Subset Dosing scenarioa Percentage seizure free (90% CI)b
Dose step 1 Dose step 2 Dose step 3
All patients (A) As in SP0993 54.4 (49.4–59.1) 63.7 (59.4–68.4) 68.4 (64.1–73.4)
(B) NSP3M-based 56.7 (51.7–61.4) 66.1 (61.6–70.9) 70.2 (65.7–74.7)
Subset with NSP3M ≥7 (A) As in SP0993 30.5 (21.9–39.0) 41 (31.4–49.5) 49.5 (40.0–59.0)
(B) NSP3M-based 40 (28.6–52.4) 52.4 (41.0–61.9) 57.1 (46.7–65.7)
