Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of the Abuse Potential of Lasmiditan in Participants Who Are Recreational Drug Users (NCT NCT03286218)

NCT ID: NCT03286218

Last Updated: 2020-01-10

Results Overview

The Emax of Bipolar Drug Liking VAS Scores were derived as the maximum at-the-moment Drug Liking VAS score where the time to Emax was the corresponding time point at which the maximum score occurred. The bipolar Drug Liking VAS is consistent with FDA Guidance (January 2017) such that placebo should produce a score between 40 and 60 representing neutral drug-liking (ie, neither like nor dislike); a score ranging from 0 to 100 and a score of 0 indicates strong disliking, and a score of 100 indicates strong liking. Least squares mean (LS mean) was calculated using a linear mixed-effects model, including period, sequence, and treatment as fixed effects, and subject as a random effect, was used to evaluate the hypothesis tests of primary interest (at-the-moment Drug Liking) at the Emax.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Each Phase: 24 Hours

Population: All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug had evaluable PD data in each of the 5 periods.

The Emax of Bipolar Drug Liking VAS Scores were derived as the maximum at-the-moment Drug Liking VAS score where the time to Emax was the corresponding time point at which the maximum score occurred. The bipolar Drug Liking VAS is consistent with FDA Guidance (January 2017) such that placebo should produce a score between 40 and 60 representing neutral drug-liking (ie, neither like nor dislike); a score ranging from 0 to 100 and a score of 0 indicates strong disliking, and a score of 100 indicates strong liking. Least squares mean (LS mean) was calculated using a linear mixed-effects model, including period, sequence, and treatment as fixed effects, and subject as a random effect, was used to evaluate the hypothesis tests of primary interest (at-the-moment Drug Liking) at the Emax.

Drug Effects VAS Battery lists a series of measures that evaluate different effects of the abuse potential of the study drug. Scales include: Overall drug liking (overall, my liking for this drug is) and ranges from 0 definitely not to 100 definitely so. Take Drug Again (I would take this drug again) and ranges from 0 definitely not to 100 definitely so. Good effects (I can feel good drug effects) and ranges from 0 definitely not to 100 definitely so. Bad effects (I can feel bad drug effects) and ranges from 0 definitely not to 100 definitely so. High (I am feeling) and ranges from 0 not at all high to 100 extremely high. Emax is derived as the maximum score across all postdose time points for each participant. Least Square (LS) Mean is calculated using the linear mixed-effects model with period, sequence and treatment as fixed effects and participant as a random effect.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Each Phase:Predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5,3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24 Hours Post Dose

Population: All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had evaluable PD data, and completed the study.

Drug Effects VAS Battery lists a series of measures that evaluate different effects of the abuse potential of the study drug. The scales included: Alertness/Drowsiness (I am feeling) ranges from 0 very drowsy to 100 very alert. Agitation/Relaxation (my mood is) and ranges from 0 very relaxed to 100 very agitated. Emin is derived across all postdose time points for each participant. LS Mean was calculated using the linear mixed-effects model with period, sequence and treatment as fixed effects and participant as a random effect.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Each Phase: 24 Hours Post Dose

Population: All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug, were familiar with each listed drug on the questionnaire and had evaluable data.

Participants marked a point on a 100-mm horizontal line that best represented their response to the given question. The endpoints of each electronic scale were marked with descriptive anchors on a scale from 0 to 100 (Fraser et al. 1961; Bond and Lader 1974; Bigelow 1991; Shram et al. 2010). In the "How similar" questions, ranges from 0 to 100 and a score of 0 indicates definitely not similar, and a score of 100 indicates definitely similar.
