Open-Label Study to Assess the Effect of Long-Term Prolonged-Release Fampridine (BIIB041) on Quality of Life as Reported by Participants With Multiple Sclerosis (ENABLE)

February 14, 2017 updated by: Biogen

An Open-Label, Multicenter, Multinational Study to Assess the Effect of Long-Term Prolonged-Release Fampridine (BIIB041) 10 mg Twice Daily on Quality of Life as Reported by Subjects With Multiple Sclerosis

The primary objective of the study is to assess the effect of long-term treatment with prolonged-release fampridine (BIIB041) 10 mg twice daily on the physical component scale (PCS) of the Short Form 36 Health Status Questionnaire (SF-36) as reported by treatment responders. The secondary objectives of this study are to compare the change in the PCS of the SF-36 between treatment responders and non-responders, to evaluate change from baseline in additional quality of life measures among treatment responders as well as changes from baseline in treatment responders versus non-responders and to assess the safety and tolerability of prolonged-release fampridine 10 mg twice daily.

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
Change From Baseline in the Physical Component Scale (PCS) of the Short Form 36 Health Status Questionnaire (SF-36) At Months 3, 6, 9, and 12: Responders
Time Frame: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, 12
The SF-36 determines participants' overall quality of life by assessing 1) limitations in physical functioning due to health problems; 2) limitations in usual role because of physical health problems; 3) bodily pain; 4) general health perceptions; 5) vitality; 6) limitations in social functioning because of physical or emotional problems; 7) limitations in usual role due to emotional problems; and 8) general mental health. Items 1-4 primarily contribute to the PCS score of the SF-36. Items 5-8 primarily contribute to the mental component summary (MCS) score of the SF-36. Scores on each item are summed and averaged (range: 0=worst to 100=best). Increases from baseline indicate improvement. Within-group least squares means are presented.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in the PCS of the SF-36 at Months 3, 6, 9, and 12: Responders Versus Non-responders
Time Frame: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, 12
The SF-36 determines participants' overall quality of life by assessing 1) limitations in physical functioning due to health problems; 2) limitations in usual role because of physical health problems; 3) bodily pain; 4) general health perceptions; 5) vitality; 6) limitations in social functioning because of physical or emotional problems; 7) limitations in usual role due to emotional problems; and 8) general mental health. Items 1-4 primarily contribute to the PCS score of the SF-36. Items 5-8 primarily contribute to the MCS score of the SF-36. Scores on each item are summed and averaged (range: 0=worst to 100=best). Increases from baseline indicate improvement. The 'overall' estimate is the average change from baseline over the whole time period (through Month 12). In contrast to the primary endpoint, this analysis was done using data from both responder and non-responder groups; therefore, 'responder group' and 'visit by responder group interaction' were included as fixed effects.

Change From Baseline in the Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (MSIS-29) Physical Score at Months 3, 6, 9, and 12
Time Frame: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, 12
The MSIS-29 is a disease specific patient-reported outcome measure that has been developed and validated to examine the physical and psychological impact of MS from a patient's perspective; it measures 20 physical items and 9 psychological items. Sum of 20 physical condition items converted into a 0-100 score range, where missing items are imputed by average of total of non-missing items when no more than 50% are missing (otherwise the total score is missing). A lower total score indicates less physically-related impact while a higher total score indicates greater physically-related impact on a participant's functioning. Decreases from Baseline indicate improvement. A mixed effect model for repeated measures was used for this analysis. An unstructured covariance was used to model within-participant error. The 'overall' estimate is the average change from baseline over the whole time period (through Month 12).

Change From Baseline in Percent Work Time Missed Due to MS, by the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment-Specific Health Problem (WPAI-SHP) Questionnaire at Months 3, 6, 9, and 12
Time Frame: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, 12
WPAI-SHP is a 6-question participant-rated questionnaire to determine degree to which a specific health problem affected work productivity while at work and outside of work. Four scores are derived: percentage of absenteeism (percentage of work time missed) and presenteeism (reduced productivity while at work), overall work impairment score combining absenteeism and presenteeism, and percentage of impairment in activities performed outside of work. Score range: 0 (not affected/no impairment) to 100 (completely affected/impaired). WPAI outcomes are expressed as impairment percentages with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity. A decrease from Baseline indicates improvement. A mixed effect model for repeated measures was used for this analysis. An unstructured covariance was used to model within-participant error. The 'overall' estimate is the average change from baseline over the whole time period (through Month 12).

Change From Baseline in EQ-5D Index Scores at Months 3, 6, 9, and 12 by MS Disease Type: Responders
Time Frame: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, and 12
EQ-5D is a participant-answered questionnaire containing a descriptive system on 5 dimensions - mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression and a VAS on health state. The scores on the 5 dimensions of descriptive system can be converted into an index score by applying UK weights. EQ-5D index score ranges from 1 to -0.59, and 1 reflects the best outcome. An increase from baseline indicates improvement. A mixed effect model for repeated measures was used for this analysis. An unstructured covariance was used to model within-participant error. The 'overall' estimate is the average change from baseline over the whole time period (through Month 12).

Change From Baseline in Percent Work Time Missed Due to MS on the WPAI-SHP Questionnaire at Months 3, 6, 9, and 12 by MS Disease Type: Responders
Time Frame: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, and 12
WPAI-SHP is a 6-question participant-rated questionnaire to determine degree to which a specific health problem affected work productivity while at work and outside of work. Four scores are derived: percentage of absenteeism (percentage of work time missed) and presenteeism (reduced productivity while at work), overall work impairment score combining absenteeism and presenteeism, and percentage of impairment in activities performed outside of work. Score range: 0 (not affected/no impairment) to 100 (completely affected/impaired). WPAI outcomes are expressed as impairment percentages with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity. A decrease from Baseline indicates improvement. A mixed effect model for repeated measures was used for this analysis. An unstructured covariance was used to model within-participant error. The 'overall' estimate is the average change from baseline over the whole time period (through Month 12).

Change From Baseline in the MSIS-29 Physical Score at Months 3, 6, 9, and 12 by Whether Taking Additional MS Therapy
Time Frame: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, and 12
The MSIS-29 is a disease specific patient-reported outcome measure that has been developed and validated to examine the physical and psychological impact of MS from a patient's perspective; it measures 20 physical items and 9 psychological items. Sum of 20 physical condition items converted into a 0-100 score range, where missing items are imputed by average of total of non-missing items when no more than 50% are missing (otherwise the total score is missing). A lower total score indicates less physically-related impact while a higher total score indicates greater physically-related impact on a participant's functioning. Decreases from Baseline indicate improvement. A mixed effect model for repeated measures was used for this analysis. An unstructured covariance was used to model within-participant error. The 'overall' estimate is the average change from baseline over the whole time period (through Month 12).
