Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Tolerability Study of ALKS 8700 in Subjects With Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) EVOLVE-MS-2 (NCT NCT03093324)

NCT ID: NCT03093324

Last Updated: 2020-07-14

Results Overview

IGISIS assessed the intensity of five individual GI symptoms: nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal pain, lower abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Participants rated the intensity of each individual symptom via an 11-point numeric rating scale ranging from 0 (did not have) to 10 (extreme). IGISIS was completed by the participants using e-diaries.

Participant Flow

Participants were enrolled at 70 investigative sites in the United States (US), Germany, and Poland from March 15, 2017 to June 27, 2019.

A total of 506 participants with relapsing remitting multiple-sclerosis were enrolled in this study. Of which 504 participants received study drug and randomized in Parts A and B of the study (253 participants in ALKS 8700 group and 251 in Dimethyl Fumarate group). A total of 478 participants completed the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: End of treatment (up to Week 6) for both Parts A and B

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) population included all enrolled participants in the Safety population who had at least one postbaseline GI tolerability assessment (such as IGISIS) on or before the last dose date.

IGISIS assessed the intensity of five individual GI symptoms: nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal pain, lower abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Participants rated the intensity of each individual symptom via an 11-point numeric rating scale ranging from 0 (did not have) to 10 (extreme). IGISIS was completed by the participants using e-diaries.

Population: The Safety population included all enrolled participants who had received at least one dose of study drug during the double-blind Treatment Period.

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
