Comparing Risk and Severity of IRRs in Patients Premedicated With Cetirizine vs. Diphenhydramine Prior to Ocrelizumab (PRECEPT)

Detailed Description
Ocrelizumab was approved by the US Food and Drug administration in March 2017 for the indication of Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) and Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS). The landmark studies used to gain approval found ocrelizumab (OCR) to be well tolerated, but that at least one Infusion-Related Reaction (IRR) occurred in about one-third of patients. Because of this, neurologists typically prescribe prophylactic premedication with 100mg of methylprednisolone, 1 gram of acetaminophen, and 50 mg of IV diphenhydramine. However, many patients experience extreme sedation that interferes with their lifestyle considerably.
This 6-month randomized controlled pilot study will determine whether there is some evidence that cetirizine is better tolerated than diphenhydramine without an increase in IRRs. Fifty-two patients, 26 patients per arm, will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive cetirizine or diphenhydramine as premedication prior to OCR infusions on day 0 (1st half dose of 300mg), day 14 (2nd half dose of 300mg) and week 24 (1st full dose of 600mg).

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Proportion of Participants With Infusion-related Reaction (IRR) on Day 0
Time Frame: During or after the first-half dose of the first infusion on day 0
|
The proportion of patients having an infusion-related reaction (IRR), as defined by Common Terminology Criteria (CTCAE), version 4 during or after the first-half dose of the first infusion on day 0. IRRs are documented at the infusion clinic on the day of infusion and reported by the patient at the follow-up phone call the next business day after the infusion.
|
During or after the first-half dose of the first infusion on day 0
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Proportion of Participants With Infusion-related Reaction (IRR) on Day 14
Time Frame: during or after receiving the second half dose infusion on day 14.
|
The proportion of patients having an infusion-related reaction as defined by Common Terminology Criteria (CTCAE), version 4 during or after receiving the second half dose infusion on day 14
|
during or after receiving the second half dose infusion on day 14.
|
Proportion of Participants With an Infusion-related Reaction (IRR) on Day 168
Time Frame: during or after receiving the first full 600mg dose infusion on day 168.
|
The proportion of patients having an infusion-related reaction as defined by Common Terminology Criteria (CTCAE), version 4 during or after receiving the first full 600mg dose infusion on week 168
|
during or after receiving the first full 600mg dose infusion on day 168.
|
Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM) Score on Days 0, 14 and 168
Time Frame: After the infusions on day 0, day 14, and day 168.
|
Patient reported outcome on Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication.
TSQM is administered within 2 hours after ocrelizumab (OCR) infusion, may be completed via phone to assess patient treatment satisfaction for the infusion.
TSQM covers four domains: Global satisfaction, Effectiveness, Side effects, and Convenience.
The scores are calculated for each of the subscales, ranging from 0 to 100.
Higher score indicates higher satisfaction of the participant with the treatment and lower score indicates lower satisfaction of the participant with the treatment.
|
After the infusions on day 0, day 14, and day 168.
|
Stanford Sleepiness Scale (SSS) Score on Days 0, 14, and 168
Time Frame: after the infusions on day 0, day 14, and day 168.
|
Patient reported outcome on Stanford Sleepiness Score (SSS) administered prior to starting and within 2 hours after ocrelizumab (OCR) infusion, may be completed via phone.
SSS measures sleepiness at specific times in a day.
Participants will use a scale from 1 to 7 best representing their level of perceived sleepiness.
The higher the score, the sleepier the subject and a lower score indicates the alertness of the subject.
|
after the infusions on day 0, day 14, and day 168.
|
Visual Analog Scale for Fatigue (VAS-F) Score on Days 0, 14 and 168
Time Frame: after the infusions on day 0, day 14, and day 168.
|
Patient reported outcomes on Visual Analog Scale for Fatigue, administered prior to starting and within 2 hours after ocrelizumab (OCR) infusion, may be completed via phone.
The scale consists of various items relating to the participants' experience of fatigue and energy.
Fatigue subscale ranges from 0-10 and a higher the score represents a greater fatigue for the participant.
Energy subscale ranges from 0-10 and a higher the score represents a greater energy as perceived by the participant.
|
after the infusions on day 0, day 14, and day 168.
|
Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) Score on Day 168
Time Frame: at day 168.
|
Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) administered after the 2nd dose of OCR.
Subject answers 21 questions (9 physical, 10 cognitive, and 2 psychological items) related to fatigue in the past 4 weeks with choices of frequency: 0: Never, 1: Rarely, 2: Sometimes, 3: Often, or 4: Almost always.
The total MFIS score ranges from 0 to 84.
A higher total score represents greater fatigue as perceived by the participants.
|
at day 168.
|
Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (MSIS-29) Score on Day168
Time Frame: at day 168.
|
Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (MSIS-29) is administered after the 2nd dose of ocrelizumab (OCR) infusion to evaluate the physical and psychological impact of multiple sclerosis (MS). Participants rate their symptoms related to MS as 1-Not at all, 2-a little 3-Moderately or 4-Extremely on the two subscales, 20-item physical subscale and 9-item psychological subscale. The two subscales are scored by summing the responses across items, then converting to a 0-100 scale using a formula. For both subscales, higher scores indicate higher impact of MS or greater disability for the participant. Formula for physical impact subscale score: (100*(observed score-20))/ (100-20) Formula for psychological impact subscale score: (100*(observed score 9))/ (45-9) |
at day 168.
