OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of brivaracetam (BRV) on steady-state plasma concentrations of commonly prescribed antiepileptic drugs (AEDs).
METHODS: Data were pooled from five randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled efficacy studies (NCT00175929, NCT00175825, NCT00490035, NCT00464269, and NCT01261325) in which adults with refractory epilepsy, and receiving stable doses of 1-2 AEDs, initiated adjunctive treatment with BRV (or placebo) for up to 12 weeks, following a 4-8 week baseline period. Concentrations of carbamazepine, carbamazepine epoxide, clobazam, clonazepam, lacosamide, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine (MHD), phenobarbital, phenytoin, pregabalin, topiramate, valproic acid and zonisamide, were measured during baseline and during BRV or placebo evaluation periods. Log-transformed data for patients receiving BRV dosages of 50-200 mg/day (or placebo) were evaluated using repeated measures analysis of covariance. Geometric least-squares means ratios of respective AED concentrations (treatment vs baseline) and their 90% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Relevant interaction of BRV on the respective AED was inferred if CIs were entirely outside of 0.80-1.25 limits.
RESULTS: Within the population for analysis (n = 1402), relevant interaction was observed for carbamazepine epoxide alone which increased up to 2-fold from baseline due to inhibition of epoxide hydrolase by BRV, and the effect size was not influenced by concomitant valproic acid. Relevant interaction was not observed for other AEDs.
CONCLUSION: In adults with focal seizures, adjunctive BRV treatment does not affect plasma concentrations of the evaluated AEDs but increases carbamazepine epoxide metabolite. Carbamazepine dose reduction should be considered if tolerability issues arise.
