• Participant must have been receiving stable doses of allowable ASMs (a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 3 ASMs).
• Participant and/or caregiver (if applicable) self-reports at least 2 countable focal onset seizures per month for focal onset patients, or 1 countable generalized tonic-clonic seizure per month in the 3 months immediately prior to the Screening/Observation Period for PGTCS patients.

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of pseudo or psychogenic seizures, or cluster seizures only, within the 12-month period preceding study entry where the individual seizures cannot be counted, or an episode of convulsive status epilepticus requiring hospitalization and intubation in the 12 months prior to Screening.
• Planned epilepsy surgery during the course of the clinical trial.
• History of neurosurgery for seizures <1 year prior to enrollment, or radiosurgery <2 years prior to enrollment.

• Vigabatrin: Use in the last 5 years without stable visual fields tested twice over the 12 months after the last dose of vigabatrin.
• Felbamate: If used as a concomitant ASM, patients must be on felbamate for at least 2 years, with a stable dose for 2 months prior to Screening. If a patient received felbamate in the past, it must have been discontinued 2 months prior to Screening.
