Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of Arbaclofen Extended-Release Tablets (AERT) for treatment of spasticity in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was performed in accordance with Good Clinical Practice standards. Before undertaking any study-related procedures with subjects, the purpose and nature of the study, as well as possible adverse effects, were explained to them in understandable terms and written informed consent was obtained from each individual. An independent, chartered Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) reviewed all safety data on 4 occasions during the study.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    First subject enrolled on 13 Feb 2018; last subject completed on 03 Dec 2018. Total of 536 subjects were enrolled at 82 sites in the United States and Central and Eastern Europe (Russia, Belarus, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Bulgaria, Moldova, Poland, and Ukraine).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Eligible subjects underwent up to a 21-day washout period for withdrawal of anti-spasticity and/or muscle relaxation medications before randomization. Eligibility was confirmed before randomization (Visit 2). 594 subjects were screened; 58 subjects were screen failures (39 due to inclusion/exclusion criteria not met); 536 subjects were randomized.

    Every effort was made to retain the integrity of the blind. The study medication was identical in appearance for all subjects, regardless of treatment assignment. No premature unblinding occurred during the study. The study blind was broken at study completion once the following were met: 1) Database was locked and 2) the statistical analysis plan (SAP) was finalized.

    Co-primary Efficacy Endpoint: TNmAS-MAL in the ITT Population
    End point description
    The Total Numeric-transformed modified Ashworth Scale (TNmAS) is considered the primary clinical measure of muscle spasticity in subjects with neurological conditions. It consists of a 6-point rating scale to measure abnormality in tone or the resistance to passive movements. The TNmAS assessment was to be performed by the study evaluator (someone other than the Investigator) who had been appropriately trained to perform and assess the TNmAS, and when possible all TNmAS assessments were performed for a particular subject by the same study evaluator throughout the study. The outcome variable for TNmAS-MAL was least-squares (LS) mean change from baseline (and 95% confidence interval [CI]) to Day 84 in the ITT population by treatment group. AERT 40 mg was compared with placebo first (for both co-primary endpoints, TNmAS-MAL and CGIC). Both co-primary endpoints had to meet the 0.05 level for AERT 40 mg vs placebo for the study to be considered a success.

The TNmAS-MAL was analyzed using a restricted maximum likelihood (REML)-based mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) with fixed effects for treatment, visit, country, and the treatment-by-visit interaction; and with baseline score as a covariate. There was statistically significant greater improvement from baseline to Day 84 in TNmAS-MAL scores in the AERT 40 mg group compared to the placebo group.

    Co-primary Efficacy Endpoint: CGIC in the ITT Population
    End point description
    For the CGIC, the Investigator rated the change in overall global functional performance (not limited to spasticity) the subject was experiencing (based on assessment of the subject since Visit 2). The Investigator evaluated the subject’s status on a -3 to +3 scale judging whether there had been a change from significantly worse (-3) to significantly improved (+3) relative to baseline (Visit 2) and had to have access to the TNmAS. The outcome variable was LS mean CGIC score (and 95% CI) at Day 84 in the ITT population by treatment group. AERT 40 mg was compared with placebo first (for both co-primary endpoints, TNmAS-MAL and CGIC). Both co-primary endpoints had to meet the 0.05 level for AERT 40 mg vs placebo for the study to be considered a success.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Adverse events were recorded from time of informed consent through completion of the last study visit. A treatment-emergent AE was any AE with onset or worsening on or after the first dose of study drug up until 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Adverse events could have been reported spontaneously by the subject or observed by the Investigator. Within each preferred term, subjects were counted only once if they had more than one AE reported during the treatment period.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    19 Sep 2017
    The following changes were made to Protocol CLN.OS440-3004.PR.A01 as Amendment 1 dated 19 September 2017: - Clarified birth control requirements for subjects and partners of subjects. - Clarified that “high dose (120 mg daily)” oral or intravenous methylprednisolone or equivalent within 3 months before Visit 1 (Screening) would be exclusionary. - Added a criterion excluding subjects with clinically significant abnormal laboratory values at Screening. - Added taper and washout periods for specific anti-spasticity and/or muscle relaxation medications. - Corrected the mistake in the original protocol regarding a 4-point change in total USP score by replacing “A reduction of 4 points…” with “An increase of 4 points...” - In the sample size calculation, specified that the determination of sample size should be based on the AERT 40 mg/day dose, as the AERT 40 mg/day dose will be analyzed first versus placebo.
    09 Nov 2017
    The following changes were made to Protocol CLN.OS440-3004.PR.A02 as Amendment 2 dated 09 November 2017: - Disallowed subjects who experienced an acute MS exacerbation/relapse during study OS440-3004 from enrolling in study OS440-3005.
