In this trial, adjunctive LEV 1,000-3,000 mg/day was effective in reducing GTC seizure frequency in Chinese and Japanese patients ≥16 years old with GTC seizures. Seizure reduction occurred in both patients with idiopathic and symptomatic generalized epilepsy. LEV was well tolerated in this population.
