Official title
Retrospective Evaluation of Cenobamate's Health Care Resources Utilization (HCRU) in the Management of Uncontrolled Focal Onset Seizures- A Retrospective, Chart Review Study
Overview
The Study is an observational, retrospective study which aim is to assess cenobamate's healthcare resources utilization (HCRU) in the management of uncontrolled focal onset seizures. The amin objective is to compare the resource utilization before and after the use of cenobamate. Data from medical charts will be used and inserted into the eCRF from which the analyses will be conducted. Data from 200 patients from 10 sites in 5 countries are included.
Primary outcome measures
- Impact of cenobamate used as adjunctive therapy on epilepsy-related healthcare resources utilization (HCRU), stratified by early and later treatment lines. [Time frame: 0-12 months]
- Impact of cenobamate used as adjunctive therapy on epilepsy-related healthcare resources utilization (HCRU), stratified by early and later treatment lines. [Time frame: 0-12 months]
- Impact of cenobamate used as adjunctive therapy on epilepsy-related healthcare resources utilization (HCRU), stratified by early and later treatment lines [Time frame: 0-12 months]
- Impact of cenobamate used as adjunctive therapy on epilepsy-related healthcare resources utilization (HCRU), stratified by early and later treatment lines [Time frame: 0-12 months]
Secondary outcome measures (10)
- Impact of cenobamate used as adjunctive therapy on the use of concomitant anti-seizure medications (ASMs) [Time frame: 0-12 months]
- Impact of cenobamate used as adjunctive therapy on the use of concomitant anti-seizure medications (ASMs) [Time frame: 0-12 months]
- Impact of cenobamate used as adjunctive therapy on the use of concomitant anti-seizure medications (ASMs) [Time frame: 0-12 months]
- Impact of cenobamate used as adjunctive therapy on the use of concomitant anti-seizure medications (ASMs) [Time frame: 0-12 months]
- Impact of cenobamate used as adjunctive therapy on epilepsy-related emergency and medical care [Time frame: 0-12 months]
- Effectiveness of cenobamate used as adjunctive therapy [Time frame: 0-12 months]
- Impact of cenobamate used as adjunctive therapy on epilepsy-related surgery [Time frame: 0-12 months]
- Impact of cenobamate used as adjunctive therapy on comorbidity-related healthcare resources utilization (HCRU) [Time frame: 0-12 months]
- Impact of cenobamate used as adjunctive therapy on phone calls/virtual interventions [Time frame: 0-12 months]
- Safety of cenobamate used as adjunctive therapy [Time frame: 0-12 months]
