Abstract
The present disclosure is generally directed to methods of treating a disease, disorder, or condition, e.g., a neurological disorder, a disorder associated with excessive neuronal excitability, or a disorder associated with de novo gain-of-function or loss-of-function mutations in major central nervous system sodium channel genes, such as for example, SCN1A, SCN2A, and SCN8A, using a Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, of the following formula:
Claims28
A method for treating a genetic epilepsy or a genetic epilepsy syndrome in a human in need thereof, wherein the method comprises administering to the human a therapeutically effective amount of Compound 1 of the following formula:
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- wherein Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered to the human in need thereof in a therapeutically effective dosage amount in the range of 0.1 mg/kg/day to 10 mg/kg/day;
- and
- wherein the administration of the therapeutically effective dosage amount of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to the human in need thereof results in any one of (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), or (g);
- (a) a reduction in the severity of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the severity of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- or
- (b) a reduction in the number of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the number of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- or
- (c) a reduction in the frequency of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the frequency of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- or
- (d) a reduction in the severity of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the severity of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- and
- a reduction in the number of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the number of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- or
- (e) a reduction in the severity of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the severity of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- and
- a reduction in the frequency of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the frequency of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- or
- (f) a reduction in the number of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the number of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- and
- a reduction in the frequency of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the frequency of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- or
- (g) a reduction in the severity of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the severity of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- a reduction in the number of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the number of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- and
- a reduction in the frequency of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the frequency of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
A method for effecting any one of (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), or (g) in a human having a genetic epilepsy or a genetic epilepsy syndrome, wherein the method comprises administering to the human in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of Compound 1 of the following formula:
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- wherein (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), or (g) is:
- (a) a reduction in the severity of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the severity of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- or
- (b) a reduction in the number of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the number of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- or
- (c) a reduction in the frequency of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the frequency of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- or
- (d) a reduction in the severity of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the severity of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- and
- a reduction in the number of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the number of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- or
- (e) a reduction in the severity of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the severity of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- and
- a reduction in the frequency of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the frequency of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- or
- (f) a reduction in the number of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the number of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- and
- a reduction in the frequency of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the frequency of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- or
- (g) a reduction in the severity of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the severity of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- a reduction in the number of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the number of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- and
- a reduction in the frequency of seizures experienced by the human as compared to the frequency of seizures experienced by the human prior to administration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- and
- wherein Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered to the human in need thereof in a therapeutically effective dosage amount in the range of 0.1 mg/kg/day to 10 mg/kg/day.
