Trial Outcomes

Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events During the Study Period

An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A treatment emergent AE is any event that emerges during treatment having been absent pre-treatment, or worsens relative to the pre-treatment state. (NCT01653262)
Timeframe: From Study Entry (Visit1, Week -1) to the end of the Treatment Period (Visit 6, Week 12) or Early Discontinuation Visit

Interventionevents (Number)
Brivaracetam67

Number of Subjects Who Are Free From Nonpsychotic Behavioral Side Effects Over the Entire Treatment Period

Nonpsychotic behavioral side effects (NBSE) include (but are not limited to) such symptoms as aggression, agitation, anger, anxiety, apathy, depersonalization, depression, emotional lability, hostility, irritability, etc. (NCT01653262)
Timeframe: From Visit 2 (Week 0) to Visit 6 (Week 12)

Interventionsubjects (Number)
Brivaracetam3

Number of Subjects Who Have a Complete Abatement of Nonpsychotic Behavioral Side Effects for the Last Assessment During the Treatment Period, Based on the Investigator's Overall Assessment

Nonpsychotic behavioral side effects include (but are not limited to) such symptoms as aggression, agitation, anger, anxiety, apathy, depersonalization, depression, emotional lability, hostility, irritability, etc. (NCT01653262)
Timeframe: From Baseline (maximum of 12 weeks prior to Study Entry at Week -1) to the end of the Treatment Period (Visit 6, Week 12) or Early Discontinuation Visit

Occurrence of Serious Adverse Events During the Study Period

A serious adverse event is any untoward medical occurrences in a subject administered study treatment, whether or not the event is related to treatment, with at least one of the follow outcomes: death, life-threatening, initial inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, significant or persistent disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, or an important medical event that may jeopardize the subject and require a medical/surgical intervention. (NCT01653262)
Timeframe: From Study Entry (Visit1, Week -1) to the end of the Treatment Period (Visit 6, Week 12) or Early Discontinuation Visit

Partial Onset Seizure (POS) Frequency Over the Treatment Period for Subjects With Focal Epilepsy

"The POS frequency is standardized to a 28-day duration and changes in POS frequency are measured relative to the reported seizure counts for the 4 weeks prior to Visit 2 (Week 0).~Partial seizures can be classified into one of the following three groups:~Simple partial seizures (IA)~Complex partial seizures (IB)~Partial seizures evolving to secondarily generalized seizures (IC)" (NCT01653262)
Timeframe: From 4 weeks prior to Visit 2 (Week 0) to the end of the Treatment Period (Visit 6, Week 12) or Early Discontinuation Visit

Percentage of Subjects Who Achieved a Clinically Meaningful Reduction of Nonpsychotic Behavioral Side Effects Based on the Investigator's Overall Assessment From Study Entry to the End of the Treatment Period

"Nonpsychotic behavioral side effects include (but are not limited to) such symptoms as aggression, agitation, anger, anxiety, apathy, depersonalization, depression, emotional lability, hostility, irritability, etc.~The Investigator completed the assessment by answering the following:~Has there been a clinically meaningful reduction of nonpsychotic behavioral side effects since the start of BRV?~- Yes/No" (NCT01653262)
