Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Subject is male or female from >=1 month (ie, 4 weeks after full term [37 weeks gestational age]) to <4 years of age
* Subject has a diagnosis of epilepsy with partial-onset seizures. The results of >=1 prior EEG and >=1 magnetic resonance imaging/computerized tomography scan should be consistent with this diagnosis
* Subject weighs >=4 kg to <30 kg at Visit 1
* Subject has experienced >=2 partial-onset seizures with or without secondary generalization during each consecutive 7-day period during the 2 weeks prior to Visit 1
* Subject has >=2 partial-onset seizures with or without secondary generalization during the End-of-Baseline video-EEG. Electrographic seizures are defined as recognizable ictal patterns on an EEG involving >=2 contiguous electrodes. The seizures are initiated as a unilateral or strongly asymmetric abnormal epileptiform discharge lasting a total of >10 seconds
* Subject is on a stable (concurrently or sequentially) dosage regimen of 1 to 3 AEDs. The dosage regimen of concomitant AED therapy must be kept constant for a period of >=2 weeks prior to Visit 1. A stable daily dosage regimen of a concomitant benzodiazepine (BZD) will be considered as a concomitant AED
* Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is allowed and will not be counted as a concomitant AED. The VNS device must have been implanted for >=6 months prior to Visit 1; device settings must be kept stable for >=2 weeks prior to Visit 1 and kept stable during the Baseline, Treatment, and Transition Periods. Use of the VNS device magnet is allowed
* Subject is an acceptable candidate for venipuncture
Minimum age
1 Month
Maximum age
47 Months
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
* Subject has experienced febrile seizures exclusively. The occurrence of febrile seizures in addition to partial-onset seizures is not exclusionary
* Subject is on a ketogenic diet that has either changed within the 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 or is expected to change during the study
* Subject has creatinine clearance <30 mL/minute
* Subject has a clinically relevant ECG abnormality, in the opinion of the investigator (eg, second or third degree heart block at rest or a corrected QT interval [QTc] >=450 ms)
* Subject has a hemodynamically significant congenital heart disease
* Subject has an arrhythmic heart condition requiring medical therapy
* Subject has a known history of severe anaphylactic reaction secondary to medication intake or serious blood dyscrasias
* Subject has nonepileptic events that could be confused with seizures. Subjects may be included if epileptic events can be clearly distinguished and the frequency meets the study inclusion criteria
* Subject has a current diagnosis of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, epilepsia partialis continua, primary generalized epilepsy, Dravet Syndrome, or seizures that are not of partial-onset origin
* Subject has a history of generalized convulsive status epilepticus <=2 months prior to Screening (Visit 1)
* Subject has been treated with felbamate and has experienced any serious toxicity issues (defined as liver failure, aplastic anemia) with this treatment. Subjects treated with felbamate for <12 months are excluded. Subjects treated with felbamate for >=12 months prior to Visit 1 and who have not experienced serious toxicity issues are eligible
* Subject has an acute or subacutely progressive central nervous system disease. Subject has epilepsy secondary to a progressing cerebral disease or any other progressively neurodegenerative disease (malignant brain tumor or Rasmussen Syndrome)
* Subject has a known cardiac sodium channelopathy, such as Brugada syndrome
