| Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment |
|---|
| Participants who completed the Double-blind Phase (Titration plus Maintenance Phases) who elected to continue in the Open-Label Extension Study (OLE-S) entered the Transition Phase, for titration, if on placebo, or to maintain the blind if on retigabine. Participants who did not enter the Titration Phase entered a Taper Phase. |
| Description | |
|---|---|
| Placebo | Titration Phase: matching placebo tablets of dummy strengths of 50 milligrams (mg), 100 mg, and 300 mg administered orally thrice a day (TID) for 6 weeks. Maintenance Phase: matching placebo tablets of dummy strengths of 50 mg, 100 mg, and 300 mg administered orally TID for 12 weeks. |
| Retigabine | Titration Phase: retigabine tablets of strengths 50 mg, 100 mg, and 300 mg administered orally TID with a starting daily dose of 300 mg/day (in 3 equally divided doses). The dose increased weekly by 150 mg/day (50 mg TID) for the 6 weeks of the Titration Phase to a target daily dose of 1200 mg/day (400 mg TID) by the beginning of Week 7 of treatment. Maintenance Phase: Retigabine tablets of strengths 50 mg, 100 mg, and 300 mg administered orally TID for a target daily dose of 1200 mg/day (400 mg TID) for 12 weeks in participants who tolerated this dose. Participants who could not tolerate the 1200 mg/day dose were allowed to reduce the dose to 1050 mg/day (350 mg TID) at the end of the first week and then maintain this dose for the remainder of the 12 weeks. |

Baseline Characteristics
| Description | |
|---|---|
| Placebo - Double-blind (DB) Phase (Titration + Maintenance) | Matching placebo tablets of dummy strengths of 50 milligrams (mg), 100 mg, and 300 mg administered orally thrice a day (TID) for 18 weeks (6 weeks of Titration Phase and 12 weeks of Maintenance Phase) |
| Retigabine - DB Phase (Titration + Maintenance) | Retigabine tablets of strengths 50 mg, 100 mg, and 300 mg administered orally TID for a target daily dose of 1200 mg/day (400 mg TID) for 18 weeks (6 weeks of Titration Phase, with dosage increase from 300 mg/day to 1200 mg/day [weekly increase of 150 mg/day], and 12 weeks of Maintenance Phase, with 1200 mg/day or 1050 mg/day [for participants who could not tolerate 1200 mg/day]) |
