Summary

The goal of the present study is to evaluate ("screen") a large number (12) of different dual therapies of perampanel + another AED ("PMP+") for a large, 75-100% seizure frequency reduction. The design of the study will differ from usual AED studies. The study will be (i) open label, with (ii) a small n per group, n=6, with (iii) outcome measures a 'blockbuster effect': (a) ≥75 seizure frequency reduction; and (b) seizure freedom.

perampanel

Each group of 6 patients will be followed for 12 weeks of baseline observation on baseline medication. Seizure frequency will be counted, using subjects' self-reported seizure diaries. Perampanel will be titrated to 8-12 mg/day, with the final dose determined by side effects and tolerability of Perampanel at 8-12 mg/day doses. Titration will occur at the rate of 2 mg/week or two weeks, as tolerated.
