What the trials found For clinicians

Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome: what the trials found

Several interventions demonstrated significant reductions in seizure frequencies for patients with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome. GWP42003-P showed a reduction in drop seizure frequency of -41.86%, -37.16%, and -17.17% (p=0.0047) 2, and -43.90% or -21.80% (p=0.0135) in a 20 mg/kg/day dose study 5. In the GWP42003-P studies, a significant number of participants achieved at least a 50% reduction in drop seizure frequency [2, 5]. Rufinamide was associated with substantial reductions in tonic-atonic seizures (ranging from -39.3% to -47.6%) and total seizure frequency (ranging from -46.3% to -52.0%) 8, as well as significant reductions in other types of seizures (up to -95%) 8. Rufinamide also showed a reduction in tonic-atonic seizure frequency of -24.20% and -3.25% (p=0.003) and total seizure frequency of -32.90% and -3.05% (p=<0.001) 9. Clobazam resulted in a median reduction of 92.3% to 92.7% in the weekly rate of drop seizures 10.

ZX008 (Fenfluramine Hydrochloride) showed significant reductions in the frequency of seizures resulting in drops compared to placebo (-7.59%, -26.49%, -17.89%, and -34.52%; p=0.0008) 3. In studies involving ZX008, treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported in 83.0% or 96.9% of participants 3, and 75.5% of participants in another study 7. Additionally, tDCS was associated with specific outcomes for the number of seizures after treatment (ranging from 35.53 to 93.43) and the number of epileptic discharges (ranging from 585.33 to 831.43), both reaching statistical significance (p=<0.05) 1.

In a study evaluating Rufinamide, there was no significant difference in Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) Total Problem T-scores at the end of a 2-year treatment period (p=0.6928) 6.

Recent results — preliminary, needs further review

  • TAK-935 showed a reduction in seizure frequency per 28 days during both the treatment period (-30.05%, p=0.0024) and maintenance period (-27.76%, p=0.0007) 11. In the Dravet Syndrome stratum, convulsive seizure frequency decreased by -36.50% (p=0.0001) during the maintenance period 11.

For the clinician treating this condition

  • Multiple agents including GWP42003-P, Rufinamide, and Clobazam have demonstrated statistically significant reductions in drop seizures and total seizure frequency.
  • ZX008 (Fenfluramine Hydrochloride) shows efficacy in reducing drop seizures but is associated with high rates of treatment-emergent adverse events.
  • Rufinamide demonstrates consistent reduction across various seizure types, including tonic-atonic and other non-tonic-atonic seizures.
