What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) of interest

    Assessment of events of dizziness, blurred vision, somnolence, aggression, balance disorders, ataxia, falls, unintended pregnancy, weight gain, suicidality, drug abuse, misuse, dependence, withdrawal, off-label use, skin photosensitivity, unintended pregnancy while taking levonorgestrel-containing contraceptives, and outcomes associated with any suspected drug-drug interaction.

    Time frame: Up to 52 weeks and 2 weeks of follow-up

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence of unintended pregnancy

    Time frame: Up to 52 weeks

  2. Incidence of off-label use

    Time frame: Up to 52 weeks

  3. Summary scores for the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)

    Time frame: Screening, Week 52

  4. Number of TEAEs in the patient subpopulations of interest

    TEAEs observed in the specified subpopulations of patients could also be made in order to get a better understanding of whether any of these particular potential risk factors (e.g., old age, cardiovascular disease) define groups with greater or lesser risk.

    Time frame: Up to 52 weeks and 2 weeks of follow-up

  5. Clinical Global Impression of Change

    Assessment of disease severity will utilize the Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) scale at end of treatment to evaluate change in disease status since initiation of treatment.

    Time frame: Week 52
