AAN 2024 | Update from the X-TOLE open label extension study of XEN1101 in focal epilepsy

Jacqueline French, MD, NYU Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, New York, NY, shares interim safety and efficacy data from the ongoing open-label extension (OLE) study on XEN1101 in adults with focal epilepsy. XEN1101, a potent, selective potassium channel opener, was studied in the Phase IIb X-TOLE study, where it was shown to induce a statistically significant reduction in seizure frequency in a dose-dependent manner. At 18-months of follow up in the OLE, over 50% of patients from the original study continue to receive the drug. Median percentage change in monthly focal onset seizure frequency was -83.4% at 18 months compared to baseline. Adverse events were mostly mild or moderate, with only 2.2% patients experiencing treatment-related serious adverse events. The ongoing X-TOLE2/X-TOLE3 Phase III studies are testing XEN1101 as an adjunctive treatment in adults with focal onset seizures on 1-3 antiseizure medications, while X-ACKT will test XEN1101 in patients with primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures. This interview took place at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting 2024 in Denver, CO.
