Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Investigate the efficacy of brivaracetam monotherapy in study participants 2 to 25 years of age inclusive, with childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) or juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE);Secondary Objective: Evaluate the safety and tolerability of brivaracetam monotherapy in study participants 2 to 25 years of age inclusive, with CAE or JAE;Primary end point(s): Percentage of participants who met the criteria for absence seizure freedom within 4 days prior to or during the 24-hour ambulatory electroencephalogram (EEG) at Day 14 ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 14
