Clinical Trial Summary

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of perampanel on Primary Generalized Tonic Clonic (PGTC) seizure frequency in adolescents and adults maintained on one to two stable antiepileptic drugs.


Clinical Trial Description

This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, adjunctive-therapy study with an open-label Extension Phase. The Core Study consists of 2 phases: Prerandomization and Randomization. The Prerandomization Phase consisted of 2 periods: Screening (up to 4 weeks) and Baseline (4 or 8 weeks, depending on the accuracy of diary-documented seizures during Screening), during which participants will be assessed for eligibility to participate in the study. The Randomization Phase consisted of 3 periods: Titration (4 weeks), Maintenance (13 weeks), and Follow-up (4 weeks; only for those participants not entering into the Extension Phase). At the start of the Randomization Phase, eligible participants will be randomized to the perampanel or placebo treatment groups in a 1:1 ratio. The extension phase consists of 142 weeks. ;
