  1. Relative change in apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) from baseline to Week 15 (at least 12 weeks of treatment at target dose) measured by PSG

    Timeframe: from baseline to week 15

    change in apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)

  1. Number and percentage of patients reporting adverse events, treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) , serious TEAEs, related TEAEs, related serious TEAEs, TEAEs leading to discontinuation of study drug.

    Timeframe: from baseline to week 15

    Two-sided 95% confidence intervals for the difference in patient incidence between each sulthiame treatment group and placebo.
