Epilepsy Clinical Trial

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Study With an Open-label Extension Phase to Evaluate the Effect of Perampanel (E2007) on Cognition, Growth, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics When Administered as an Adjunctive Therapy in Adolescents (12 to Less Than 18 Years of Age) With Inadequately Controlled Partial-onset Seizures

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is designed to investigate the short- and long-term effects of perampanel on cognition, growth, and development in adolescents.

Clinical Trial Description

This study consisted of the Core Study and the Extension Part A and B. The Core Study consisted of 2 phases: Prerandomization and Randomization. The Prerandomization Phase lasted up to 1 week, during which participants were assessed for their eligibility to participate in the study. The Randomization Phase consisted of 3 periods: Titration (6 weeks), Maintenance (13 weeks), and Follow-up (4 weeks; only for those participants not rolling over into the Extension Phase). During the Core Study Titration and Maintenance Periods, participants were randomized into perampanel (2 to 12 mg per day) or placebo treatment groups in a 2:1 ratio within each of the age-matched categories (ie, greater than or equal to 12 to less than 15 and greater than or equal to 15 to less than 18).

The extension phase consisted of part A (Conversion Period - 6 weeks and Maintenance period - 25 weeks) and Part B (Optional Extension Phase -52 weeks). The maximum duration for participation in Part B was 52 weeks. ;
