Levetiracetam (Keppra(R)), developed by UCB, was approved in the U.S. in 1999 as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of partial-onset seizures in adults with epilepsy. It is also approved in several European countries. Lundbeck holds marketing rights to the drug in Canada, where it is under review by the regulatory authorities (1). The drug is also under evaluation for the treatment of neuropathic pain and migraine.
