Long-term cenobamate safe for patients with treatment-resistant focal seizures

02 Aug 2021

Long-term use of cenobamate in the adjunctive setting appears to be safe and tolerable in the treatment of refractory focal seizures among patients taking up to three antiseizure medications (ASMs), according to the results of the open-label extension (OLE) of the YKP3089C013 study.
