Notes [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point. Justification: The primary objective was to give opportunity for adult subjects suffering from newly diagnosed epilepsy, who completed study N01175 conducted with levetiracetam (LEV) in monotherapy and who benefited from the treatment, to receive treatment with LEV until the monotherapy indication for LEV has been granted in Europe. The safety profile of LEV was summarized descriptively across several safety variables. Therefore, no inferential statistics were performed in this safety study. |
