Current Primary Outcome MeasuresResponse Ratio of Gabapentin in Japanese Pediatric Patients With Partial Seizures [Time Frame: 12 weeks] [Designated as safety issue: No]The Response Ratio calculated by the following equation was assessed as the primary endpoint: R Ratio = (T−B) / (T+B) where T is seizure frequency per 28 days (i.e., the number of seizures per 28 days) calculated from the total number of seizures for the 12-week treatment period, and B is seizure frequency per 28 days (i.e., the number of seizures per 28 days) calculated from the total number of seizures for the 6-week baseline period.
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • Responder Rate [Time Frame: 12 weeks] [Designated as safety issue: No]Responder Rate was defined as the percentage of subjects with a 50% or greater reduction in the seizure frequency per 28 days for the 12-week treatment period in comparison with the frequency per 28 days for the 6-week baseline period.
  • Percent Change in Seizure Frequency (PCH) [Time Frame: 12 weeks] [Designated as safety issue: No]PCH calculated by the following equation was assessed as secondary endpoint: PCH = 100 (T−B) / B where T is seizure frequency per 28 days (i.e., the number of seizures per 28 days) calculated from the total number of seizures for the 12-week treatment period, and B is seizure frequency per 28 days (i.e., the number of seizures per 28 days) calculated from the total number of seizures for the 6-week baseline period.
