Eisai’s Fycompa (perampanel) Injection Formulation Receives MHLW’s Marketing Authorization for Epilepsy

Shots:

  • The sNDA for Fycompa, filed in Aug 2022, has been granted marketing authorization by the Japanese MHLW for the injection formulation, providing an alternative therapy when its oral administration is temporarily not possible
  • The injection formulation of Fycompa will prevent the risk of seizure if oral administration is temporarily halted, like during surgery. Earlier it was available as a tablet and fine granule formulation
  • Fycompa acts as a selective, noncompetitive AMPA receptor antagonist to reduce neuronal hyperexcitation associated with seizures by targeting glutamate activity at AMPA receptors
