Journal: Quantitative EEG analysis of brivaracetam in drug-resistant epilepsy: A pharmaco-EEG study. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 13, 2024 The study demonstrates the effectiveness of brivaracetam combination therapy in epilepsy management, with notable reductions in seizure frequency and favourable clinical responses observed, particularly in treatment-naive individuals. The integration of EEG quantitative analysis in epilepsy can provide insights into the efficacy, mechanism of action, and side effects of ASMs.

Preclinical, Review, Journal: Narrative Review of Brivaracetam: Preclinical Profile and Clinical Benefits in the Treatment of Patients with Epilepsy. (Pubmed Central) - May 30, 2024 P3 Brivaracetam (BRV) is an ASM that was developed in a major drug discovery program aimed at identifying selective, high-affinity synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) ligands, the target molecule of levetiracetam. Evidence from daily clinical practice highlights BRV effectiveness and tolerability in specific epilepsy patient populations with high unmet needs: the elderly (??65

Based on our results and other case reports of BRV use during pregnancy, further studies are necessary to confirm its pharmacokinetics and safety during pregnancy.

Effectiveness of Cenobamate in Postsurgical Patients: A Retrospective Claims-based Analysis (Colorado Convention Center | Exhibit Hall B-E) - Mar 8, 2024 - Abstract #AAN2024AAN_3952; We compared LOT adding cenobamate with those adding brivaracetam, clobazam, eslicarbazepine, lacosamide, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, or perampanel.7835 patients (52.4% female, mean age=39.3 years) were exposed to 11,771 LOT. Following surgery, cenobamate was associated with lower ER rates than 7 leading ASMs, and with lower inpatient days than all comparators except eslicarbazepine, suggesting that improved seizure control with cenobamate may provide significant cost savings and reductions in seizure-related morbidity and mortality.

Brivaracetam-Related Neurological Decline in a Patient With Complex Medical History (San Diego Convention Center, Area E (Hall A-B2, Ground Level)) - Feb 20, 2024 - Abstract #ATS2024ATS_5977; Introduction: Brivaracetam is a newer anticonvulsant that is a propyl analogue of levetiracetam...Of note, during a recent hospitalization, the patient was started on Cefepime for treatment of UTI and developed seizures afterwards, she was later discharged on Brivaracetam...Ammonia levels improved with holding tube feeds and treatment with lactulose and Rifaximin; however, there was no improvement in mental status...In our case ammonia levels were elevated as well suggesting a possible association. Further research is needed to better understand the relationship between Brivaracetam and neurological decline in patients with complex medical backgrounds, shedding light on the importance of careful medication reconciliation and close monitoring in such cases.
