Real‐world effectiveness of highly purified cannabidiol in epilepsy associated with 15q11.2‐q13.1 duplication and deletion syndromes: A multicenter study

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract This multicenter retrospective study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of highly purified cannabidiol (CBD) in 22 patients with 15q11.2‐q13.1 duplication or deletion syndromes (15q‐DDS), including 12 with 15q duplication syndrome (dup15q) and 10 with Angelman syndrome (AS). Median (interquartile range [IQR]) age at CBD initiation was 14.5

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation of topiramate in populations with renal and hepatic impairment and considerations for drug–drug interactions

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 510-522, March 2025.
Abstract Topiramate (TPM) is a broad‐spectrum antiepileptic drug (AED) commonly prescribed for approved and off‐label uses. Routine monitoring is suggested for clinical usage of TPM in special population due to its broad side effect profile. Therefore, it is crucial to further explore its pharmacokinetic characteristics.
