Dose-Response and Pharmacokinetics of Gabapentin Enacarbil (GEn [XP13512 / GSK1838262]) in Restless Legs Syndrome (XP081)

July 15, 2013 updated by: XenoPort, Inc.

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Response Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of XP13512 (GSK1838262) in Patients With Restless Legs Syndrome

The objective of the study was to generate the data necessary to determine the gabapentin exposure produced by 4 dose levels of GEn (600 mg, 1200 mg, 1800 mg, and 2400 mg) or placebo, and the corresponding relief of symptoms in subjects with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This was a multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study, comparing 4 doses of GEn (XP13512) with placebo given once daily to subjects with RLS. Eligible subjects were randomized in equal numbers into 1 of 5 treatment groups (GEn 600 mg, 1200 mg, 1800 mg, or 2400 mg or placebo) for 12 weeks of treatment. Data from this study will be utilized as part of a larger pharmacokinetic (PK) pharmacodynamic (PD) analysis of data from several studies (XP084/RXP111495) that are part of the GEn RLS clinical development program. Safety and tolerability were also assessed.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Css, Max and Css, Min
Time Frame: Weeks 4 and 12
Css, max is defined as the maximum or "peak" concentration of a drug observed after multiple administration, at steady state. Css, max is one of the parameters of particular use in estimating the bioavailability of drugs, by measuring the total amount of drug absorbed. Css, min is defined as the minimum concentration of a drug observed after its administration, in steady state. ng, nanograms; PK, pharmacokinetic; W, week; BLQ, below limit of quantitation.
Weeks 4 and 12
Mean Tmax and T1/2
Time Frame: Weeks 4 and 12
Tmax is defined as the time to the maximum or "peak" concentration of a drug observed after multiple administration. T1/2 is defined as the time to when half of the total amount of a particular substance is eliminated from the body.
Weeks 4 and 12
Mean AUCss
Time Frame: Weeks 4 and 12
The area under the plot of plasma concentration of drug against time after drug administration is defined as the area under the curve (AUC). The AUCss is the area under the curve during the steady-state period. The AUCss is of particular use in estimating the bioavailability of drugs, by measuring the extent of absorption. AUCss used concentration data from 0 to 24 hours at steady-state for Weeks 4 and 12.
Weeks 4 and 12

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.
