A Post-Marketing Clinical Pharmakokinetics Study Of Gabapentin In Japanese Epileptic Subjects With Renal Impairment

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics following administration of gabapentin in Japanese epileptic patients with renal impairment to confirm if there are any clinically relevant differences between the plasma gabapentin concentration simulated by population PK model, which was used for the evidence of the dose adjustment for the patients with renal impairment,...
