[PRESS RELEASE] – DUBLIN, Dec. 6, 2024 – Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc announced nine company-sponsored Epidiolex® (cannabidiol) posters are being presented at the American Epilepsy Society (AES) 2024 Annual Meeting, being held Dec. 6-10 in Los Angeles, Calif.
Data presented at the meeting includes updated analyses of real-world data from the BECOME-TSC (BEhavior, COgnition, and More with Epidiolex) caregiver survey, which characterizes and quantifies seizure and non-seizure outcomes in patients with epilepsy and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) treated with Epidiolex.
An additional presentation showcases data from the BECOME-LTC survey, which evaluated the perspectives of nurses who care for patients with epilepsy in long-term care (LTC) facilities and group homes, reporting improvements in seizure frequency and in certain non-seizure outcomes associated with Epidiolex treatment.
Further, the first presentation of data from the EpiCom trial, a prospective, interventional trial evaluating the impact of adjunctive Epidiolex on TSC-associated neuropsychiatric disorders (TAND), revealed improvements in behavioral symptom severity following treatment initiation.
“Our real-world data presentations at AES 2024, including novel findings from the BECOME-LTC, BECOME-TSC and EpiCom studies, demonstrate the meaningful impact of Epidiolex in the treatment of patients with rare epilepsies,” said Dr. Sarah Akerman, M.D., head of neuroscience global medical and scientific affairs of Jazz Pharmaceuticals. “These findings increase our understanding of Epidiolex’s benefits beyond seizure control, addressing unmet needs across a range of epilepsy syndromes for people living with rare epilepsies and demonstrating reproducibility and consistency of effect across different populations.”
Data highlights include:
- A prespecified three-month analysis of the EpiCom trial reporting TSC-associated neuropsychiatric disorders (TAND)-associated outcomes demonstrated improvements after initiating adjunctive Epidiolex treatment in the severity of behavioral problems in patients with TSC as reported by the TAND Self-Report Quantified Checklist and Aberrant Behavior Checklist.
- Two updated analyses of real-world outcomes from the BECOME-TSC study showed that, of 55 caregivers who completed the survey, 89% planned to continue Epidiolex treatment for their loved one. The most important stated reasons for continuing Epidiolex included seizure and non-seizure benefits such as reduced seizure frequency and severity/duration as well as TAND-related improvements in cognition and language/communication.
- Results from the BECOME-LTC (BEhavior, COgnition, and More with Epidiolex in the Long-Term Care Setting) survey found that, among 102 nurses surveyed, 85% reported a reduction in overall frequency of any seizure type after Epidiolex initiation, with 49% reporting a greater than 50% reduction. Improvements were also observed across different seizure subtypes as well as in non-seizure outcomes, with nurses reporting improvements in emotional functioning, sleep, cognitive abilities, ability to communicate, and physical functioning.
- Results from CARE-EpiC (Caregiver Analysis of Real-world Epidiolex in Epilepsy Context), a cross-sectional caregiver survey, demonstrated reduced caregivers’ need for additional support of their dependents’ physical, emotional, and behavioral care after Epidiolex initiation and characterized improvements in their dependents’ well-being as well as caregivers’ experiences.
- A subgroup analysis evaluating treatment outcomes in patients with TSC (TSC group) versus other types of focal epilepsy (non-TSC group) treated with Epidiolex in the U.S. Expanded Access Program, found Epidiolex has similar effectiveness in TSC and other focal epilepsies, regardless of focal epilepsy type, further reinforcing the clinical profile of Epidiolex as a broad-spectrum agent. In the TSC group, Epidiolex was associated with a median reduction from baseline of 51%–87% in focal seizures and 44%–87% in total seizures. In the non-TSC group, Epidiolex was also associated with a median reduction from baseline of 46%–75% in focal and 46%–74% in total seizures.
Epidiolex is indicated for the treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), Dravet syndrome or TSC in patients 1 year of age and older. All AES 2024 abstracts are available online at the following link: https://aesnet.org/education/annual-meeting/aes-abstract-search.
