Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of 50% Responders For All Seizures During the Maintenance Period of Core Study [ Time Frame: Week 10 to Week 23 ]
    A response of 50% will be defined as a decrease in 28-day seizure frequency of equal or greater than 50% compared to baseline seizure frequency.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of Participants Who Are Seizure-Free During the Maintenance Period of Core Study and During the Treatment Period of Core Study and Extension Phase [ Time Frame: Maintenance Period of Core study: Week 10 to Week 23; Treatment Period of Core Study and Extension Phase: Day 1 to Week 56 ]
  2. Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency For All Seizures During the Treatment Period of Core Study and During the Treatment Period of Core Study and Extension Phase [ Time Frame: Baseline, Treatment Period of Core study: Week 23, Treatment Period of Core Study and Extension Phase: Week 56 ]
  3. Percent Change From Baseline in Seizure Frequency For All Seizures During the Treatment Period of Core Study and During the Treatment Period of Core Study and Extension Phase [ Time Frame: Baseline, Treatment Period of Core study: Week 23, Treatment Period of Core Study and Extension Phase: Week 56 ]
  4. Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) at the End of the Treatment Period of Core Study and at the End of Extension Phase [ Time Frame: End of Treatment Period of Core Study: Week 23, End of Extension Phase: Week 56 ]
    Assessment of disease severity will utilize the CGIC scale at end of treatment to evaluate participant's change in disease status since initiation of treatment. The CGIC is a 7-point scale that measures a physician's global impression of a participant's clinical condition. Scale ranges from 1 to 7 with lower scores indicating improvement (1=very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved), higher scores indicating worsening (5=minimally worse, 6= much worse, 7=very much worse), and a score of 4 indicating no change.

  5. Subject Global Impression of Change (SGIC) at the End of the Treatment Period of Core Study and at the End of Extension Phase [ Time Frame: End of Treatment Period of Core Study: Week 23, End of Extension Phase: Week 56 ]
    SGIC is a 7-Point scale that provides a participant-determined summary measure of change from baseline of participant's status. Scale ranges from 1 to 7 with lower scores indicating improvement (1=very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved), higher scores indicating worsening (5=minimally worse, 6= much worse, 7=very much worse), and a score of 4 indicating no change.

  6. Change From Baseline in the Cognitive Drug Research (CDR) at the End of the Treatment Period of Core Study and at the End of Extension Phase [ Time Frame: Baseline, End of Treatment Period of Core Study: Week 23, End of Extension Phase: Week 56 ]
    The CDR System Global Cognition Score (cognitive test battery) is derived from 5 CDR System domain scores, also called factor scores: Power of Attention, Continuity of Attention, Quality of Episodic Memory, Quality of Working Memory, and Speed of Memory. The CDR assessment and Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) will be administered to participants 6 years and over and 2 years and over, respectively, using an age-appropriate version to assess cognitive function and behavior.

  7. Change from Baseline in CBCL at the End of the Treatment Period of Core Study and at the End of Extension Phase [ Time Frame: Baseline, End of Treatment Period of Core Study: Week 23, End of Extension Phase: Week 56 ]
    The CBCL is a questionnaire to assess behavioral and emotional problems in children as reported by the primary caregiver. It is standardized to evaluate maladaptive behavioral and emotional problems in ages 1.5 to 5 years (CBCL 1.5/5) or 6 to 18 years (CBCL). The CBCL examines three domains (Social Functioning, Mood and Anxiety Symptoms, and Externalizing Symptoms) by assessing 140 problem items that describe specific behavioral and emotional problems. Respondents indicate how accurately the statements describe the child by selecting from options on a 3-point Likert-type scale (0=Not True, 1= Somewhat or Sometimes True, or 2=Very True or Often True).

