Eisai and Bial’s epilepsy drug Zebinix has shown effectiveness on par with that of the current standard of care in newly diagnosed focal epilepsy patients.
A pooled analysis of real-world data from over 2,000 patients with epilepsy has shown that Eisai and Bial’s Zebinix is safe and effective when switching from previous treatment with carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine.
The European Medicines Agency has cleared use of Bial and Eisai’s sodium channel blocker Zebinix for use as a once-daily monotherapy to treat adults with newly-diagnosed partial-onset epilepsy, widening its treatment scope in the region.
