Patients With Relapse Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS): Candidates for MS Therapy Change (EPOC)

18 giugno 2015 aggiornato da: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

A 6-month, Randomized, Active Comparator, Open-label, Multi-Center Study to Evaluate Patient Outcomes, Safety and Tolerability of Fingolimod (FTY720) 0.5 mg/Day in Patients With Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Who Are Candidates for MS Therapy Change From Previous Disease Modifying Therapy (EPOC)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change in patient-reported treatment satisfaction after 6 months of treatment with fingolimod 0.5mg/day vs. DMT standard of care, using the global satisfaction subscale of the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9).

Descrizione

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients must be diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS (RRMS) as defined by 2005 revised McDonald criteria.
  • Patients who explicitly agree to be assigned to a treatment group that may receive fingolimod or DMT after having been informed about their respective benefits and possible adverse events by the investigator.

  • Must have received continuous treatment with a single approved and indicated MS DMT for a minimum of 6 months prior to the screening visit. Patients must continue with this MS DMT until the randomization visit.
  • Naïve to treatment with fingolimod.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • A manifestation of MS other than those defined in the inclusion criteria.
  • A history of chronic disease of the immune system other than MS or a known immunodeficiency syndrome.
  • History of malignancy of any organ system (other than localized basal cell carcinoma of the skin), treated or untreated, within the past 5 years, regardless of whether there is evidence of local recurrence or metastases.
  • Patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (HbA1c > 7%).
  • Diagnosis of macular edema during Screening Phase.

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply

Misure di risultato primarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Change From Baseline in Patient-reported Treatment Satisfaction
Lasso di tempo: baseline, 6 months
The Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9) is a psychometric measure of a patient's satisfaction with medication. It consists of 3 subscales: effectiveness, convenience and global satisfaction. The scores were computed by adding items for each domain, i.e. 1 to 3 for effectiveness, 4 - 6 for convenience and 7 to 9 for global satisfaction. The lowest possible score (1 for each item and 3 for all 3 subscales) was subtracted from the composite score and divided by the greatest possible score range. The greatest range was (7-1) X 3 items = 18 for the effectiveness and convenience, and (5-1) x 3 items = 12 for global satisfaction. This provided a transformed score between 0 and 1 that was then multiplied by 100. A positive change from baseline indicates improvement.

Misure di risultato secondarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Change From Baseline in Patient-reported Activities of Daily Living (ADL)
Lasso di tempo: baseline, 6 months
The PRIMUS activity measure is a 15-item assessment used to evaluate patient-reported activities of daily living. The PRIMUS activities score was calculated summing the 15 items, after recoding the responses from 1 - 3 to 0 - 2. Therefore, the total score ranged from 0 - 3-, where high scores were indicative of greater function limitation. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
baseline, 6 months
Change From Baseline in Patient-reported Fatigue
Lasso di tempo: 6 months
The fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) is a 9-item scale used to assess fatigue. The FSS score was calculated summing the 9 items of the questionnaire and dividing by the number of non-missing items (each item is based on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree)). A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
6 months
Change From Baseline in Patient-Reported Effectiveness and Convenience
Lasso di tempo: 6 months
The Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9) is a psychometric measure of a patient's satisfaction with medication. It consists of 3 subscales: effectiveness, convenience and global satisfaction. The scores were computed by adding items for each domain, i.e. 1 to 3 for effectiveness, 4 - 6 for convenience and 7 to 9 for global satisfaction. The lowest possible score (1 for each item and 3 for all 3 subscales) was subtracted from the composite score and divided by the greatest possible score range. The greatest range was (7-1) X 3 items = 18 for the effectiveness and convenience, and (5-1) x 3 items = 12 for global satisfaction. This provided a transformed score between 0 and 1 that was then multiplied by 100. A positive change from baseline indicates improvement.
6 months
Change From Baseline in Patient-reported Depression
Lasso di tempo: 6 months
The Beck Depression Inventory Fast Screen (BDI-FS) is a brief, multiple choice, self reported inventory designed to evaluate depression in patients with medical illness. The BDI-FS score was calculated summing the 7 items of the questionnaire. Each item ranged from 0 (not present) to 3 (severe). The total score ranges from 0-3 (minimal depression), 4-8 (mild depression), 9-12 (moderate depression) and 13-21 (severe depression). A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
6 months
Change From Baseline in Patient-reported Health Related Quality of Life (QOL)
Lasso di tempo: 6 months
The SF-36v2 is a validated health-related quality of life instrument used in numerous disease states, including MS. It is a self-administered survey that measures 8 domains of health including: physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health, pain, general health, energy/fatigue, social functioning, role limitations due to emotional problems and emotional well-being. Additionally, two summary scale scores can be calculated: the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and the Mental Component Summary (MCS). If half or more questions within a domain were answered, then a score was calculated for that domain. Otherwise, the patient score for that domain was set to missing. If the patient was missing any 1 of the 8 scale scores, then the physical and mental component scores were set to missing. An algorithm was used to create a score from 0 to 100 for each domain score and component score. A positive change from baseline indicates improvement.
6 months
Physician-reported Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I)
Lasso di tempo: 6 months
The CGI-I is a rating scale allowing a physician-reported global evaluation of the subject's improvement over time. The Investigator assessed the subject's clinical change relative to the symptoms at baseline on the CGI-I, a seven-point scale, with rating as follows: 1=Very much improved, 2=Much improved, 3=Minimally improved, 4=No change, 5=Minimally worse, 6=Much worse, 7=Very much worse. A lower score and a negative change from baseline indicate improvement.
