Abstract

Introduction: In randomized controlled trials, add-on brivaracetam (BRV) reduced seizure frequency in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. Most real-world research on BRV has focused on refractory epilepsy. The aim of this analysis was to assess the 12-month effectiveness and tolerability of adjunctive BRV when used as early or late adjunctive treatment in patients included in the BRIVAracetam add-on First Italian netwoRk Study (BRIVAFIRST). Methods: BRIVAFIRST was a 12-month retrospective, multicenter study including adult patients prescribed adjunctive BRV. Effectiveness outcomes included the rates of sustained seizure response, sustained seizure freedom, and treatment discontinuation. Safety and tolerability outcomes included the rate of treatment discontinuation due to adverse events (AEs) and the incidence of AEs. Data were compared for patients treated with add-on BRV after 1-2 (early add-on) and ≥ 3 (late add-on) prior antiseizure medications. Results: A total of 1029 patients with focal epilepsy were included in the study, of whom 176 (17.1%) received BRV as early add-on treatment. The median daily dose of BRV at 12months was 125 (100-200) mg in the early add-on group and 200 (100-200) in the late add-on group (p

Abstract

Background: In randomized controlled trials, add-on brivaracetam (BRV) reduced seizure frequency in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. Studies performed in a naturalistic setting are a useful complement to characterize the drug profile. Objective: This multicentre study assessed the effectiveness and tolerability of adjunctive BRV in a large population of patients with focal epilepsy in the context of real-world clinical practice. Methods: The BRIVAFIRST (BRIVAracetam add-on First Italian netwoRk STudy) was a retrospective, multicentre study including adult patients prescribed adjunctive BRV. Patients with focal epilepsy and 12-month follow-up were considered. Main outcomes included the rates of seizure‐freedom, seizure response (≥50% reduction in baseline seizure frequency), and treatment discontinuation. The incidence of adverse events (AEs) was also considered. Analyses by levetiracetam (LEV) status and concomitant use of strong enzyme-inducing antiseizure medications (EiASMs) and sodium channel blockers (SCBs) were performed. Results: A total of 1029 patients with a median age of 45years (33–56) was included. At 12 months, 169 (16.4%) patients were seizure-free and 383 (37.2%) were seizure responders. The rate of seizure freedom was 22.3% in LEV-naive patients, 7.1% in patients with prior LEV use and discontinuation due to insufficient efficacy, and 31.2% in patients with prior LEV use and discontinuation due to AEs (p&nbsp

Abstract

The Xe-133 inhalation method was used to study rCBF in 12 patients with partial epilepsy during the interictal phase. SPECT images evidenced a focal CBF defect in 10 out of 12 patients, while quantitative analysis showed CBF abnormalities in all the patients. The focal CBF defect corresponded to the site of EEG abnormalities in nine patients. Additional low-flow areas beyond the EEG focus were found. Five patients presented a significant CBF decrease in the cerebellar hemisphere contralateral to the EEG focus. In five patients with unilateral EEG abnormalities, a CBF reduction was found in the contralateral cerebral hemisphere, mirror to the EEG focus. Finally, a widespread CBF decrease involving one or both cerebral hemispheres was observed in seven patients. Global and rCBF values were not correlated with age, duration of disease, frequency of seizures, secondary generalization, or specific therapy. SPECT may be useful in evaluating EEG epileptic foci, and quantitative SPECT allows the detection of functional effects of the epileptic focus on anatomically connected remote areas, probably due to the decrease of afferent inputs (diaschisis phenomenon).

Abstract

We studied 80 epileptic patients receiving antiepileptic drugs in mono- or polytherapy. For every patient, peroneal and median nerve motor conduction velocities and median nerve sensory conduction velocity were calculated. The average conduction velocity values were remarkably slower than those of a group of 55 normal subjects. We found at least one abnormal conduction velocity value in patients treated with carbamazepine (CBZ), phenobarbital, and phenytoin. There was no specific prevalence of one of these drugs. We found a noticeable relationship between conduction velocity slowing and daily dosage for CBZ only. There was no relationship between conduction velocity slowing and drug blood levels or duration of treatment.
