Popis: We assessed efficacy and safety of perampanel (selective noncompetitive AMPA receptor antagonist) for primary generalised tonic-clonic (PGTC) seizures. Patients ≥12years with confirmed IGE; ≥3 PGTC seizures/8 weeks prior to randomization; receiving 1–3 concomitant AEDs were recruited. Trial consisted of 4–week screening; 4–8 week Baseline, 1:1 Randomization (perampanel titrated over 4 weeks to 8mg or highest tolerated dose versus placebo), 13–week Maintenance, 4–week Follow-up and Extension Phases. 164 patients were randomized; full analysis set included 81 patients each on perampanel and placebo. Median percent change in PGTC seizure frequency/28 days during Titration/Maintenance versus Baseline was –76.5% with perampanel versus –38.4% placebo; P
