Inclusion criteria

  1. Gender and age: Japanese patients, regardless of gender, aged 12 years or older at the time of .
  2. Subject has a clinical diagnosis of Primary Generalized Tonic-Clonic (PGTC) seizures in the setting of idiopathic generalized epilepsy.
  3. Subject experiences at least 5 Primary Generalized Tonic-Clonic (PGTC) seizures in 12 weeks.
  4. Subject is currently receiving 1 to a maximum of 3 concomitant Antiepileptic Drugs(AEDs) with fixed dosing regimens

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject has a history of status epilepticus that required hospitalization within 15 months prior to enrollment.
  2. Subject has seizure clusters where individual seizures cannot be counted orclassified.
  3. History of non-epileptic or psychogenic seizures.
  4. Subject has a concomitant diagnosis of Partial Onset Seizure(POS).
  5. Subject has a history of any serious drug-induced reaction (including but not limited to Stevens Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms(DRESS), Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome(DIHS)) or any drug-related rash requiring hospitalization.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage Change in generalized tonic-clonic (PGTC) seizure frequency per 28-Day Interval

    Convert the frequency of generalized tonic-clonic seizures (PGTC) in the Maintenance Phase and Pre-treatment Phase to a 28-day interval. Calculate the percentage change for these.

    Time frame: 12 Weeks of the Maintenance Phase

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage Change in all generalized seizure frequency per 28-Day

    Convert the frequency of all generalized seizures in the Maintenance Phase and Pre-treatment Phase to a 28-day interval. Calculate the percentage change for these.

    Time frame: 12 Weeks of the Maintenance Phase

  2. Percentage of Subjects with Reduction in Generalized Seizure Frequency per 28-Day Interval

    The percentage of subjects who have a 50%, 75%, 90%, and 100% reduction in all generalized seizure frequency per 28-day interval during the Maintenance Phase relative to the Pre-treatment Phase

    Time frame: 12 Weeks of the Maintenance Phase

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 17, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
