The study was open-label, nonrandomized, and had no placebo or active comparator, so it provides uncontrolled safety and treatment-exposure information rather than comparative evidence of effectiveness. Its primary endpoint was the number of participants receiving NRL-1 over 12 months, not a hard clinical seizure outcome, and no formal primary-endpoint comparison was applicable.
