Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary study outcome will be the improvement on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) scores and/or on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS) scores between before and 6 months after treatment.;Secondary Objective: 1- To evaluate the improvement on the CBCL scores between before and 12 or 18 months after treatment. 2- To evaluate the improvement on the VABS scores between before and 12 or 18 months after treatment. 3- To evaluate the improvement between before and 12 or 18 months after treatment on scores of neuropsychological tests -selected to evaluate cognitive, motor, speech and language, emotion/reciprocal social interaction areas, attention and executive function- as well as on scores from questionnaires for aggressive behavior, quality of life and psychopathology. 4- To evaluate the frequency and grade of adverse events. 5- To investigate the association between the genotype and the therapeutic outcome. 6- To study epigenetic signature before and during Perampanel treatment. 7- To collect and analyze molecular and clinical data of POGZ-affected subjects.;Primary end point(s): The improvement on CBCL is defined as the shifting from ‘Clinical’ to ‘Borderline clinical’ or from ‘Borderline clinical’ to ‘Normal’ in at least one of the CBCL subscales (‘Internalization’, ‘Exteriorization’, ‘Other problems’ and ‘Total’). The improvement on VABS is defined as the shifting from ‘Low’ to ‘Moderately low’ or from ‘Moderately low’ to ‘Normal’) in ate least one of the VABS subscales (among ‘Communication’, ‘Daily living skills’, ‘Socialization’, ‘Motor skills’, or ‘Total’).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At month 6 after the beginning of Perampanel administration
