E.5.1.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

The timepoints for the primary is baseline 6 months and 12 months or last visit in case of early termination.

E.5.2

Secondary end point(s)

Longitudinal endpoints will be analyzed using a mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) analysis. The MMRM model will include treatment group, age group, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, baseline measure, and baseline-by-visit interaction. An unstructured covariance will be used. Other appropriate covariance structures will be explored as needed. Confidence intervals with 95% confidence for the estimated treatment differences will be provided at each time point as appropriate. For proportion endpoints, 95% confidence intervals will be provided for the treatment difference. Each of the endpoints will also be summarized by age group.
Seizure counts and cognitive, developmental, and behavioral assessments will be summarized by treatment group and age group. The incidence of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors as determined by the C-SSRS will be summarized by treatment group and age group.
In addition to the above endpoints, other safety-related endpoints may be included in the analyses if deemed necessary.

E.5.2.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

Labs are done: screen, month 1, Month 3, 6, 9 and 12 or last visit.
Suicidality assessment is done at baseline, months 1-12, each visit.
Behavior assessments are done at baseline, month 3, month 6 and month 12
Seizure counts are done at months 1-12, each visit
Bone age x ray will be done at baseline and month 12
Bone marker assessments will be done at screen, month 6 and 12
The cognitive battery will be done at screen, baseline and months 6 and 12.

Plans for treatment or care after the subject has ended the participation in the trial (if it is different from the expected normal treatment of that condition)

Subjectswhocomplete or discontinue early from the study may judged by the investigator continue on prescribed topiramate or levetiracetam or be tapered off of study drug within or up to 2 weeks in the posttreatment phase.There may be an optional post-study follow- up phase to get a DEXA exam at 6 months after the study drug discontinued in some of subjects with a clinically important reduction in BMD after or during 1-year treatment with topiramate to determine if the reduction is reversible.
