Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients enrolled in Study E2007-E044-204 and who either completed 12 weeks of study drug treatment or who withdrew from the study due to lack of efficacy.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Pregnant or lactating women.
- •Women of child bearing potential unless infertile (including surgically sterile) or practicing effective contraception (e.g. abstinence, IUD-intrauterine device, or barrier method plus hormonal method). These patients must also be willing to remain on their current form of contraception for the duration of the study. Postmenopausal women may be recruited but must be amenorrhoeic for at least 1 year to be considered of non-child bearing potential.
- •Fertile men not willing to use reliable contraception and fertile men with partners not willing to use reliable contraception. These patients and their partners must also be willing to remain using reliable contraception for the duration of the study.
- •Patients with a past or present history of drug or alcohol abuse.
- •Patients with a past (within one year) or present history of psychotic symptoms requiring antipsychotic treatment. Patients may be taking anti-depressant medication, however the dose must have been kept stable for at least 8 weeks prior to baseline visit.
- •Patients with unstable abnormalities of the hepatic, renal, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastro-intestinal, haematological, endocrine or metabolic systems which might complicate assessment of the tolerability of the study medication.
- •Patients with significantly elevated liver enzymes (abnormal bilirubin or serum transaminase levels of more than 1.5 times the upper normal limit).
- •Patients with current or prior treatment (within 4 weeks prior to the Baseline visit) with medication known to induce the enzyme cytochrome P450 3A4 including but not limited to; carbamazepine; dexamethasone; ethosuximide; phenobarbital; phenytoin; primidone; rifabutin; rifampicin; and St John's Wort.
- •Current or prior treatment (within 4 weeks prior to baseline visit) with methyldopa, budipine, reserpine or intermittent use of liquid forms of levodopa or as needed (prn) apo-morphine.
- •Patients with previous stereotactic surgery (e.g. pallidotomy) for Parkinson's disease or who are likely to undergo surgery for Parkinson's disease while participating in this study.
Arms & Interventions
Perampanel (1-4 mg)
Subjects entered this open-label extension study from the double-blind core study (E2007-E044-204), and dosed placebo or perampanel. Subjects started this open-label extension study on perampanel 1 mg once daily for two weeks, followed by 2 mg once daily for two weeks; if they did not tolerate the 1 mg dose, subjects were withdrawn from the study. Subjects could be up-titrated to 3 or 4 mg in a sequential manner. Subjects could be down-titrated at any time to either 3, 2 or 1 mg in a sequential manner.
Intervention: Perampanel
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mean Change From Baseline in Total Daily OFF Time (Hours) During Open-label Extension Study
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 0, Week 12, Week 24, Week 36, Week 52, Week 78, Week 104, Week 130, Week 156
OFF state is when medication has worn off and is no longer providing benefits with regard to stiffness, slowness, and tremor. This outcome measure was based on data collected through use of a patient diary.
Secondary Outcomes
- Mean Change From Baseline in Total Daily ON Time (Without Dyskinesias or With Non-troublesome Dyskinesias) (Hours) During Open-label Extension Study(Baseline, Week 0, Week 12, Week 24, Week 36, Week 52, Week 78, Week 104, Week 130, Week 156)
- Mean Change From Baseline in UPDRS Part III (Motor) Score in ON State (Hours) During Open- Label Extension Study(Baseline, Week 0, Week 12, Week 24, Week 36, Week 52, Week 78, Week 104, Week 130, Week 156)
