A Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Assay for Determination of Perampanel and Concomitant Antiepileptic Drugs in the Plasma of Patients With Epilepsy Compared With a Fluorescent HPLC Assay

Conclusions:
The assay allows for highly sensitive and selective quantification of perampanel and concomitant AEDs in patient plasma samples and can be easily implemented in clinical settings. Our findings are in agreement with previously published data in patients comedicated with enzyme inducer AEDs, but seem to indicate a possible interaction in patients treated with the enzyme inhibitor drug valproic acid.
