Recent Advancements in Adjunctive Therapy for Epilepsy: focus on sodium channel blockers as third-generation antiepileptic drugs

Published: Mar 2022

The global thymopentin market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Epilepsy has long been treated using voltage-gated sodium channel blockers such as phenytoin and carbamazepine. Many modern second-generation (fosphenytoin, oxcarbazepine, lamotrigine, felbamate, topiramate, zonisamide) and third-generation antiepileptic medicines (eslicarbazepine, brivaracetam, carisbamate, fluorofelbamate, elpetrigine, lacosamide, rufinamide, safinamide, vinpocetine) (AEDs). Although most medications do not differentiate between these channel subtypes, several of the newer treatments exhibit either state-dependent antiepileptic efficacy of sodium channel subtype selectivity. Preclinical and clinical efficacy, pharmacokinetics, medication interactions, and adverse event patterns are highlighted in this review. It also covers the sodium channel.

Over the last decade, there has been significant improvement in the treatment of epilepsy, with the introduction of eight new anticonvulsants and an innovative neurostimulation device. When it comes to therapeutic decisions, clinicians are faced with a profusion of possibilities. Only after thorough randomized controlled studies have novel antiepileptic medicines (AEDs) or devices been approved for sale. Add-on trials, in that patients with refractory epilepsy who are on stable AED therapy, are randomized to receive a study drug or a placebo, are the most prevalent designs for initial AED efficacy trials. This method can be criticized. Patients with refractory epilepsy make up a small percentage of the epilepsy community, hence the findings may not be applicable to the general population. Furthermore, partial epilepsy is not a one-size-fits-all condition. In add-on studies, drug interactions can be a difficult confounding factor.

Monotherapy trials, that are normally conducted after add-on trials have been successful, often involve newly diagnosed patients and provide the most accurate assessment of a drug's efficacy and tolerability. Monotherapy with current anticonvulsants, on the other hand, resolves complex partial seizures in up to 40% to 50% of patients1, making placebo-controlled monotherapy trials unethical.
