Intravenous Perampanel as an Interchangeable Alternative to Oral Perampanel: A Randomized, Crossover, Phase I Pharmacokinetic and Safety Study.


ABSTRACT: Intravenous (IV) drug administration enables treatment of epilepsy when oral administration is temporarily not feasible. Perampanel is a once-daily antiseizure medication currently available as oral formulations. Study 050 (NCT03376997) was an open-label, randomized, single-dose, crossover study to evaluate the interchangeability of oral and IV perampanel in healthy subjects (N = 48). Bioequivalence of single 12-mg doses of IV (30-, 60-, or 90-minute infusion) and oral perampanel, ≥6 weeks apart, was assessed. Analyses indicated bioequivalence of area under the plasma concentration-time curve extrapolated to infinity for 30- and 60-minute IV infusions and oral perampanel doses (geometric mean ratio [90% confidence interval], 0.93 [0.84-1.02] and 1.03 [0.97-1.09], respectively); however, IV maximum observed drug concentration (Cmax ) values were 1.35- to 1.61-fold higher than Cmax . Simulated plasma concentration-time profiles using pooled pharmacokinetic data further supported oral and IV perampanel interchangeability in two scenarios: 12-mg per day IV dosing during a temporary 7-day switch from oral steady-state maintenance therapy, and treatment initiation with 2-mg perampanel. Thirty-four (70.8%) subjects experienced treatment-related adverse events. The IV perampanel safety profile was similar to that of oral perampanel without new safety concerns. Perampanel IV infusions may be a suitable temporary alternative to oral perampanel for treatment maintenance and/or initiation.
