Brief summary

This is a multicentre, open-label extension study to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Perampanel (E2007) as an adjunctive therapy in levodopa treated PD subjects with motor fluctuations. All subjects who have completed E2007-E044-213 or E2007-G000-309 will be candidates for entering this extension trial, provided that they meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria and have completed the core study, up to and including the final efficacy visit.

Inclusion criteria

Male or female subjects with idiopathic PD who have fulfilled the entry criteria to studies E2007-G000-309 or E2007-E044-213. Subjects must have completed the core efficacy study up to and including the final efficacy and follow up visits as applicable. Subjects with mild or moderate AEs thought to be related to Perampanel (E2007) can be entered into the study if the investigator considers it safe.

Exclusion criteria

1. Show evidence of clinically significant disease (i.e., severe cardiovascular or pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma, endocrine disease, history of peptic ulcer disease, history of myocardial infarction with residual atrial nodal or ventricular arrhythmias) that, in the opinion of the investigator, could affect either the patient's safety or the conduct of the study. 2. Pregnant or lactating women. 3. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) unless infertile (including surgically sterile) or practicing effective contraception (e.g., intrauterine device \[IUD\] or barrier method plus hormonal method). These subjects must have a negative urine pregnancy test at Visit 1 or 2 as indicated by entry into the study. These subjects must also be willing to remain on their current form of contraception for the duration of the study. Postmenopausal women may be recruited but must be amenorrhoeic for at least 1 year to be considered of non-child bearing potential as determined by the investigator. 4. Subjects with a past (within the past 5 years) or present history of drug or alcohol abuse as per Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fourth Edition (DSM IV) criteria. 5. Antipsychotics are permitted as necessary. Subjects may be taking anti-depressant medication, however the dose must be stable for 4 weeks prior to their first study visit (the visit at which the inclusion and

Perampanel (Placebo During Core Study)
Subjects entered this open-label extension study from the double-blind core study (E2007-G000-309). Subjects started on perampanel 2mg once daily for 2 weeks, followed by 4mg once daily for 2 weeks (Titration Phase); Subjects then continued onto the maintenance phase of perampanel 4mg once daily for 2 weeks. Subjects who did not tolerate the study drug at 4mg were allowed to down-titrate to 2mg. Subjects who did not tolerate 2mg were withdrawn from the study.
