Safety and Efficacy Study of Daclizumab High Yield Process (DAC HYP) to Treat Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (SELECT)

May 31, 2016 updated by: Biogen

Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Ranging Study to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of Daclizumab HYP (DAC HYP) as a Monotherapy Treatment in Subjects With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether DAC HYP, when compared to placebo, is effective in reducing the rate of relapses between baseline and Week 52. The secondary objectives are to determine whether DAC HYP is effective in reducing the number of new gadolinium (Gd)-enhancing lesions, reducing the number of new or newly-enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions, reducing the proportion of participants with relapses, and improving quality of life.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adjusted Annualized Relapse Rate Between Baseline and Week 52
Time Frame: Baseline through Week 52
Relapses are defined as new or recurrent neurologic symptoms not associated with fever or infection, lasting at least 24 hours, and accompanied by new objective neurological findings upon examination by the examining neurologist. The annualized relapse rate was calculated as the total number of relapses that occurred during the study divided by the total number of subject-years followed in the study.
Baseline through Week 52

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adjusted Mean Number of New Gadolinium (Gd)-Enhancing Lesions Between Week 8 and Week 24
Time Frame: Week 8 through Week 24
Gd-enhancing lesions are detected when Gd leaks into a perivascular space due to local breakdown of the blood-brain barrier, indicating the presence of active inflammation. For participants with missing data the last valid nonbaseline measurement was carried forward if the participant was missing only 1 or 2 consecutive postbaseline scans. Otherwise the mean based on treatment group and visit was used as the imputed value. Estimated from a negative binomial model adjusted for the baseline number of Gd-enhancing lesions.
Week 8 through Week 24
Adjusted Mean Number of New or Newly-enlarging T2 Hyperintense Lesions at Week 52
Time Frame: Week 52
Lesions detected on T2-weighted sequences represent a range of histopathology related to MS, including edema, inflammation, demyelination, gliosis, and axon loss.
Week 52
Proportion of Participants Who Relapsed at Week 52
Time Frame: Week 52
Estimated cumulative proportion of participants relapsed at Week 52, based on the Kaplan-Meier product limit method. Only relapses confirmed by the Independent Neurology Evaluation Committee were included in the analysis.
Week 52
Mean Change From Baseline in Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (MSIS)-29 Physical Impact Score at Week 52
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 52
The 29-item Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (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. Responses use a 5 point Likert scale range from 1 to 5. All questions are to be answered. The total score is the sum of points for all 29 questions, with a minimum score of 29, and a maximum score of 145. A lower total score indicates less physically-related impact while a higher total score indicates greater physically-related impact on a subject's functioning.
