Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of Subjects With ≥50% Reduction (Responder Rate) in Weekly (7 Day) Partial-onset Seizure Frequency During the Titration Plus Maintenance Phase Compared to Baseline. [ Time Frame: 11 weeks ]
  2. Proportion of Subjects With ≥50% Reduction (Responder Rate) in Weekly (7 Day) Partial-onset Seizure Frequency During the Titration Phase Compared to Baseline. [ Time Frame: 3 weeks (weeks 1-3) ]
  3. Percent Reductions From Baseline in Weekly (7 Day) Partial-onset Seizure Frequency During the Titration Phase Compared to Baseline. [ Time Frame: 3 weeks (weeks 1-3) ]
  4. Percent Reduction From Baseline in Weekly (7 Day) All Seizure Frequency During the Titration Plus Maintenance Phase. [ Time Frame: 11 weeks ]
  5. Proportion of Subjects With ≥25%, ≥75%, and 100% Reduction in Weekly (7 Day) Partial-onset Seizure Frequency During the Titration Phases Compared to Baseline. [ Time Frame: 3 weeks (weeks 1-3) ]
  6. Proportion of Subjects With ≥25%, ≥75%, and 100% Reduction in Weekly (7 Day) Partial-onset Seizure Frequency During the Titration Plus Maintenance Phase Compared to Baseline. [ Time Frame: 11 weeks ]
  7. Proportion of Subjects With ≥25%, ≥75%, and 100% Reduction in Weekly (7 Day) Partial-onset Seizure Frequency During the Maintenance Phase Compared to Baseline. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks (weeks 4-11) ]
  8. Percent Reduction From Baseline in Weekly (7 Day) Partial-onset Seizure Frequency During the Maintenance Phase Compared to Baseline. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks (weeks 4-11) ]
