Trial report in Drugs in R&D, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06969963 (Single-dose, Randomized, Two-period, Two-sequence Crossover Study to Evaluate the Bioequivalence of Lepsiramp 0.5mg/ml Oral Suspension), which is not on this map.

1 · What the graph read from it

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.

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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

objectivePerampanel has been approved for the adjunctive treatment of partial-onset seizures and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures. The oral suspension formulation benefits patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets. The unavailability of an affordable generic perampanel oral suspension formulation increased the need for a cheaper bioequivalent alternative to the marketed reference product. The study aimed to assess the bioequivalence of two formulations of perampanel oral suspension (0.5 mg/mL) administered under fasting conditions focusing on providing a cost-effective and accessible alternative to current formulations.

methodsThis was an open-label, two-period, two-sequence, crossover, bioequivalence study conducted under fasting conditions. Healthy subjects were randomized to receive single doses of perampanel oral suspension (12 mg), Lepsiramp and Fycompa

resultsThe geometric mean ratio of test to reference formulations and 90% confidence interval were 109.55 (99.49-120.64) for maximum concentration and 98.15 (90.68-106.23) for the area under the concentration-time curve up to 72 h

conclusionsThe two oral suspension formulations were bioequivalent, safe, and well tolerated. This provides a beneficial affordable alternative for patients requiring non-tablet oral formulations. CLINICAL

trial registrationThe ClinicalTrials.gov registration number is NCT06969963, retrospectively registered on 13 May, 2025.
