RT Journal Article T1 Effect of Cenobamate on Cognition in Patients with Drug‑Resistant Epilepsy with Focal Onset Seizures: An Exploratory Study A1 Serrano-Castro, Pedro Jesús A1 Ramírez-García, Teresa A1 Cabezudo-García, Pablo A1 García-Martín, Guillermina A1 De-La-Parra, Juan K1 Epilepsia K1 Medicamentos - Interacciones AB Most second and third generation antiseizure medications (ASMs) are associated with cognitive adverse events, which are a major concern for patients. However, the profile of cognitive adverse events differs between ASMs. This study investigated the effects of cenobamate on cognition in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) within the Spanish Expanded Access Program (EAP).This was a retrospective, observational study. Inclusion criteria were age ≥ 18 years, DRE with focal seizures, and availability of cognition assessments and EAP authorization. Data were sourced from the clinical records of patients who took part in the Spanish cenobamate EAP. Primary endpoints included cognition (based on 20 neuropsychological outcomes, including verbal and visuospatial episodic memory, verbal fluency, executive function, working memory, attention, and speed of processing), seizure frequency, and concomitant antiseizure medication (ASM) usage at 6 months.
