Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Long-term Safety of Arbaclofen Extended-Release Tablets for Patients With Spasticity Due to MS (NCT NCT03319732)

NCT ID: NCT03319732

Last Updated: 2022-08-09

Results Overview

Safety and tolerability will be assessed by the monitoring of adverse events volunteered, observed, and elicited by general questions in a non-suggestive manner. Changes in vital signs, clinical laboratory test results, 12-lead ECGs, the urinary symptom profile (USP) questionnaire, and the C-SSRS results will also be assessed.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: over 1 year

Population: Safety population included all subjects who received at least one dose of study treatment and had at least one-post dose visit.

Safety and tolerability will be assessed by the monitoring of adverse events volunteered, observed, and elicited by general questions in a non-suggestive manner. Changes in vital signs, clinical laboratory test results, 12-lead ECGs, the urinary symptom profile (USP) questionnaire, and the C-SSRS results will also be assessed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: week 60

Population: Safety population included all subjects who received at least one dose of study treatment and had at least one-post dose visit.

Patient Global impression of Change (PGIC) is a scale to evaluate the change in activity limitations, symptoms, emotions, and overall quality of life using scores from 1 to 7 with 1 being no change and 7 being a great deal better, and a considerable improvement that has made all the difference. Minimum value is 1 and the maximum value is 7.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: week 28

Population: Safety population included all subjects who received at least one dose of study treatment and had at least one-post dose visit.

The abbreviated scale title is TNmAS. It is considered the primary clinical measure of muscle spasticity in subjects with neurological conditions. It is a useful 6-point rating scale (0 to 5) to measure abnormality in tone or the resistance to passive movements. Minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 5. A higher score means a worse outcome.

Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is a method of quantifying disability in MS and monitoring changes in the level of disability over time. The EDSS scale ranges from 0 to 10 in 0.5-unit increments that represent higher levels of disability. A score of 0 represents a normal neurological exam, and 10 represents death due to MS.
