Study of Nusinersen (BIIB058) in Participants With Spinal Muscular Atrophy (DEVOTE)
Escalating Dose and Randomized, Controlled Study of Nusinersen (BIIB058) in Participants With Spinal Muscular Atrophy
The primary objectives of this study are to examine the clinical efficacy of nusinersen administered intrathecally at higher doses to participants with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), as measured by change in Children's Hospital of Philadelphia-Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders (CHOP-INTEND) total score (Part B); to examine the safety and tolerability of nusinersen administered intrathecally at higher doses to participants with SMA (Parts A and C).
The secondary objectives of this study are to examine the clinical efficacy of nusinersen administered intrathecally at higher doses to participants with SMA (Parts A, B and C); to examine the effect of nusinersen administered intrathecally at higher doses to participants with SMA (Parts A and C); to examine the safety and tolerability of nusinersen administered intrathecally at higher doses to participants with SMA, to examine the effect of nusinersen administered intrathecally at higher doses compared to the currently approved dose in participants with SMA (Part B).

Part B Infantile-onset SMA: Change From Baseline in CHOP-INTEND Total Score for 50/28mg Nusinersen Versus CS3B Matched Sham Control Group
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 183
|
The CHOP-INTEND test was designed to evaluate the motor skills of infants with significant motor weakness.
It included 16 items (capturing neck, trunk, and proximal and distal limb strength), nine of which were scored 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, five were scored as 0, 2, or 4, one was scored as 0, 1, 2, or 4, and one as 0, 2, 3, or 4 with higher scores indicating greater muscle strength and function.
Total score was calculated as the sum of scores for each item.
Total score ranged from 0 (worst possible score) and 64 (best possible score).
The change from baseline to Day 183 in the CHOP-INTEND total score was compared to CS3B study (NCT02193074) sham control group using the joint-rank methodology to account for mortality.

Part B Infantile-onset SMA: Percentage of Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) Section 2 Motor Milestone Responders for Nusinersen 50/28mg Treatment Group Versus CS3B Matched Sham Control Group
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 183
|
Section 2 of HINE was used to assess motor milestones of participants.
It's composed of 8 motor milestone categories: voluntary grasp, ability to kick in supine position, head control, rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, & walking.
Motor milestone responder: (i) a participant that demonstrated at least a 2-point increase in category of ability to kick or maximal score on that category or a 1-point increase in category of head control, rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, or walking, (ii) improvement in more categories than worsening, excluding category of voluntary grasp.
For category of ability to kick, improvement, as defined in (i), worsening: at least a 2-point decrease or decrease to lowest possible score of no kicking.
For other 6 categories, improvement: 1-point increase, worsening: at least 1-point decrease.
Participants who died or withdrew from study were considered as non-responders.
Difference in percentage of responders reported using Fisher's exact test.

Within each category, 3 to 5 levels can be achieved.
The total HINE section 2 motor milestones score was calculated as sum of each level & ranged from 0 to 26, higher score indicating improvement in motor milestones.
A negative change from baseline indicates decline in motor milestones.
Change from baseline in HINE section 2 motor milestones total score was compared to study CS3B (NCT02193074) matched sham control group, and was analysed using joint rank methodology.

Total score was calculated as the sum of scores for each item.
Total score ranged from 0 (worst possible score) and 64 (best possible score).
The change from baseline to Day 302 in the total score was analyzed using the joint-rank methodology to account for mortality.

Permanent ventilation was defined as tracheostomy or ≥ 16 hours of ventilation/day continuously for > 21 days in absence of an acute reversible event.
An independent endpoint adjudication committee (EAC) determined date at which a participant was considered to have met protocol-specified criteria of an acute reversible event.
Only events that were adjudicated by the EAC as meeting the criteria for permanent ventilation or death were included in analysis.
Participants who did not meet the endpoint definition were censored on the last occasion the participant was seen (either in-person visit or by telephone contact), irrespective of whether the participant has completed the full course of treatment and whether the participant has completed the study or permanently withdrawn.

Total scale scores were calculated as sum of all items over number of items answered on all scales.
If more than 50% of items/more within a dimension were missing, scale score was not computed.

Within each of these categories, participants can progress from complete absence of a motor ability (the lowest level in each category) through multiple milestones (2 to 4 levels in each category) to the highest level within the category.
The 8 categories of HINE Section 2 can be summed to give a total score that ranges from 0 to 26.
