Results from the first study in the United States designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of clobazam as adjunctive therapy in patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), one of the most severe forms of childhood epilepsy, demonstrated that clobazam is well tolerated.
In the trial, clobazam was shown to be effective in significantly reducing drop (or atonic) seizures, the most debilitating of the LGS seizure types, which can result in severe trauma to the brain and body, by 85.3 percent compared to baseline (in the high dose group versus 12 percent in the low dose group; P=.0001).
Currently, clobazam is widely available worldwide with approvals in more than 100 countries for various uses in both children and adults, including the treatment of epilepsy and anxiety.
