Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Perampanel for the Reduction of Seizure Frequency in Patients With High-grade Glioma and Focal Epilepsy

Study Description

Brief Summary: This phase IV trial studies the side effects and how well perampanel works in reducing seizure frequency in patients with high-grade glioma and focal epilepsy. Perampanel is a drug used to treat seizures. Giving perampanel together with other anti-seizure drugs may work better in reducing seizure frequency in patients with high-grade glioma and focal epilepsy compared to alternate anti-seizure drugs alone.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Demonstrate the efficacy and safety of perampanel (PER) on seizure frequency in adult patients with biopsy-proven high-grade glioma and focal epilepsy compared with alternate anti-seizure drugs (ASDs). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the change in neurocognitive function and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) progression over the course of PER treatment with a daily dose of 4 mg (up to -8mg) in patients with biopsy-proven high-grade glioma and focal epilepsy compared with alternate ASDs. II. To identify a biomarker-specific response to seizure-reduction in patients treated with PER in patients with a biopsy-proven high-grade glioma (i.e., IDH-mutant versus \[vs\] wildtype). OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 groups. GROUP A: Patients receive perampanel orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 40 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. GROUP B: Patients receive ASD per standard of care for 40 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 12 months.
