disagree  Giovanna Lester: Discrepo. "Patrón de oro" es un término monetario. "Gold standard" el mejor tratamiento, método, etc., establecido en un gremio o industria. Mejor "norma de oro" o acaso "método de referencia".

la norma de oro


Explanation:
Hola Conrado,
Aunque en este caso la frase "gold standard" está usada en sentido figurado pues está hablando de un medicamento para la epilepsia y no dinero, tal vez esta información le ayude a entender la frase.
Buena suerte y saludos del Oso ¶:^)

"The phrase “gold standard” is defined as the use of gold as the standard value for the money of a country. If a country will redeem any of its money in gold it is said to be using the gold standard. The U.S. and many other Western countries adhered to the gold standard during the early 1900’s."

Explanation:
...existentes...

En español ´patrón oro" es término eminentemente financiero, bancario, económico. En un contexto médico me parece mejor el giro propuesto, o "el actualmente de primera opción"...
