About Cenobamate
Cenobamate (YKP3089) was discovered by SK Biopharmaceuticals and SK life science and is being investigated for the potential treatment of focal-onset seizures (previously known as partial-onset seizures) in adult patients with epilepsy. Cenobamate’s mechanism of action is not fully elucidated, but it is believed to work through two separate mechanisms: enhancing inhibitory currents through positive modulation of GABA-A receptors and decreasing excitatory currents by inhibiting the persistent sodium current.
Global trials for adults with focal‐onset seizures are ongoing to evaluate cenobamate safety. An additional clinical trial is investigating cenobamate safety and efficacy in adults with primary generalized epilepsy (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03678753).
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted the filing of the New Drug Application for cenobamate for the potential treatment of focal-onset seizures in adults in February 2019. Cenobamate is not approved by the FDA, European Medicines Agency (EMA) or any other regulatory authorities. Safety and efficacy have not yet been established.
