Proportion of Participants With Response to Treatment

Participants who had at least 50% reduction in 28-day seizure rate from baseline to the end of the maintenance phase were considered as responders. The 28-day seizure rate was calculated as number of partial seizures in the period divided by difference of number of days in the period and number of missing diary day entries in the period, multiplied by 28.

Participant-rated 12-item questionnaire to assess key constructs of sleep over the past week. 7 subscales: sleep disturbance, snoring, awakened short of breath or with headache, sleep adequacy, and somnolence (range:0-100); sleep quantity (range:0-24), and optimal sleep (yes: 1, no: 0). 6 and 9 item index measures of sleep disturbance were constructed to provide composite scores. Scores are transformed (actual raw score minus lowest possible score divided by possible raw score range * 100); total score range: 0 to 100; higher score = greater intensity of attribute.

Apparent Oral Clearance (CL/F): Multiple-Dose Analysis

Clearance (CL) of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed (F). Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.

Results are normalized to individual participant's Day 8 dose. (NCT00437281)

Number of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) by Severity: Double-blind Treatment

Analysis for severity of AEs was performed separately for double-blind and open-label treatment. AE = any untoward medical occurrence in participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. AEs were classified as mild, moderate and severe based on severity assessment: Mild = no interference with participant's usual function; Moderate = some interference with participant's usual function; Severe = significant interference with participant's usual function. Treatment-emergent events for double-blind treatment included events between baseline and Day 7 that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. Participants may experience more than 1 AE. (NCT00437281)

Percent Change From Baseline in 28-day Seizure Frequency at Week 21.

The seizures were recorded by the participants, by a family member, by a caregiver, or by a legal guardian and documented in a daily seizure diary. Participant's 28-day seizure frequency of all partial seizure was assessed during double blind (TP + MP) phase compared with baseline. Total partial seizure is defined as the total number of (simple partial seizure + complex partial seizure + secondary generalized tonic clonic seizure [SGTC]). (NCT00537940)

Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) Score.

HADS: participant rated questionnaire with 2 subscales. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale - anxiety (HADS-A) assesses state of generalized anxiety (anxious mood, restlessness, anxious thoughts, panic attacks); Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale - depression (HADS-D) assesses state of lost interest and diminished pleasure response (lowering of hedonic tone). Each subscale comprised of 7 items with range 0 (no presence of anxiety or depression) to 3 (severe feeling of anxiety or depression). Total score 0 to 21 for each subscale; higher score indicates greater severity of anxiety and depression symptoms. (NCT00537940)

Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale (MOS-SS) Score.

Participant-rated 12-item questionnaire to assess constructs of sleep over past week; 7 subscales: sleep disturbance, snoring, awakened short of breath, sleep adequacy, somnolence (range:0-100); sleep quantity (range:0-24), optimal sleep (yes/no), and 9 item index measures of sleep disturbance provide composite scores: sleep problem summary, overall sleep problem. Except adequacy, optimal sleep and quantity, higher scores=more impairment. Scores transformed (actual raw score [RS] minus lowest possible score divided by possible RS range*100); total score range:0-100; higher score=more intensity of attribute. (NCT00537940)

Participants who had at least 75% reduction in seizure frequency from Baseline to double-blind treatment (TP + MP) were considered as 75% responders. If percent change from baseline <= -75 then 75% responder rate = 1 (yes) otherwise responder rate = 0 (no). Total partial seizure is defined as the total number of (simple partial seizure + complex partial seizure + SGTC). (NCT00537940)

"Compare the maximum neuropathic pain score between pregabalin and placebo within cycle 1 and across the 2 cycles.~The ID Pain scale (also know as the Identify Pain scale) is a 6-item, participant-completed screening tool designed to help differentiate nociceptive and neuropathic pain. This pain score also helps to evaluate the presence/absence of neuropathic pain at a given point of time.~Did the pain feel like pins and needles?~Did the pain feel hot/burning?~Did the pain feel numb?~Did the pain feel like electrical shocks?~Is the pain made worse with the touch of clothing or bed sheets?~Is the pain limited to your joints?~A yes response to questions 1-5 are scored as 1; for question 6, a yes is scored as -1. As such, higher scores (approaching 5) signify worse outcomes. The scale's total range for a patient is -1 to 5." (NCT03407430)

Number of Days of Breakthrough Analgesic Use Between Pregabalin and Placebo Across the 2 Cycles

"Compare the number of days of breakthrough analgesic use between pregabalin and placebo within cycle 1 and across the 2 cycles.~The number of days of breakthrough analgesic use (i.e additional pain medication being required) is evaluated based on participant-provided medication logs kept during study treatment. If additional pain medication outside of their normal pain control regimen was reported, this day counts as 1. The total days for each patient are then reported, with a total range from zero to 14 (for patients with breast cancer) or zero to 21 (for patients with a lymphoma)." (NCT03407430)
