Bioequivalence Assessment Between Two Perampanel Oral Suspension Formulations

Prior treatment

• Subjects who have atopic constitution, asthma or known allergy for the API under investigation and/or any other ingredients of the investigational product.
• Symptomatic or asymptomatic orthostatic hypotension at screening defined by a decrease of SBP more than 20 mmHg or DBP more than 10 mmHg occurs between sitting/supine to standing position. The subject will be excluded (if the drug under investigation has antihypertensive properties or documented to have orthostatic hypotension as a side effect).
• Subjects who have given more than 400 mL blood within the last two months before the first drug administration and subjects who have participated in any drug research within the last two months before the first day of drug administration.
• Subjects who used any prescribed systemic medication (including OTC medication) within 2 weeks (or six elimination half-lives of this medication, whichever is longer) before the initiation of the study (except for single doses of analgesics which have no drug interaction with study product).
• Use of any vitamins or herbal products within 3 days prior to the initial dose of the study medication.
• Subjects who consumed grapefruit or grapefruit juice during 48 hr prior to drug administration, during the study.
• Intake of enzyme-inducing, organ toxic, long half-life drugs within 4 weeks before start of the study

Other illness

• Presence of clinical relevance of cardiovascular, neurological, musculoskeletal, hematological, hepatic, gastrointestinal, renal, pulmonary, endocrinological, metabolism or psychiatric disease.
• Presence or history of malabsorption or any gastrointestinal surgery except appendectomy or herniotomy.
• Subjects who have any chronic disease which might interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of the drug.
• History of alcohol abuse and/or regular use of more than 2 units of alcohol per day or positive alcohol test.

• Having BMI ranged between 18.5-30 kg/m2.
• Ability to communicate adequately with the clinical staff.
• Ability and agreement to comply with the study requirements.
• Normal BP and HR measured under stabilized conditions.
  • The Blood pressure is considered normal if the SBP falls within 100 to 140 mmHg, and the DBP within 60 to 90 mmHg.
  • The heart rate normal range is from 60 to 100 bpm.
  • Respiratory rate normal range is from 12 to 16 breaths per minute.
  • Temperature normal range is from 36.5ºC to 37.5ºC.
• Normal laboratory results within normal range or with clinically non-significant deviation including: Complete Blood Count, Clinical Chemistry: Random blood sugar, blood urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium, total bilirubin, alanine amino transferase (ALT/GPT), aspartate amino transferase (AST/GOT), alkaline phosphatase, total protein in serum, Lipid profile, urinalysis.
• Negative Virology tests: HIV (HIV Ab), hepatitis B (HBsAg), hepatitis C (HCV IgG).
• Negative results for abused drug analysis in urine (Amphetamine (AMP), Barbiturate (BAR), Benzodiazepine (BZO), Cannabinoid (THC), Cocaine, Opiates (Morphine (MOP), Tramadol (TRA)).
