Bioavailability and Food Effect Study of 3 Types of Carisbamate

Carisbamate is currently under investigation as an adjuvant antiepileptic therapy in Lennox-Gastaut patients. Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a rare and highly debilitating form of childhood epilepsy that typically is diagnosed between 2 and 8 years of age, with peak onset at 3 to 5 years of age, and frequently persists into adulthood. Treatment options are limited and complicated by the multiple seizure types associated with LGS. Given the breadth of physical and cognitive disabilities associated with LGS, the development of antiseizure medications with appropriate oral dosing forms is needed to ensure administration feasibility and compliance in the target population.
