Participant Flow

A total of 173 investigational sites in 19 countries (North America, 89 sites; Rest-of-World \[ROW\], 84 sites) screened and enrolled subjects. Of these, 160 sites randomized subjects into the study. Studied period (years): * First subject first visit: 02 December 2008 * Last subject last visit: 12 January 2012 (Part I)

The first period was an 8-week observation baseline period (Week -8 to Week -1) during which subjects were instructed on how to complete the seizure diary. At the end of the 8 week observational baseline period, eligible subjects were randomized in a 1:1:1 allocation ratio to 1 of 3 treatment groups (with a blinded treatment assignment)

Placebo
Matching placebo tablets QD orally
800 mg QD
The study drug was a conventional immediate-release tablet of eslicarbazepine (ESL) and provided as either 400 mg or 800 mg dosage strengths (the 800 mg tablets were not used in North America). The composition was directly proportional between the strengths. The excipients used were standard pharmaceutical excipients of compendial grade, widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. The medication was taken orally.
1200 mg QD
The study drug was a conventional immediate-release tablet of eslicarbazepine (ESL) and provided as either 400 mg or 800 mg dosage strengths (the 800 mg tablets were not used in North America). The composition was directly proportional between the strengths. The excipients used were standard pharmaceutical excipients of compendial grade, widely used in the pharmaceutical industry.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12-week maintenance period (Week 3 to week 14)

Population: Intent-to-treat (ITT) population was the primary population for the analysis of efficacy; ITT included all randomized subjects who received at least one dose of study treatment after randomization and had at least one post-baseline seizure frequency assessment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Week-8 through Week -1) and Maintenance period (Week 3 to week 14)

Population: Intent-to-treat (ITT) population was the primary population for the analysis of efficacy; ITT included all randomized subjects who received at least one dose of study treatment after randomization and had at least one post-baseline seizure frequency assessment.

Subjects who had at least a 50% reduction from baseline in standardized seizure frequency during the maintenance period were classified as responders.
