Trial Outcomes & Findings for Long-term, Safety and Tolerability Study of AFQ056 in Adolescent Patients With Fragile X Syndrome (Open-label) (NCT NCT01433354)

NCT ID: NCT01433354

Last Updated: 2016-03-24

Results Overview

Adverse events were summarized for the open-label treatment period, where the open-label treatment period is defined based on how AEs were collected and reported according to the manner in which participants entered the current study and which treatment (AFQ056 or placebo) they were receiving in the previous study. AEs which were continuing from the core study or that started after the end of core study but prior to first dose of open-label study medication in the extension study for Category 1 participants are shown under 'Prior to Ext. first dose'. AEs which started during the open-label treatment period are presented based on the last AFQ056 dose taken on or before the onset date of the AE (25 mg bid; 50 mg bid; 75 mg bid; or 100 mg bid). No efficacy data presented as study was terminated.

Participant Flow

The study was conducted at 28 centres in 13 countries.

A total of 120 patients were enrolled, of which 119 received the study medication. Category 1 patients received AFQ056 in the core study and enrolled in the extension within 7 days of the core study; Category 2 included all other patients who were enrolled into the extension study

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Prior to first dose in extension study, Baseline (start of study treatment in extension study) to End of trial

Population: The analysis was performed in the safety set (SS) population, defined as participants who received at least one dose of study medication and had at least one safety assessment occurring after first dose of extension study medication. Here, 'Number of Participants Analyzed' signifies those participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

Adverse events were summarized for the open-label treatment period, where the open-label treatment period is defined based on how AEs were collected and reported according to the manner in which participants entered the current study and which treatment (AFQ056 or placebo) they were receiving in the previous study. AEs which were continuing from the core study or that started after the end of core study but prior to first dose of open-label study medication in the extension study for Category 1 participants are shown under 'Prior to Ext. first dose'.
