm free days as recorded in the Seizure Diary/ total number of days during that period, multiplied by 100. Percentage of cumulative total spasm-free days during a visit period is defined as sum of total number of spasm-free days during this period as recorded in the Seizure Diary/ total number of days in the treatment period, multiplied by 100.
