Effectiveness and safety of cenobamate after conversion to monotherapy or dual therapy in real-world clinical practice. [PDF]
Abstract Objective Patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) typically take multiple anti‐seizure medications (ASMs) and are at risk of treatment‐related adverse events (AEs). This study assessed the impact of cenobamate monotherapy or dual therapy in patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy.

Induction of cytochrome P450 2C9 and P-glycoprotein activity by antiseizure medications: A systematic review and network meta-analysis. [PDF]
Abstract Objectives Antiseizure medications (ASMs) can induce the activity of drug‐metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters, including cytochrome P450 (CYP)2C9 and P‐glycoprotein (P‐gp). Our objective was to comparatively assess the effects of ASMs on exposure to clinical CYP2C9 and P‐gp substrates.

Effectiveness of adjunctive low-dose clobazam in adults with focal drug-resistant epilepsy and incomplete response to cenobamate: A real-world study. [PDF]
Abstract Objective Cenobamate (CNB) is a highly effective antiseizure medication (ASM) for focal drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE); nevertheless, even with CNB treatment and optimized therapy, a substantial proportion of patients continued to experience seizures.

Cenobamate Monotherapy for Focal Epilepsy: A Single-Center Retrospective Study. [PDF]
Cenobamate is a novel antiseizure medication (ASM) approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use as adjunctive therapy in focal epilepsy. However, there are limited data on its use as a standalone monotherapy. The aim of our study was to investigate the use of cenobamate monotherapy and evaluate its clinical efficacy and safety in treating focal

Corticocortical evoked potential amplitude is altered by cortical stimulation in epilepsy
Abstract Objective Neurostimulation is an established therapy for drug‐resistant epilepsy, but optimizing stimulation parameters remains a major challenge. Corticocortical evoked potential (CCEP) amplitude may serve as an immediate biomarker of neurostimulation effects, enabling rapid parameter optimization.

Gamma suppression correlates with thalamic stimulation therapeutic response in intractable epilepsy
Abstract Objective In patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy who undergo anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) deep brain stimulation (DBS), efficacy is assessed months after therapy initiation and clinicians have no guidance when choosing stimulation parameters due to the lack of real‐time biomarkers.
