zonisamide and Baltic Myoclonic Epilepsy

zonisamide has been researched along with Baltic Myoclonic Epilepsy in 4 studies

Zonisamide: A benzisoxazole and sulfonamide derivative that acts as a CALCIUM CHANNEL blocker. It is used primarily as an adjunctive antiepileptic agent for the treatment of PARTIAL SEIZURES, with or without secondary generalization.
zonisamide : A 1,2-benzoxazole compound having a sulfamoylmethyl substituent at the 3-position.

Trial Outcomes

Percent Change From Baseline to the End of Treatment Period on the Action Myoclonus Score (Unified Myoclonus Rating Scale (UMRS) Section 4)

The range for Action Myoclonus Score (centrally read) is 0 (best) - 160 (worst). Percent change from Baseline = 100 X ((Baseline UMRS4 - Treatment UMRS4) / Baseline UMRS4). Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value prior to or on Randomization Visit. (NCT00368251)
Timeframe: From Baseline to End of Treatment Period (Week 14 or Early Discontinuation Visit)

InterventionPercent change (Median)
Placebo17.45
Brivaracetam 5 mg/Day-4.60
Brivaracetam 150 mg/Day12.34

Percent Change From Baseline to the End of Treatment Period on the Functional Disability Score (Unified Myoclonus Rating Scale (UMRS) Section 5)

The range for Functional Disability Score is 0 (best) to 28 (worst). Percent change from Baseline = 100 X ((Baseline UMRS5 - Treatment UMRS5) / Baseline UMRS5). Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value prior to or on Randomization Visit. (NCT00368251)

Percent Change From Baseline to the End of Treatment Period on the Myoclonus Patient Questionnaire (Unified Myoclonus Rating Scale (UMRS) Section 1)

The range for Myoclonus Patient Questionnaire is 0 (best) to 44 (worst). Percent change from Baseline = 100 X ((Baseline UMRS1 - Treatment UMRS1) / Baseline UMRS1). Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value prior to or on Randomization Visit. (NCT00368251)

Percent Change From Baseline to the End of Treatment Period on the Stimulus Sensitivity Score (Unified Myoclonus Rating Scale (UMRS) Section 3)

The range for Stimulus Sensitivity Score is 0 (best) to 17 (worst). Percent change from Baseline = 100 X ((Baseline UMRS3 - Treatment UMRS3) / Baseline UMRS3). Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value prior to or on Randomization Visit. (NCT00368251)

Global Evaluation Score (Investigator) at the End of Treatment Period

The Global Evaluation Scale Score (Investigator) ranges from 1 (Marked worsening) to 7 (Marked improvement). (NCT00368251)
