Study population: epilepsy patients who had failed clinical treatment with 1-3 anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) with the optimal dose and course of treatment and needed additional treatment.

Who may be able to join

  • Within 1 year before taking perampanel, the frequency of epileptic seizures was ≥1 time/month on average;
  • 1-3 kinds of AEDs have been used, and the optimal dose and course of treatment have been reached, but the effect is not good. Perampanel is used as an additional treatment;
  • Follow up for at least 3 months;

About this study

Official title: A Real-world Clinical Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of Perampanel as an add-on Treatment for Epileptic Seizure

This study is a real-word clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of perampanel as an add-on treatment for epileptic seizure. The enrolled subjects were epilepsy patients who had failed clinical treatment with 1-3 anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) with the optimal dose and course of treatment and needed additional treatment. The study was a real-world prospective clinical study, and the initial and maximum doses of perampanel were individualized by neurologists according to the patient's clinical situation.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, prospective, observational study. Subjects who meet all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria will be received perampanel. Baseline seizure counts (frequency) data is collected by subjects or guardian/legally authorized representative, retrospectively.

It is expected to enroll 600 patients with epilepsy who are eligible for inclusion enrollment and receiving Perampenal from January 2021 to October 2021. The initial and maximum doses of perampanel were individualized by neurologists according to the patient's clinical situation. The patients were followed up for 6 months and recorded the frequency of seizures and self-assessment of improvement. Safety will be assessed by monitoring and recording of all of AEs and serious adverse events (SAEs), discontinuation during 6 months treatment (patient spontaneous reporting).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PerampanelDrug

    Also called Fycompa

    For patients ≥12 years old, the initial dose is 2 mg/d, and according to the clinical response and tolerance of the patient, the dose is increased to the minimum clinically effective dose in increments of 2 mg, and the interval between dose increases is not less than 2 weeks.

    For patients <12 years, according to the actual clinical situation, the initial dose and addition plan are judged by the investigator.

What is being measured

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

  1. 50% response rate of Perampanel

    Proportion of subjects who have at least 50% reduction in total seizure frequency during the Maintenance Period relative to the Baseline

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Seizure-free rate of Perampanel

    Proportion of subjects who achieve seizure-free status for total seizure during the Maintenance Period

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Retention rate of Perampanel

    Percentage of subjects still using perampanel after the Maintenance Period

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Safety and Tolerability

    Incidence of all of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and discontinuation from treatment

    Measured: 6 months

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in China. 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.

Are results available for this study?

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?

50% response rate of Perampanel (time frame: 6 months). 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 25 Feb 2022.
