To assess preliminary safety and efficacy of ganaxolone as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of primary seizure types in patients with genetically- or clinically-confirmed TSC-related epilepsy through the end of the 12 week treatment period.
This is an OL proof of concept study of adjunctive GNX treatment in patients with a confirmed clinical diagnosis of TSC and/or a mutation in either the TSC1 or TSC2 gene. The trial consists of two parts: Part A consists of a 4-week baseline period followed by a 12-week treatment period (4-week titration and 8-week maintenance). For patients not continuing in the 24-week OLE period (Part B), a 2-week taper period followed by a 2-week safety period would follow. The main difference between Part A and Part B is the length of treatment, less frequent assessments, and the ability to alter drug doses (both GNX and other antiepileptic drug \[AED\] treatments which includes initiating and stopping other medications) based on investigator evaluation of the patient's clinical course during Part B. Patients with a seizure frequency reduction during the 12-week treatment period in Part A compared to baseline may continue into Part B ("OLE eligible"), to assess long-term safety, efficacy and tolerability in patients with TSC-related Epilepsy.

Percent Change From Baseline in 28-day Seizure Frequency Through the End of 12-Week Treatment Period
Primary seizures include atonic/drop, bilateral clonic, bilateral tonic, focal motor without impairment of consciousness or awareness, focal (motor or non-motor) with impairment of consciousness or awareness, focal to bilateral tonic-clonic, generalized tonic-clonic. Baseline 28-day seizure frequency was calculated as the total number of primary seizures in the Baseline period divided by the number of days with non-missing seizure data in the Baseline period, multiplied by 28. The Baseline Visit was defined as Week 0. Percent change from Baseline in 28-day seizure frequent was calculated as the difference in post-Baseline 28-day seizure frequency and Baseline 28-day seizure frequency, divided by Baseline 28-day seizure frequency, multiplied by 100.
Time frame: Baseline and Up to Week 12
Percentage of Participants Experiencing a >=50 Percent Reduction in 28-day Primary Seizure Frequency Through the End of the 12-week Treatment Period Compared to the Baseline Period
Primary seizures include atonic/drop, bilateral clonic, bilateral tonic, focal motor without impairment of consciousness or awareness, focal (motor or non-motor) with impairment of consciousness or awareness, focal to bilateral tonic-clonic, generalized tonic-clonic. Percentage of participants reporting \>=50 percent reduction in seizure frequency has been presented.
Time frame: Baseline and up to 12 Weeks
