The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and effectiveness of USL261 for the outpatient treatment of seizure clusters.
Qualifying participants underwent an in-clinic administration (Test Dose Phase \[TDP\]) of two doses of USL261 (intranasal midazolam 5 mg), separated by 10 minutes, in the absence of seizures. Eligible participants were then randomized to USL261 versus Placebo in an outpatient Comparative Phase (CP). When the participant had a qualifying seizure cluster episode, as described in an individualized patient management plan, the participant's caregiver administered the double-blind dose. An open-label USL261 dose could be administered after 10 minutes and up to 6 hours after the double-blind dose, if the participant had persistent or recurrent seizures. Initial participants could not proceed to CP until an independent data safety monitoring board (DSMB) reviewed safety data from at least the first 25 participants in TDP; the DSMB performed additional safety reviews at pre-set intervals based on enrollment.

Participants Who Met the Criteria for Treatment Success After Administration of the Double-blind Dose in the Comparative Phase (CP)
Treatment Success is defined as achieving both of the following: 1) termination of seizure(s) within 10 minutes after double-blind study drug administration, and 2) no recurrence of seizure(s) beginning 10 minutes after study drug administration to 6 hours after study drug administration. Participants who received the open-label second dose within 6 hours of administration of the double-blind dose were analyzed as having had a seizure.
Time frame: 6 hours
Participants With Seizure(s) >10 Minutes to 4 Hours After Administration of the Double-blind Dose
Participants with recurrence of seizure(s) \>10 minutes and up to 4 hours after administration of the double-blind dose in the CP. Participants who received the open-label second dose within 4 hours of administration of the double-blind dose were analyzed as having had a seizure.
Time frame: 4 hours
Occurrence of Seizure With a Start Time >10 Minutes After Administration of the Double-blind Dose
Occurrence of next seizure with a start time \>10 minutes and up to 24 hours after administration of the double-blind dose in the CP. Participants who did not have another seizure before the end of the 24-hour observation period were censored at the end of the observation period. Participants administered the open-label second dose who did not have a seizure were censored at the time of the administration.
Time frame: 24 hours
Time to Next Seizure With a Start Time >10 Minutes After Administration of the Double-blind Dose
Time to next seizure with a start time \>10 minutes and up to 24 hours after administration of the double-blind dose in the CP. Participants who did not have another seizure before the end of the 24-hour observation period were censored at the end of the observation period. Participants administered the open-label second dose who did not have a seizure were censored at the time of the administration.
