Abstract Details

Efficacy and Safety of Adjunctive Perampanel 4 mg/day in Pediatric Patients (Aged 4 to <12 Years) with Partial-Onset Seizures (POS) or Primary Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures (PGTCS) in Study 311

To report efficacy/safety of adjunctive perampanel 4 mg/day in pediatric patients (aged 4 to <12 years) with POS (with/without secondarily generalized seizures [SGS]) or PGTCS in Study 311.
Perampanel is a once-daily oral anti-seizure medication (ASM) for POS and PGTCS. Study 311 (NCT02849626) was a multicenter, open-label, single-arm study of perampanel oral suspension in pediatric patients (aged 4 to <12 years) with POS (with/without SGS) or PGTCS.
The Core Study comprised 4-week Pretreatment, 23-week Treatment (11-week Titration; 12-week Maintenance), and 4-week Follow-up Periods. Efficacy assessments included median percent reductions in seizure frequency per 28 days from baseline during the Treatment Period, and 50% responder and seizure-freedom rates during Maintenance in patients receiving a modal (most frequent) perampanel dose of 4 mg/day. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were assessed in patients receiving perampanel 4 mg/day at onset of their TEAE(s).
Overall, 30 patients received perampanel 4 mg/day (modal dose; POS: n=24, SGS: n=10, PGTCS: n=6). Median percent reductions in seizure frequency per 28 days for POS, SGS, and PGTCS were 34.2%, 36.6%, and 100.0%, respectively. Fifty-percent responder rates for POS, SGS, and PGTCS were 10/24 (41.7%), 5/10 (50.0%), and 3/4 (75.0%), respectively. Seizure-freedom rates for POS, SGS, and PGTCS were 3/24 (12.5%), 2/10 (20.0%), and 3/4 (75.0%), respectively. TEAEs occurred in 60/145 (41.4%), 26/52 (50%), and 14/31 (45.2%) patients with POS, SGS, and PGTCS, respectively, who were receiving perampanel 4 mg/day at onset of their TEAE(s). The most common TEAE in patients with POS and SGS was nasopharyngitis (6.2% and 11.5%); dizziness, irritability, and pyrexia were the most common in patients with PGTCS (9.7% each).

These data suggest adjunctive perampanel 4 mg/day is an effective and well tolerated ASM for pediatric patients (aged 4 to ?12 years) with POS (with/without SGS) or PGTCS.
