Measure
Lorazepam
Participants aged between 3 months to below 16 years received single intravenous dose (Dose 1) of 0.05 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) of Lorazepam (up to a maximum dose of 4 mg) on Day 1. Participants aged above 16 years received single intravenous dose of 4 mg of Lorazepam. Participants whose seizures continued or recurred within 10 minutes following the initial dose, an additional dose (Dose 2) of 4 mg (for participants above 16 years of age) or 0.05 mg/kg dose (for participants between 3 months to below 16 years of age) was administered accordingly. Participants were followed up to 7 days after last dose of study drug administration.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 30 minutes post Dose 1

Population: Full analysis set (FAS) included all participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug, excluded those participants whose status epilepticus (SE) or repetitive SE/cluster seizure was determined on the electroencephalography (EEG).

Participants with clinical benefit were defined as participants whose initial seizure stopped within 10 minutes after initial dose (Dose 1) and who continued seizure-free for at least 30 minutes after the completion of initial dose (Dose 1).

Population: Safety analysis set included all participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of study drug to the end of study (Day 12), that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. AEs include both serious and non-serious adverse events.
