Therapeutic drug monitoring of perampanel: Clinical utility and impact of co-medication on pharmacokinetic variability.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Perampanel (PER) is a newly developed antiseizure medication (ASM). This study aimed to determine the utilization of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) for PER in a real-world clinical setting and investigate the influence of concomitant use of ASMs on the plasma concentration profile of PER. Method: We analyzed data from the Chang Gung Research Database, which is the largest multi-institutional electronic medical records database in Taiwan. The main outcomes were the comparisons of PER plasma concentration and the ratio of concentration to the weight-adjusted dose (C/D; [ng/mL]/[mg/kg/d]) among patients received TDM of different clinical indication and among different ASM co-medication subgroups. Results: Overall, 88 plasma samples were collected from 66 epilepsy patients treated with PER. The majority of patients (77.3 %) underwent PER TDM owing to poorly controlled seizures. There was a trend toward a higher plasma concentration and C/D ratio in those suspected of having PER toxicity owing to adverse events than of other indications. The PER concentration exhibited dose linearity. The mean PER plasma concentrations in patients co-medicated with enzyme-inducing ASMs were significantly lower than those in the patients who were not prescribed enzyme-inducing or enzyme-inhibiting ASMs, and co-medication with carbamazepine (CBZ) resulted in a significant reduction in the PER concentration. Conclusion: PER concentration exhibited a linear regression relationship with PER dose, and the plasma concentration of the drug was highly susceptible to the drug's interactions with enzyme-inducing ASMs. TDM with clear indication could help determine the influence of ASMs used concomitantly on PER concentrations and guide clinical adjustments.
