Increase of Brivaracetam serum concentration with introduction of Cenobamate

New introduction of Cenobamate to a pre-existing antiseizure regimen containing Brivaracetam leads to considerably increases in Brivaracetam, probably related to inhibition of CYP2C19. This needs to be taken into account when interpreting changes in treatment efficacy, but also when relating potential adverse effects to baseline vs. newly introduced treatment.

Abstract

New introduction of Cenobamate to a pre-existing antiseizure regimen containing Brivaracetam leads to considerably increases in Brivaracetam, probably related to inhibition of CYP2C19. This needs to be taken into account when interpreting changes in treatment efficacy, but also when relating potential adverse effects to baseline vs. newly introduced treatment.
