About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Uncontrolled, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Intravenous Perampanel as Substitute for Oral Tablet in Subjects With Partial Onset Seizures (Including Secondarily Generalized Seizures) or Primary Generalized Tonic-clonic Seizures

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of perampanel administered as a 30-minute intravenous infusion after switching from oral tablets (8 to 12 milligrams per day [mg/day]) as an adjunctive therapy in participants with epilepsy with partial onset seizures (POS) (including secondarily generalized seizures) or primary generalized tonic-clonic (PGTC) seizures.

Study groups in NCT03754582
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PerampanelExperimentalParticipants with POS with or without secondarily generalized seizures or PGTC seizures will receive perampanel 8 to 12 milligram (mg), tablets, orally, once daily for 28 days (Day -28 to Day -1) in Pretreatment Phase and followed by 8 to 12 mg dose of perampanel as intravenous infusion for 30 minutes, once daily from Day 1 to Day 4 in Treatment Phase, and then again 8 to 12 mg, tablets, orally, once daily from Day 5 to Day 11 in Follow-up Phase as an adjunctive therapy, along with 1 to a maximum of 3 marketed concomitant antiepileptic drugs (AEDs).
Receives: Drug: Perampanel

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    A SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: Resulted in death; was life-threatening; required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; was a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

    Measured: Up to 60 days (Pretreatment Phase: up to 28 days, Treatment Phase: up to 4 days, Follow-up Phase: up to 28 days after last dose)

  2. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an investigational product, whether or not considered related to the investigational product, any new disease or exacerbation of an existing disease, any deterioration in nonprotocol-required measurements of a laboratory value or other clinical test that resulted in symptoms, a change in treatment, or discontinuation of study drug, recurrence of an intermittent medical condition not present pretreatment, an abnormal laboratory test result was considered an AE if the identified laboratory abnormality led to any type of intervention, withdrawal of study drug, or withholding of study drug, whether prescribed in the protocol or not.

    Measured: Up to 60 days (Pretreatment Phase: up to 28 days, Treatment Phase: up to 4 days, Follow-up Phase: up to 28 days after last dose)

  3. Number of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Clinical Laboratory Parameter Values During Treatment and Follow-up Phase

    Measured: Up to Day 11 (Treatment Phase: at Day 4, Follow-up Phase: up to 7 days after last dose)

  4. Number of Participants With Abnormal Vital Sign Values During Treatment and Follow-up Phase

    Measured: Up to 11 days (Treatment Phase: up to 4 days, Follow-up Phase: up to 7 days after the last dose)

  5. Number of Participants With Abnormal Body Weight During Treatment and Follow-up Phase

    Measured: Up to 11 days (Treatment Phase: up to 4 days, Follow-up Phase: up to 7 days after the last dose)

  6. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Markedly Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) Value During Treatment and Follow-up Phase

    Measured: Up to Day 11 (Treatment Phase: at Day 4, Follow-up Phase: up to 7 days after the last dose)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mean Seizure Frequency Per Day in Pretreatment Phase, Treatment Phase and Follow-up Phase

    Seizure frequency was based on number of seizures per day, calculated as the number of seizures over the entire time interval divided by the number of days in the interval.

    Measured: Up to 39 days (Pretreatment Phase: up to 28 days; Treatment Phase: up to 4 days; Follow-up Phase: up to 7 days after the last dose)

  2. Plasma Concentration of Perampanel Before and After Switching From Oral Perampanel to 30-minute Intravenous Infusions of Perampanel

    Measured: Pretreatment Phase-Day -1: Pre-dose, 0.5 hours, 1 hours and 1.5 hours post-dose; Treatment Phase-Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and Day 4: Pre-dose and 0.5 hours after start of intravenous infusions

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Perampanel in people with Epilepsy and Seizures, run by Eisai Co., Ltd. at 13 sites in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Jan 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: Up to 60 days (Pretreatment Phase: up to 28 days, Treatment Phase: up to 4 days, Follow-up Phase: up to 28 days after last dose)). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Jan 2021.
