Measure Type	Secondary
Measure Title	Change From Baseline in N01221 [NCT00280696] in Secondary Generalized Seizure Frequency Per Week During the First 16-week Period in This Study
Measure Description	Change in secondary generalized seizure frequency is given as a percent reduction computed as: [ Weekly sec. generalized seizure frequency (Baseline)- Weekly sec. generalized seizure frequency (Evaluation Period)]/ [Weekly sec. generalized seizure frequency (Baseline)] x 100. Positive values in reduction means the value decreased from Baseline during the first 16-week Period. Secondary generalized seizures belong to one of the 3 groups: Simple partial sz evolving to gen sz Complex partial sz evolving to gen sz Simple partial sz evolving to Complex partial sz evolving to gen sz
Time Frame	Baseline in N01221 [NCT00280696], the First 16-week Evaluation Period from Visit 1 (Week 0) to Visit 5 (Week 16) in this study
Safety Issue	No
