Study Arms:
- Ethosuximide (Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR): Ethosuximide~Frequency and Duration: twice a day, every day for the duration of the study treatment~Formulation: Two formulations were used (actual formulation used was dependent on the patient's weight and ability to swallow): 250mg Zarontin capsules OR 250 mg/5 mL Zarontin syrup~Dosing: Ethosuximide was titrated in predetermined increments every 1-2 weeks during a 16-week titration period. The titration continued until the patient a) achieved seizure freedom by clinical and EEG criteria, b) reached the maximal allowed study drug dose, c) reached the maximal tolerated dose, or d) developed dose-exiting criteria (treatment failure), whichever came first. Maximum allowed dose: 60 mg/kg/day or 2000 mg/day (whichever was lower)
- Lamotrigine (Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR): Lamotrigine~Frequency and Duration: twice a day, every day for the duration of the study treatment~Formulation: Three formulations were used (actual formulation used was dependent on the patient's weight): 5mg Lamictal chewable tablets OR 25 mg Lamictal chewable tablets OR 25 mg (Lamictal tablets~Dosing: Lamotrigine was titrated in predetermined increments every 1-2 weeks during a 16-week titration period. The titration continued until the patient a) achieved seizure freedom by clinical and EEG criteria, b) reached the maximal allowed study drug dose, c) reached the maximal tolerated dose, or d) developed dose-exiting criteria (treatment failure), whichever came first. Maximum allowed dose: 12 mg/kg/day or 600 mg/day (whichever was lower).
- Valproic acid (Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR): Valproic acid~Frequency and Duration: twice a day, every day for the duration of the study treatment~Formulation: Two formulations were used (actual formulation used was dependent on the patient's weight): 250mg Depakote capsules OR 125mg Depakote sprinkles.~Dosing: Depakote was titrated in predetermined increments every 1-2 weeks during a 16-week titration period. The titration continued until the patient a) achieved seizure freedom by clinical and EEG criteria, b) reached the maximal allowed study drug dose, c) reached the maximal tolerated dose, or d) developed dose-exiting criteria (treatment failure), whichever came first. Maximum allowed dose: 60 mg/kg/day or 3000 mg/day (whichever was lower)
