Definition der pharmakoresistenten Epilepsie: Konsensusvorschlag der ad hoc-Task Force der ILAE-Kommission für Therapeutische Strategien[1]

Zusammenfassung
Zur Verbesserung der Patientenversorgung und Förderung der klinischen Forschung hat die Internationale Liga gegen Epilepsie (ILAE) eine Task Force beauftragt, eine Konsensusdefinition der pharmakoresistenten Epilepsie zu erarbeiten. Der Gesamtrahmen der Definition hat 2 „hierarchische” Ebenen: Ebene 1 liefert ein allgemeines Schema zur Kategorisierung des Behandlungsergebnisses jeder therapeutischen Intervention, einschließlich eines minimal erforderlichen Datensatzes zur erfolgten Behandlung; Ebene 2 liefert anhand einer Reihe entscheidender Kriterien, die auf der Kategorisierung des Ansprechens auf Anwendungsversuche mit Antiepileptika (aus Ebene 1) beruhen, eine Kerndefinition der pharmakoresistenten Epilepsie. Als prüfbare Hypothese wird vorgeschlagen, eine pharmakoresistente Epilepsie als Versagen von 2 geeigneten Behandlungsversuchen mit vertragenen sowie angemessen ausgewählten und eingesetzten Antiepileptikaanwendungen (sei es als Mono- oder als Kombinationstherapie) zur Erzielung einer anhaltenden Anfallsfreiheit zu definieren. Diese Definition kann weiterentwickelt werden, wenn neue Daten verfügbar werden. Das Grundprinzip dieser Definition und die wichtigsten Regeln für ihre korrekte Anwendung werden diskutiert, und anhand von Beispielen wird die Anwendung der Definition in der klinischen Praxis veranschaulicht.
Abstract
To improve patient care and facilitate clinical research, the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) appointed a Task Force to formulate a consensus definition of drug resistant epilepsy. The overall framework of the definition has two „hierarchical” levels: Level 1 provides a general scheme to categorize response to each therapeutic intervention, including a minimum dataset of knowledge about the intervention that would be needed; Level 2 provides a core definition of drug resistant epilepsy using a set of essential criteria based on the categorization of response (from Level 1) to trials of antiepileptic drugs. It is proposed as a testable hypothesis that drug resistant epilepsy is defined as failure of adequate trials of two tolerated, appropriately chosen and used antiepileptic drug schedules (whether as monotherapies or in combination) to achieve sustained seizure freedom. This definition can be further refined when new evidence emerges. The rationale behind the definition and the principles governing its proper use are discussed, and examples to illustrate its application in clinical practice are provided.
