Extent of exposure to perampanelNearly 50% of patients received perampanel for >1 year Cumulative extent of patient exposure to perampanel (%) • Duration • 49% exposed to perampanel for >1 year • Median exposure: 51.4 weeks (1.1–128.1) • Dose • 91.4% received 10 or 12 mg/day • Mean dose: 10.1 mg Krauss et al.

Most common AEsoccurring in ≥10% subjects • Incidence of AEs occurring in ≥10% of patients As duration of exposure to each dose of perampanel varied in this study, it was not possible to determine if the incidence of AEs was dose-related Krauss et al. Epilepsia. 2013 Jan;54(1):126-34 . Study 307
Serious adverse events • Serious adverse events (SAEs) occurred in 13.2% of patients • The only SAEs that occurred in >1% patients were those related to seizures • Reported by n=24 patients (2%) • Status epilepticus was reported as an SAE in 9 (<1%) patients • Non-seizure-related SAEs that occurred in >5 patients were • Aggression (n=10, <1%), • Psychotic disorder (n=6, <1%) • Suicidal ideation (n=6, <1%) • Hospitalization was required in 4 of these patients; perampanel was discontinued in 4 • 3 deaths occurred • 1 due to a road traffic accident, 1 due to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, and 1 due to cerebral hemorrhage • None of the deaths were considered to be related to study treatment AEs are reported for the entire duration of perampanel exposure (including the double-blind phase for patients who took perampanel in the core Phase III studies).

Laboratory values and vital signs • There was a low incidence (0–4.5%) of markedly abnormal laboratory values • <1% of patients had AST or ALT levels >3-times the ULN • 1.7% of patients had CPK levels >5-times the ULN • The majority of markedly abnormal laboratory values at double-blind baseline were in patients taking concomitant carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, or valproic acid: • 34 of all 34 patients with abnormally low sodium • 41 of the 50 patients with low neutrophil values • 14 of the 24 patients with markedly low white blood cell count • No clinically important changes in ECG parameters • No patients had a QTcF orQTcB value >500 ms • <1% patients had a >60 ms change from baseline in QTcF or QTcB • Few patients (2%) had clinically notable changes in systolic or diastolic blood pressure (≥20 mmHg or ≥15 mmHg change, respectively) AST=aspartate aminotransferase; ALT=alanine aminotransferase; ULN=upper limit of normal; CPK=creatinine phosphokinase. Analysis period represents the entire duration of perampanel exposure (including the double-blind phase for patients who took perampanel in the core Phase III studies). Safety analysis set.

Conclusions • Long-term adjunctive perampanel (mean dose 10 mg/day) has a favorable tolerability profile in patients with refractory partial-onset seizures • Retention rate was >70% after average treatment duration of nearly 1 year • Long-term safety and tolerability were consistent with Phase II and III clinical trial data • Most frequent adverse events were dizziness, somnolence, headache, and fatigue • No new safety events were reported • Long-term perampanel treatment maintains the efficacy improvements seen in the double-blind studies, with data up to 2 years • Patients converting from placebo quickly matched efficacy improvements seen in double-blind studies • Improvements in seizure frequency and responder rate were seen at end of conversion period compared with double-blind maintenance period • These are likely to reflect the up-titration of perampanel dose Krauss et al.
