Seizure Reduction

Vimpat Demonstrated Greater Reduction in Seizure Frequency

Graph: Median percent reduction of seizure frequency with Vimpat versus placebo
  • * Per 28 days from baseline to maintenance.
  • P=0.0023. Statistically significant difference as compared to placebo.
  • Vimpat demonstrated onset of action as early as week 11
  • In the intent-to-treat analysis of pooled data for the 3 pivotal studies, median percent reduction of seizure frequency was1:
  • 18% with current therapy + placebo (n=359)
  • 33% with current therapy + Vimpat 200 mg/day (n=267)
  • 37% with current therapy + Vimpat 400 mg/day (n=466)

Seizure reduction results with Vimpat were demonstrated in a challenging patient population. The baseline seizure status and treatment history of the study patients indicated that:

  • 84% of patients were still experiencing seizures on 2 or more concomitant antiepileptic drugs (AEDs)
  • Patients experienced an average of 10 to 17 seizures per month at baseline, despite treatment with 1, 2, or 3 AEDs
  • 45% had tried 7 or more AEDs over their lifetime1
  • Approximately 17% of patients were being treated with vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)1

In 49% of Patients, Vimpat Reduced Seizures by Half or More

Graph: Greater than or equal to 50 percent responder rate from baseline with Vimpat versus placebo
  • ‡ Per 28 days from baseline to maintenance.
  • § P<0.05.
  • For the intent-to-treat population of the 3 pivotal studies, ≥50% responders for patients treated with Vimpat 200 mg/day were 33% and 35%; with Vimpat 400 mg/day, 41%, 38%, and 41%; vs 22%, 18%, and 26% for those receiving placebo2-4

Vimpat: More days without seizures

  • Seizure-free days increased 8% with Vimpat 200 mg/day and 12% with Vimpat 400 mg/day vs 6% with placebo1

Vimpat: More patients seizure free

  • More patients taking Vimpat achieved seizure freedom during the maintenance phase than patients receiving placebo (3.3% vs 0.9%)1 ∥

∥ 400 mg/day.
