Short abstract and comments

Given the efficacy of eslicarbazepine acetate in controlling partial-onset seizures, the good tolerability and the convenience of QD dosing instead of twice daily (BID) dosing, eslicarbazepine acetate could offer a beneficial alternative as a first-line therapy in patients newly diagnosed with epilepsy experiencing partial-onset seizures. Eslicarbazepine acetate is currently under development by BIAL - Portela & Cª, S.A. for the indication in monotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed partial-onset seizures. Study is being conducted in an estimated 170 centers in approximately 30 countries. This study aims to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of eslicarbazepine acetate as a monotherapy treatment.
