HATFIELD, England, June 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

New data from across Eisai's epilepsy portfolio are to be presented at this year's European Congress on Epileptology (ECE) in Stockholm. New safety data on the behavioural and metabolic profile of Fycompa® (perampanel) will be presented in one poster and two podium presentations, with ten additional real world clinical experience posters arising from Eisai-supported Investigator-Initiated Studies to be presented. New data for Zonegran® (zonisamide) as adjunctive and monotherapy, and two abstracts related to Inovelon® (rufinamide) will also be presented at ECE. Seizure outcomes and safety data from an interim analysis of the on-going non-interventional EPOS study (Eslicarbazepine acetate in Partial-Onset Seizures) for Zebinix® (eslicarbazepine acetate) will feature in a best poster presentation.

To complement the new data at ECE, Eisai will hold an educational symposium on Monday 30 June, 16.30-18.00 CET in Room A2, titled 'Making a mark in epilepsy care: Can we do more?'. Topics covered will include management of the transition from child to adult epilepsy care, compliance challenges and the impact of new anti-epileptic drugs on anticonvulsant treatment selection in the add-on setting.  

"These new data to be presented at ECE 2014 reinforce Eisai's on-going commitment to provide treatment options for managing epilepsy in different patient populations," commented Neil West, Head of Epilepsy Business Unit, Eisai EMEA. "Epilepsy remains a challenging condition to treat and data such as these can provide an important insight into how our epilepsy products can support people with epilepsy."

The continued development of its epilepsy portfolio underscores Eisai's human health care (hhc) mission, the company's commitment to innovative solutions in disease prevention, cure and care for the health and wellbeing of people worldwide. Eisai is committed to the therapeutic area of epilepsy and to address the unmet medical needs of people with epilepsy and their families. Eisai is proud to currently market more epilepsy products in EMEA than any other company.

Data to be presented at ECE include:

Notes to Editors 

About Fycompa® (perampanel) 

Perampanel is indicated for the adjunctive treatment of partial onset seizures, with or without secondarily generalised seizures, in patients with epilepsy aged 12 years and older.[1]

Perampanel is a highly selective, non-competitive AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid)-type glutamate receptor antagonist that has demonstrated seizure reduction in Phase II and III studies. AMPA receptors, widely present in almost all excitatory neurons, transmit signals stimulated by the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate within the brain and are believed to play a role in central nervous system diseases characterised by excess neuroexcitatory signalling including epilepsy.[1]

Further information for healthcare professionals can be found at http://www.fycompa.eu  

About Zonegran® (zonisamide)  

Zonisamide is indicated as monotherapy in the treatment of partial seizures, with or without secondary generalisation, in adults with newly diagnosed epilepsy.[2] Zonisamide is also indicated as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of partial seizures, with or without secondary generalisation, in adults, adolescents and children aged six years and above.[2]

Zonisamide has a broad spectrum of anti-epileptic modes of action and has no appreciable effects on steady-state plasma concentrations of other AEDs, such as phenytoin, carbamazepine and valproate.[2] Zonisamide is one of only four AEDs with level A efficacy/effectiveness evidence as initial monotherapy for adults with partial onset seizures.[3]

Further information for healthcare professionals can be found at http://www.zonegran.eu

About Inovelon® (rufinamide) 

Rufinamide is indicated as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) in patients four years of age and older.[4]

Rufinamide is a triazole derivative that is structurally unrelated to currently marketed anti-epileptic drug. It is believed to regulate the activity of sodium channels in the brain which carry excessive electrical charges. The agent was approved for adjunctive therapy for seizures associated with LGS in Europe (under the brand name Inovelon) in 2007.[4] Inovelon is available as film-coated tablets containing 100mg, 200mg, and 400mg rufinamide and as a 40 mg/ml oral suspension.

About Zebinix®(eslicarbazepine acetate)

Eslicarbazepine acetate is indicated as adjunctive therapy in adults with partial onset seizures, with or without secondary generalisation.[5]

Eslicarbazepine acetate is a voltage-gated sodium channel blocker.[6] The molecule interacts competitively with the inactive state of the sodium ion channel,[6],[7] preventing its return to the active state, and thereby inhibiting repetitive neuronal firing.[6] The efficacy of eslicarbazepine acetate was demonstrated in an initial proof-of-concept Phase II study[8] and four subsequent Phase III randomised, placebo controlled studies in 1,703 adult patients with refractory partial onset seizures.[5],[9],[10],[11]

Zebinix® is the EU trade name for eslicarbazepine acetate

Zebinix® is under license from BIAL

About Epilepsy  

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological conditions in the world, affecting approximately eight in 1,000 people in Europe, and an estimated 50 million people worldwide.[12],[13] Epilepsy is a chronic disorder of the brain that affects people of all ages. It is characterised by abnormal discharges of neuronal activity which causes seizures. Seizures can vary in severity, from brief lapses of attention or jerking of muscles, to severe and prolonged convulsions. Depending on the seizure type, seizures may be limited to one part of the body, or may involve the whole body. Seizures can also vary in frequency from less than one per year, to several per day. Epilepsy has many possible causes but often the cause is unknown.
