アブストラクト | BACKGROUND: Multiple lines of evidence suggest a role of inflammation in epilepsy. Seizure incidence in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) is twofold to threefold higher than the age-matched general population. OBJECTIVES: To explore the association of MS disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) and FDA-approved Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (for lymphocytic malignancies) with the occurrence of epilepsy using the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. DESIGN: Secondary analysis of the FAERS database. METHODS: We conducted a disproportionality analysis of FAERS between 2003-Q4 and 2023-Q3. MS DMTs and the Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, ibrutinib, were included in the analysis. An inverse association was defined by a 95% confidence interval (CI) upper limit of reporting odds ratio (ROR) <1. RESULTS: We found an inverse association of ibrutinib, ocrelizumab, ofatumumab, rituximab, and teriflunomide with epilepsy. The strongest inverse association was seen with ibrutinib (ROR: 0.338; 95% CI: 0.218-0.524). CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest the possibility of considering these medications for repurposing opportunities in epilepsy and support a potential pathogenic role of leukocyte subsets in seizure perpetuation. |
