Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To provide the levetiracetam (LEV) treatment to epilepsy subjects in Japan who are judged to benefit from continued treatment with LEV by the investigators and who are willing to continuously receive this drug. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term administration of LEV at doses up to 60mg/kg/day or 3000mg/day in subjects with epilepsy in Japan who have completed the N01159 or N01363 or have discontinued the N01159 due to lack of efficacy.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of LEV long-term administration of LEV at doses up to 60mg/kg/day or 3000mg/day in subjects with epilepsy in Japan who have completed N01159 or N01363 or who have discontinued N01159 due to lack of efficacy.;Primary end point(s): Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events during the entire study period.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Evaluation and Withdrawal Periods(up to 3 years)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - Baseline of feeder study until end of study(up to 3 years) - Evaluation and Withdrawal Periods(up to 3 years);Secondary end point(s): - The percentage reduction in Generalized Tonic-Clonic (GTC) seizure frequency per week over the Evaluation Period from either of the Combined Baseline Periods of the previous studies (N01159 or N01363) - The incidence of adverse drug reactions during the entire study period
