Comparison of Levetiracetam and Controlled-Release Carbamazepine in Newly Diagnosed Epilepsy
Neurol 68:402-408, Brodie,M.J.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Levetiracetam and controlled-release carbamazepine produced equivalent seizure freedom rates in newly diagnosed epilepsy at optimal dosing in a setting mimicking clinical practice. This trial has confirmed in a randomized, double-blind setting previously uncontrolled observations that most people with epilepsy will respond to their first-ever antiepileptic drug at low dosage.
