Subject has the history of status epilepticus within 6 months prior to screening. 6. Subject has only uncountably repetitive seizures occurring within 6 months prior to screening. 7. Subject has the history of neurosurgery for seizures \<1 year prior to enrolment, or radiosurgery \<2 years prior to enrolment. Subjects has the implantment and activation of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), deep brain stimulation (DBS), or other neurostimulation for epilepsy treatment \<1 year prior to enrolment, or with stimulation parameters that have been stable for \<3 months prior to enrolment, or with anticipated left battery lifetime shorter than trial duration. 8. Subject has any of the following findings will be excluded: * A history or family history of unexplained syncope; * A history of presence of long QT syndrome; QTcF \> 450 msec prior to first dose of the study drug; a family history of long QT syndromes or sudden death of unknown cause; * Bundle branch blocks or atrioventricular or other conduction abnormalities that are clinically significant according to the Investigator and/or with a PR interval ≥220ms, or HR\<50bpm at rest in ECGs or vital signs, prior to first dose of the study drug; * A history of venous thrombosis, or a history or presence of medical conditions indicating unresolved high risks of thrombophilia or hypercoagulability including but not limited to protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency, antithrombin deficiency, antiphospholipid syndrome, Budd-Chiari syndrome, myeloproliferative neoplasm including Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF), autoimmune diseases (especially systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or antiphospholipid syndrome or vasculitis), nephrotic syndrome, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, uncured malignancy, unstoppable estrogen containing oral or injection contraception or hormone replacement therapy, postpartum period within 2 months, or other medical conditions at the investigator and the medical monitor's judgements; * Venous ultrasound examinations on bilateral lower extremes indicating DVT; * \> 2.0 Upper limit of normal (ULN) of blood D-Dimer, or \>1.5 Upper limit of normal (ULN) of any of the following: alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), amylase (AMY) prior to first dose of the study drug. If subject has \>ULN of above laboratory tests that does not meet the exclusion limit at screening, repeat the tests, if possible, prior to dosing to ensure there is no further ongoing clinically relevant increase at the investigator's and/or the medical monitor's judgments; * The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at screening is \<60mL/min and the calculated result of female is ×0.85. 9. Subject has any clinically significant abnormalities on physical examination, vital signs, laboratory tests or ECG prior to first dose of the study drug which could jeopardize or would compromise the subject's safety or ability to participate in this study as deemed by the Investigator and the Medical monitor. 10. Subject has the history or presence of significant medical or surgical condition including but not limited to cardiac, hepatic, renal, respiratory, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, hematologic, psychiatric disease, or history of cancer within the past 2 years, with the exception of appropriately treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma, or any condition which could jeopardize or would compromise the subject's safety or ability to participate in this study in the opinion of the investigator and/or the medical monitor at enrolment. 11.

If felbamate was ever used before, it must have been discontinued for at least 2 months prior to screening. 15.
