Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This phase IV trial studies the side effects and how well perampanel works in reducing seizure frequency in patients with high-grade glioma and focal epilepsy. Perampanel is a drug used to treat seizures. Giving perampanel together with other anti-seizure drugs may work better in reducing seizure frequency in patients with high-grade glioma and focal epilepsy compared to alternate anti-seizure drugs alone.
