Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: From Baseline until end of the safety follow up (up to 88.5 months)

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) were defined as AEs that had onset on or after the day of first BRV dose in EP0085 study.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percent Change in Partial Seizure Frequency (PSF) Per 28 Days From Baseline of EP0083 or N01358 to the Evaluation Period for Rollover Study Participants

    Time frame: Baseline of EP0083 or N01358 and up to 84 months of Evaluation Period

    The seizure frequency was calculated as number of seizures per 28 days. Percent change of 28 day PSF from Baseline was defined as the percentage reduction of 28 day PSF for a designated post-baseline period in EP0085 compared with the Baseline 28 day PSF in the core study. Change in seizure frequency from Baseline was calculated: percent change = ([Baseline 28 day PSF - Post Baseline 28 day PSF]/[Baseline 28 day PSF]) × 100. For rollovers, the Baseline period was obtained from the core studies of EP0083 and N01358 directly. A negative value in percent change from Baseline indicates a decrease in PSF from Baseline. Evaluation Period values for seizure frequency were calculated from the seizure diary data collected during the Evaluation Period on/after the first BRV administration.

  2. 50 Percent (%) Responder Rate in Partial Seizure Frequency Per 28 Days From Baseline of EP0083 or N01358 to the Evaluation Period for Rollover Study Participants

    Time frame: Baseline of EP0083 or N01358 and up to 84 months of Evaluation Period

    The seizure frequency was calculated as number of seizures per 28 days. 50% responders were defined as a participant with a >= 50% reduction in seizure frequency from the baseline period over the post-baseline period. Percentages are based on the number of participants who performed the seizure assessment at each time point. Evaluation Period values for seizure frequency were calculated from the seizure diary data collected during the Evaluation Period on/after the first BRV administration.

  3. Percent Change in Partial Seizure Frequency Per 28 Days From Baseline of Directly Enrolled Study Participants to the Evaluation Period

    Time frame: Baseline (8 weeks prior to BRV administration), up to 39 months of Evaluation Period

    The seizure frequency was calculated as number of seizures per 28 days. For direct enrollers, the Baseline Period was defined as seizure counts collected from 8 weeks prior to the first BRV administration in EP0085. Change in seizure frequency is calculated as the seizure frequency at the evaluation time point minus the seizure frequency at Baseline of directly enrolled participants. A negative value in percent change from Baseline indicates a decrease in PSF from Baseline. Evaluation Period values for seizure frequency were calculated from the seizure diary data collected during the Evaluation Period on/after the first BRV administration.

  4. 50 % Responder Rate in Partial Seizure Frequency Per 28 Days Over the Evaluation Period for Directly Enrolled Study Participants

    Time frame: Baseline (8 weeks prior to BRV administration), up to 39 months of Evaluation Period

    The seizure frequency for directly enrolled participants was calculated as number of seizures per 28 days from 8 weeks prior to BRV administration. 50% responders were defined as a participant with a >= 50% reduction in seizure frequency from the Baseline Period over the post-baseline period. Percentages are based on the number of participants who performed the seizure assessment at each time point. For direct enrollers, the Baseline Period was defined as seizure counts collected from 8 weeks prior to the first BRV administration in EP0085. Evaluation Period values for seizure frequency were calculated from the seizure diary data collected during the Evaluation Period on/after the first BRV administration.

  5. Percentage of Participants Continuously Seizure-free for Partial Seizure and All Seizure Types (Partial, Generalized, and Unclassified Epileptic Seizure) for at Least 6 Months During the Evaluation Period for Rollover Study Participants

    Time frame: During the Evaluation Period (up to 84 months)

  6. Percentage of Participants Continuously Seizure-free for Partial Seizure and All Seizure Types (Partial, Generalized, and Unclassified Epileptic Seizure) for at Least 12 Months During the Evaluation Period for Rollover Study Participants

    A study participant was considered seizure free, if no seizure occurred during 12 consecutive months in the Evaluation Period and if met all of the following criteria: - the participant completed the designated period during the Evaluation Period - the participant has at least 90% non-missing diary days during the period of time - the participant did not report any seizures during the period.

  7. Percentage of Participants Continuously Seizure-free for Partial Seizure and All Seizure Types During the Evaluation Period for Rollover Study Participants

    A study participant was considered seizure free, if no seizure occurred during 6 consecutive months in the Evaluation Period and if met all of the following criteria: - the participant completed the designated period during the Evaluation Period - the participant has at least 90% non-missing diary days during the period of time - the participant did not report any seizures during the period.

  9. Percentage of Participants Continuously Seizure-free for Partial Seizure and All Seizure Types (Partial, Generalized, and Unclassified Epileptic Seizure) for at Least 12 Months During the Evaluation Period for Directly Enrolled Study Participants
