Study Summary

This Phase 3 study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of retigabine dosed at 1200 mg/day, in three equally divided doses, compared with placebo in patients with epilepsy who are receiving up to three established antiepileptic drugs (AEDs).

Primary Outcome

28-day total PS (PSs \[also called focal seizures\] are seizures limited to a specific area of the brain) frequency in the BL period = (Number \[No.\] of total PSs reported in the BL period divided by the No. of days of available total PS data in the BL period) x 28 days. 28-day total PS frequency in the DB period = (No. of total PSs reported in the DB period divided by the No. of days of available total PS data in the DB period) x 28 days. Percent change = (\[value in the DB period minus value
