Temporal Profile of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events in Adult Asian Patients with Focal-Onset Seizures During Adjunctive Brivaracetam Treatment: Post Hoc Analysis of a Phase 3, Randomized Trial.
Introduction: We assessed the time course of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in adult Asian patients (in Thailand, Japan, China, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan) with focal-onset seizures (FOS) during adjunctive brivaracetam (BRV) treatment.
Methods: Post hoc analysis of EP0083/NCT03083665, a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo (PBO)-controlled trial that evaluated BRV 50 and 200 mg/day in adult Asian patients (≥ 16-80 years) with FOS. Following an 8-week prospective baseline, patients were randomized 1:1:1 to PBO, BRV 50 mg, or BRV 200 mg and entered a 12-week treatment period.
Results: Overall, 448 patients (mean age 34.5 years; 53.8% female) received ≥ 1 dose of trial medication (PBO/BRV 50 mg/BRV 200 mg: n = 149/151/148 [Safety Set]). The overall incidence of TEAEs was similar across treatment arms (53.6-58.1%), and most TEAEs were mild in intensity (45.0-48.3%). Patients discontinuing BRV because of TEAEs (1.3% BRV 50 mg; 2.7% BRV 200 mg) discontinued during the first 5 weeks of treatment (for PBO, discontinuations due to TEAEs [3.4%] took place between weeks 1-8). The incidence of drug-related TEAEs was 18.1% in patients receiving PBO, 24.5% in those on BRV 50 mg/day, and 39.2% for BRV 200 mg/day; however, most were of mild intensity and did not lead to BRV discontinuation. The incidence of TEAEs and drug-related TEAEs was highest during the first week of adjunctive BRV treatment and decreased thereafter. The onset of drug-related somnolence and dizziness occurred mainly during the first week of treatment.
Conclusion: In Asian adults with FOS, most drug-related TEAEs were mild in intensity, indicating that adjunctive BRV had a favorable tolerability profile when initiated at a potentially therapeutic dose without titration. The incidence of drug-related TEAEs including somnolence and dizziness was highest during the first week of adjunctive BRV treatment, abating thereafter. These tolerability data could help inform patient monitoring and treatment decisions when prescribing BRV.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all therapeutic areas. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Advances in Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
