DIACOMIT (stiripentol) is an oral capsule approved in 2018 for adjunctive treatment of severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy (SMEI). Its mechanism of action remains incompletely understood but likely involves GABAergic potentiation and cytochrome P450 inhibition, which increases levels of co-administered clobazam. It is used in a small, ultra-rare pediatric population with one of the most severe forms of early-onset epilepsy.
DIACOMIT is in peak lifecycle but serves an ultra-rare indication with modest Part D volume (229 claims in 2023), suggesting a small specialized commercial team focused on high-touch engagement.
unknown. Possible mechanisms of action include direct effects mediated through the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor and indirect effects involving inhibition of cytochrome P450 activity with resulting increase in blood levels of clobazam and its active metabolite.
