Brief Title4-Year Open-Label Extension Phase of the Parallel-Group Study of E2007 in Patients With Refractory Partial Seizures
Official TitleA 4-Year Open-Label Extension Phase of the Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Escalation, Parallel-Group Study of E2007 as an Adjunctive Therapy in Patients With Refractory Partial Seizures
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of perampanel given as adjunctive,
long-term treatment in patients with refractory partial onset seizures.
Detailed Description
This is an Open-Label Extension (OLE) study for patients who completed the E2007-A001-206 or
the E2007-G000-208 double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation, parallel-group
studies.

For those patients who have completed E2007-A001-206 study, the 207 study will consist of
the following phases during the OLE:

1. OLE Titration Phase (4 weeks): Scheduled visits will be conducted every two weeks for 4
weeks. During this phase, the Investigators will start the E2007 dosing at 2 mg and
escalate to 4 mg in two weeks based on patient tolerability and safety.

2. OLE Maintenance Phase (208 weeks): Scheduled visits will be conducted one month
following the completion of OLE titration phase and every 3 months thereafter for a
total of 208 weeks. During this phase, patients will continue the highest tolerated
dose of E2007 that was established during the OLE Titration Phase.

3. OLE Safety Phase (one visit): The purpose of this visit (Week 216) is a four-week
follow up after the last dose of study drug was administered.

For those patients who have completed E2007-G000-208 study, the 207 study will consist of
the following phases during the OLE:

1. OLE Titration Phase (12 weeks): Scheduled visits will be conducted every two weeks for
12 weeks. Titration will be made in 2 weeks intervals, on the basis of individual
tolerance and in 2 mg incremental steps (ie, the patients will titrate from 2 mg to 4
mg to 6 mg to 8 mg to 10 mg to 12 mg).

2. OLE Maintenance Phase (208 weeks): Scheduled visits will be conducted one month
following the completion of OLE titration phase and every 3 months thereafter for a
total of 208 weeks. During this phase, patients will continue the highest tolerated
dose of E2007 that was established during the OLE Titration Phase.

3. OLE Safety Phase (one visit): The purpose of this visit (Week 224) is a four-week
follow up after the last dose of study drug was administered.

Eligibility Criteria
KEY INCLUSION CRITERIA:

study or Visit 9 of the E2007-G000-208 study.

2. Are reliable and willing to make themselves available for the study period and are
able to record seizures and report adverse events themselves or have a caregiver who
can record and report the events.

3. Females of childbearing potential must continue practicing a medically acceptable
method of contraception (e.g., abstinence, a barrier method plus spermicide, or
Intrauterine device (IUD)) and for two months after the end of the OLE study. Those
women using hormonal contraceptives must also continue using an additional approved
method of contraception (e.g., a barrier method plus spermicide, or IUD.

4. Are between the ages of 18 and 70 years of age, inclusive.

5. Are at least 40 kg (88 lb) of weight.

6. Are currently being treated with a stable dose of one, or a maximum of three licensed
Anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) and are known to take their medication(s) as directed.

KEY EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

1. Show evidence of clinically significant disease (cardiac, respiratory,
gastrointestinal, renal disease, etc.,) that, in the opinion of the Investigator(s),
could affect the patient's safety or trial conduct.

2. Show evidence of significant active hepatic disease and/or bilirubin > 1.5 mg/dL.
Stable elevations of liver enzymes, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate
aminotransferase (AST) due to concomitant medication(s) will be allowed if they are
less than two times the upper limit of normal (ULN).

3. Show evidence of significant active hematological disease. White blood cell (WBC)
count cannot be ? 2500/?L (2.50 1E+09/L) or an absolute neutrophil count ? 1000/?L
(1.00 1E+09/L).

4. Clinically significant ECG abnormality, including prolonged QTc (defined as ? 450
msec).

5. Presence of major active psychiatric disease. Patients taking a stable dose of
selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant will be allowed.
