Pharmacology

The exact mechanism by which perampanel exerts antiseizure activity is not definitively known; it is a noncompetitive antagonist of the ionotropic alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) glutamate receptor on postsynaptic neurons. Glutamate is a primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous center causing many neurological disorders from neuronal over excitation.

Absorption

Oral: Rapid and complete; food slows rate of absorption

Metabolism

Extensive via primary oxidation mediated by CYP3A4/5, and to a lesser extent by CYP1A2 and CYP2B6, and sequential glucuronidation

Excretion

Tablet: Feces (48%); urine (22%)

Time to Peak

0.5 to 2.5 hours; delayed ~1 to 3 hours with food

Half-Life Elimination

~105 hours

Protein Binding

~95% to 96%; primarily albumin and alpha₁-acid glycoprotein

Special Populations: Renal Function Impairment

Apparent clearance decreased by 27% in patients with mild renal impairment (CrCl 50 to 80 mL/minute), with a corresponding 37% increase in AUC.

Special Populations: Hepatic Function Impairment

The total (free and protein bound) exposure (AUC_0-inf) of perampanel was 50% greater in mild hepatic impairment and more than doubled (2.55-fold) in moderate hepatic impairment. The AUC_0-∞ of free perampanel in mild and moderate hepatic impairment was 1.8-fold and 3.3-fold greater, respectively. The half-life was prolonged in mild impairment (306 vs 125 hours) and moderate impairment (295 vs 139 hours).

Use: Labeled Indications

Partial-onset seizures: Treatment of partial-onset seizures with or without secondarily generalized seizures as adjunct or monotherapy in patients with epilepsy who are ≥4 years of age.

Primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures: Treatment of primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures as adjunct therapy in patients with epilepsy who are ≥12 years of age.

Contraindications

There are no contraindications listed in manufacturer's US labeling.

Canadian labeling: Hypersensitivity to perampanel or any component of the formulation.

Dosing: Adult

Note: Reduce the dosage in patients who experience serious psychiatric or behavioral reactions; discontinue immediately if symptoms are severe or worsening. Tablets and oral suspension may be used interchangeably.

Partial-onset seizures: Oral:

Patients not receiving enzyme-inducing AED regimens: Initial: 2 mg once daily at bedtime; may increase daily dose by 2 mg once daily no more frequently than at weekly intervals based on response and tolerability. Recommended maintenance dose: 8 to 12 mg once daily at bedtime; some patients may respond to 4 mg once daily; 12 mg once daily has resulted in somewhat greater reductions in seizure rates in some patients but with substantial increase in side effects.

Patients receiving enzyme-inducing AED regimens (eg, phenytoin, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine): Initial: 4 mg once daily at bedtime; may increase daily dose by 2 mg once daily no more frequently than at weekly intervals based on response and tolerability. Maintenance dose has not been established; highest dose used in clinical trials was 12 mg once daily.

Primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (adjunct): Oral:

Patients not receiving enzyme-inducing AED regimens: Initial: 2 mg once daily at bedtime; may increase dose by 2 mg once daily no more frequently than at weekly intervals based on response and tolerability. Recommended maintenance dose: 8 mg once daily at bedtime; if tolerated and further seizure control is needed, may increase up to 12 mg once daily (maximum dose: 12 mg once daily).

Patients receiving enzyme-inducing AED regimens (eg, phenytoin, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine): Initial 4 mg once daily at bedtime; may increase daily dose by 2 mg once daily no more frequently than at weekly intervals based on response and tolerability. Maintenance dose has not been established; highest dose used in clinical trials was 12 mg once daily.

Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.

Dosing: Geriatric

Refer to adult dosing. Increase dose no more frequently than every 2 weeks.

Dosing: Pediatric

Note: Dosing should be individualized based upon response and tolerability. Reduce the dosage in patients who experience serious psychiatric or behavioral reactions; discontinue immediately if symptoms are severe or worsening.

Partial seizures; adjunct or monotherapy: Children ≥4 years and Adolescents: Oral:

Patients not receiving moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducers: Initial: 2 mg once daily at bedtime; may increase daily dose by 2 mg increments no more frequently than at weekly intervals; recommended maintenance dose range: 8 to 12 mg once daily at bedtime; some patients may respond to doses of 4 mg/day. Although 12 mg doses showed somewhat greater efficacy (reduction in seizure rate) in some patients, the 12 mg dose was associated with substantially higher adverse effects; maximum daily dose: 12 mg/day.

Patients receiving moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducers (eg, phenytoin, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine): Initial: 4 mg once daily at bedtime; may increase daily dose by 2 mg increments no more frequently than at weekly intervals; target maintenance dose range not established; maximum reported dose is 12 mg/day. Monitor patients closely for response and tolerability when inducer is being introduced or withdrawn from therapeutic regimen; perampanel dosing adjustment may be necessary.

Primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (adjunct): Children ≥12 years and Adolescents: Oral:

Patients not receiving moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducers: Initial: 2 mg once daily at bedtime; may increase dose by 2 mg once daily no more frequently than at weekly intervals based on response and tolerability. Recommended maintenance dose: 8 mg once daily at bedtime; some patients may require 12 mg once daily at bedtime for further seizure control and if tolerated; maximum daily dose: 12 mg/day

Patients receiving moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducers (eg, phenytoin, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine): Initial: 4 mg once daily at bedtime; may increase daily dose by 2 mg once daily no more frequently than at weekly intervals; individualize dose based on response and tolerability; in trials, the maximum reported dose was 12 mg/day. Monitor patients closely for response and tolerability when inducer is being introduced or withdrawn from therapeutic regimen; perampanel dosing adjustment may be necessary.

Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.

Administration

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• CNS effects: Dizziness, fatigue (including lethargy and weakness), gait disturbances (including abnormal coordination, ataxia, and balance disorder), and somnolence may occur during therapy; patients should be cautioned about performing tasks that require alertness (eg, operating machinery, driving).

• Multiorgan hypersensitivity reactions: Potentially serious, sometimes fatal, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), also known as multiorgan hypersensitivity, has been reported in patients taking antiepileptic drugs, including perampanel. Symptoms may include fever, rash, lymphadenopathy, eosinophilia, and/or facial swelling, in association with other organ system involvement (eg, hepatitis, nephritis, hematological abnormalities, myocarditis, myositis). Monitor for signs and symptoms of possible disparate manifestations associated with lymphatic, hepatic, renal, and/or hematologic organ systems. Early symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions (eg, fever, lymphadenopathy) may occur without rash; discontinuation and conversion to alternate therapy may be required.

• Neuropsychiatric disorders: [US Boxed Warning]: Dose-related serious or life-threatening neuropsychiatric events (including aggression, anger, homicidal ideation and threats, hostility, and irritability) have been reported most often occurring in first 6 weeks of therapy in patients with or without prior psychiatric history, prior aggressive behavior, or concomitant use of medications associated with hostility and aggression; monitor patients closely especially during dosage adjustments and when receiving higher doses. Adjust dose or immediately discontinue use if severe or worsening symptoms occur; permanently discontinue for persistent severe or worsening psychiatric symptoms or behaviors. Inform patients and caregivers to contact their healthcare provider immediately if they experience any atypical behavioral and/or mood changes while taking perampanel or after discontinuing perampanel. Concurrent use with alcohol has been associated with significantly worsened mood and increased anger; patients should avoid the use of alcohol during therapy.

• Suicidal ideation: Pooled analysis of trials involving various antiepileptics (regardless of indication) showed an increased risk of suicidal thoughts/behavior (incidence rate: 0.43% treated patients compared to 0.24% of patients receiving placebo); risk observed as early as 1 week after initiation and continued through duration of trials (most trials ≤24 weeks). Monitor all patients for notable changes in behavior that might indicate suicidal thoughts or depression; notify health care provider immediately if symptoms occur.

Disease-related concerns:

• Hepatic impairment: Not recommended for use in patients with severe impairment; dosage adjustment recommended for mild to moderate hepatic impairment.

• Renal impairment: Not recommended for use in patients with severe impairment or on hemodialysis; use caution in patients with moderate impairment and consider slower titration.

Special populations:

• Elderly: Use caution in elderly patients due to increased risk of dizziness, gait or coordination disturbances, somnolence, fatigue-related events, and falls; proceed slowly with dosing titration in patients ≥65 years of age.

• Fall risk: Use with extreme caution in patients who are at risk of falls; use has been associated with falls and traumatic injury (including head injuries and bone fracture).

Dosage forms specific issues:

• Lactose: Formulation may contain lactose.

Other warnings/precautions:

• Withdrawal: Anticonvulsants should not be discontinued abruptly because of the possibility of increasing seizure frequency; therapy should be withdrawn gradually (≥1 week) to minimize the potential of increased seizure frequency, unless safety concerns require a more rapid withdrawal.

Monitoring Parameters

Seizure frequency/duration; suicidality (eg, suicidal thoughts, depression, behavioral changes) during therapy and for at least 1 month after discontinuation; weight

Reproductive Considerations

Contraceptives containing levonorgestrel may be less effective; additional nonhormonal forms of contraception are recommended during perampanel therapy and for 1 month after discontinuation of therapy.

Pregnancy Considerations

Adverse events have been observed in animal reproduction studies at doses equivalent to the human dose (based on BSA).

Patients exposed to perampanel during pregnancy are encouraged to enroll in the North American Antiepileptic Drug (NAAED) Pregnancy Registry by calling 1-888-233-2334. Additional information is available at www.aedpregnancyregistry.org.