  8. Proportion of 25% and 75% Responders for all Seizures, During Maintenance Period of Core Study and During Treatment Period of Core Study and Extension Phase [ Time Frame: Maintenance Period of Core study: Week 10 to Week 23; Treatment Period of Core Study and Extension Phase: Day 1 to Week 56 ]
    A response of 25% is defined as a decrease in 28-day seizure frequency of equal or greater than 25% compared to baseline seizure frequency. 75% response is defined as a decrease in 28-day seizure frequency of equal or greater than 75% compared to baseline seizure frequency.

  9. Proportion of 50% Responders During Treatment Period of Core Study and Extension Phase [ Time Frame: Treatment Period of Core Study and Extension Phase: Day 1 to Week 56 ]
    A response of 50% is defined as a decrease in 28-day seizure frequency of equal or greater than 50% compared to baseline seizure frequency.

  10. Change from Baseline in Growth and Development Parameter - Height [ Time Frame: Baseline, Treatment Period of Core Study: Week 23; Extension Phase: Weeks 28, 40, and 56 ]
  11. Change from Baseline in Growth and Development Parameter - Weight [ Time Frame: Baseline, Treatment Period of Core Study: Weeks 2, 5, 8, 10, 14, 18 and 23; Extension Phase: Weeks 28, 40, 56, and 60 ]
  12. Change from Baseline in Growth and Development Parameter - Free Triiodothyronine (fT3) and Free Thyroxine (fT4) Levels in Blood [ Time Frame: Baseline, Treatment Period of Core Study: Week 23, Extension Phase: Week 56 ]
  13. Change from Baseline in Growth and Development Parameter - Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Levels in Blood [ Time Frame: Baseline, Treatment Period of Core Study: Week 23, Extension Phase: Week 56 ]
  14. Change from Baseline in Growth and Development Parameter - Insulin Like Growth Factors (IGF)-1 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Treatment Period of Core Study: Week 23, Extension Phase: Week 56 ]
  15. Proportion of Participants with any Treatment-Emergent Reports of Suicidal Ideation and Behavior on the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) and Intensity of These Behaviors Assessed using C-SSRS Scores [ Time Frame: Treatment period of Core Study: Day 1, Weeks 2, 5, 8, 10, 14, 18, and 23; Extension Phase: Weeks 28, 46, 56 and 60 ]
    C-SSRS rates an individual's degree of suicidal ideation (SI) on a scale, ranging from "wish to be dead" to "active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent." The scale identifies SI severity and intensity, which may be indicative of an individual's intent to commit suicide. C-SSRS is used to assess whether participant experienced SI (1:wish to be dead; 2:non-specific active suicidal thoughts; 3:active SI with any methods (not plan) without intent to act; 4:active SI with some intent to act, without specific plan; 5:active SI with specific plan and intent) and suicidal behavior (6:actual attempt; 7:interrupted attempt; 8:aborted attempt; 9:preparatory acts or behavior; 10:suicidal behavior). An assessment of SI and behavior using the C-SSRS will be performed throughout the study for participants aged 6 years and above at the time of consent. In participants younger than 6 years, SI and behavior will be monitored based upon clinical impression.

  16. Change from Baseline in Number of Seizures Recorded on Electroencephalogram (EEG) at the End of the Treatment Period of Core Study and at the End of Extension Phase [ Time Frame: Baseline, End of the Treatment Period of Core Study: Week 23, End of Extension Phase: Week 56 ]
  17. Number of Participants with at Least One Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) and Serious Adverse Event (SAE) [ Time Frame: From date of first dose of perampanel up to 28 days after the last dose of perampanel (Week 60) ]
  18. Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent Markedly Abnormal Laboratory Values [ Time Frame: From date of first dose of perampanel up to Week 60 ]
  19. Number of Participants with Clinically Notable Vital Sign Results [ Time Frame: From date of first dose of perampanel up to 28 days after the last dose of perampanel (Week 60) ]
    Vital sign measurements include systolic and diastolic blood pressure [millimeters of Mercury (mmHg)], pulse (beats per minute), respiratory rate (per minute), temperature (degree centigrade), and weight (kilogram).

  20. Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Abnormal Electrocardiograms [ Time Frame: From date of first dose of perampanel up to Week 60 ]
