Trial Outcomes & Findings for Open-Label Clinical Study of Droxidopa in Patients With Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension (NOH) (NCT NCT00738062)

NCT ID: NCT00738062

Last Updated: 2014-05-16

Results Overview

The OHQ is the average of two sub-scales, the Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment Scale (OHSA) and the Orthostatic Hypotension Daily Activities Scale (OHDAS). Each asks the patient to rate their symptoms or disease impact over the past week. The OHSA sub-scale is the average of six items: 1) Dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling faint or feeling like you might black out; 2) Problems with vision; 3) Weakness; 4) Fatigue; 5) Trouble concentrating; and 6) Head/neck discomfort. The OHDAS sub-scale is the average of four items: 1) Standing for a short time; 2) Standing for a long time; 3) Walking for a short time; and 4) Walking for a long time. Each item is scored on a Likert scale from 0 to 10, with 10 being the most severe. In this withdrawal design, a positive score indicates worsening during the double-blind randomized phase relative to value at randomization (on open-label drug). All patients are on open-label droxidopa for 3 months prior to randomization.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 14 days

Population: The analysis population was based on the ITT population of all patients randomized. Last observation carry forward was used for patients who prematurely discontinued the study. One droxidopa patient was excluded from the analysis because OHQ values were not evaluable.

The OHQ is the average of two sub-scales, the Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment Scale (OHSA) and the Orthostatic Hypotension Daily Activities Scale (OHDAS). Each asks the patient to rate their symptoms or disease impact over the past week. The OHSA sub-scale is the average of six items: 1) Dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling faint or feeling like you might black out; 2) Problems with vision; 3) Weakness; 4) Fatigue; 5) Trouble concentrating; and 6) Head/neck discomfort. The OHDAS sub-scale is the average of four items: 1) Standing for a short time; 2) Standing for a long time; 3) Walking for a short time; and 4) Walking for a long time. Each item is scored on a Likert scale from 0 to 10, with 10 being the most severe. In this withdrawal design, a positive score indicates worsening during the double-blind randomized phase relative to value at randomization (on open-label drug). All patients are on open-label droxidopa for 3 months prior to randomization.

Timeframe: 14 days

Population: One droxidopa patient excluded from analysis because data were not evaluable.

The OHDAS scale is the average of four items: 1) Standing for a short time; 2) Standing for a long time; 3) Walking for a short time; and 4) Walking for a long time. Each asks the patient to rate their disease impact over the past week. Each item is scored on a Likert scale from 0 to 10, with 10 being the most severe. Change: score at end of randomization minus score at randomization. In this withdrawal design, a positive score indicates worsening during the double-blind randomized phase relative to value at randomization (on open-label drug).

The CGI-S is a 7 point scale ranging from a score of 1 (no symptoms) to 7 (severe symptoms). Patients were grouped according to OH severity at the end of the randomization period as follows; * Normal-Borderline OH (CGI-S 1-2), * Mild-Moderate OH (CGI-S 3-4), * Marked OH-Most Ill with OH (CGI-S 5-7). .
