A risk-benefit assessment of therapies for Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

abstract：BACKGROUND:At time of approval, knowledge of the full benefit risk of any drug is limited, in particular with regards to safety. Post-approval surveillance of potential drug safety concerns is recognized as an important task of regulatory agencies. For innovative, often first-in-class drugs, safety knowledge at time of...
