Effect on Hand Osteoarthritis (OA) Assessed by X-ray & Questionnaire From Baseline to 24 Months

"To assess disease progression of OA affected joints, X-rays of both hands were performed & assessed by two central readers (at Synarc). Hand OA was assessed by calculating total score for osteophytes, cyst erosion, & joint space narrowing, each of which were based on sum of left and right hand X-ray analysis with possible scores of 0-66. The overall total score (possible range 0-198) was also used. Higher scores (closer to 66 or to 198 when using overall total score) imply a worse outcome. Hand analyses were based on double readings, and the mean was used in the analyses.~The AUStralian/CANadian Osteoarthritis Hand Index (AUSCAN) questionnaire was also used for assessment of hand OA. It measures pain (5 questions), stiffness (1 question) and difficulties with daily activities (9 questions) through a visual analogue scale (0-100mm; 0 = lowest score; 100 = highest score). Lower AUSCAN scores represent a better outcome. Change (from baseline to month 24) in these scores was calculated." (NCT00486434)

Joint Space Width (JSW) in the Medial Tibiofemoral Knee Joint in Signal Knee Measured by X-ray After 24 Months.

The signal knee was chosen prior to randomization based on which knee met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The JSW is the space measured in mm between the 2 bones in the knee joint and this is assessed by x-ray. The JSW decreases with disease progression. The lower limit for participation in the trial were 2 mm JSW. There were no upper limit as long as inclusion and exclusion criteria were met. The outcome was measured as a change in JSW from baseline to month 24. (NCT00486434)

Derived Pharmacodynamic Parameters Further Characterizing the Effects of Oral or Intranasal Calcitonin on Plasma CTx-1, Given at Night to Post-menopausal Women

See Primary Outcome description. These CTx-1 plasma concentrations were collected over 12 hours, the values seen following active were compared with the time-matched individual values following placebo and used to derive the pharmacodynamic parameters. The primary was Rmin, seen above, and the Secondary ones were the time to that Rmin (Tmin) and the total time from the beginning of the inhibition to the end of the effect or the end of the study period (Tinhibition).

Pharmacodynamic Effect of Oral Calcitonin

C-terminal telopeptide of Collagen Type I (CTx-1) is an established plasma biomarker employed as an index of bone-resorption activity in response to interventions such as an anti-resorptive agent such as calcitonin. Here the calcitonin-salmon is rsCT, (recombinant) both oral and intranasal. These CTx-1 plasma concentrations were collected over 12 hours post-dosing where each subject served as her own control, as all received placebo in this crossover study, to account for the known diurnal variation of plasma CTx-1. For each time point, the ratio of the calcitonin response over the placebo response for that subject was derived from the plasma levels of CTx-1 and reported as a % of the placebo response (% Placebo or %P). These values were used to determine the primary pharmacodynamic parameter of Rmin, the minimum value seen following each active dose. The same %P values were used to derive the secondary pharmacodynamic parameters described in Secondary outc (NCT00803686)

Participants With Positive Electronic Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (eC-SSRS) Results After the First Dose of Study Drug

"The electronic Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (eC-SSRS) was used to assess the participant's suicidal ideation (severity and intensity) and behavior (Posner et al 2011). Suicidal behavior is defined as a yes answer to any of 5 suicidal behavior questions: preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, actual attempt, and completed suicide. Suicidal ideation is defined as a yes answer to any one of 5 suicidal ideation questions: wish to be dead, and 4 different categories of active suicidal ideation.~The eC-SSRS Baseline/Screening version was completed by the participant at baseline, and the eC-SSRS Since Last Visit version was completed by the participant at all other time points. Any positive findings on the eC-SSRS Since Last Visit version required evaluation by a physician or doctoral-level psychologist. Findings after the first dose of study drug using the eC-SSRS Since Last Visit version are summarized." (NCT02621931)

Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that develops or worsens in severity during the conduct of a clinical study and does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the study drug. Severity was rated by the investigator on a scale of mild, moderate and severe, with severe= an AE which prevents usual activities. Relationship of AE to treatment was determined by the investigator. Serious AEs include death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, OR an important medical event that jeopardized the patient and required medical intervention to prevent the previously listed serious outcomes.

Percentage of Participants With At Least 50% Reduction In Monthly Average Number of Headache Days of At Least Moderate Severity

Responder rates were defined as the percentage of total subjects who reached at least a 50% reduction in the monthly average of headache days (as subjectively reported by participants in the study diary) of at least moderate severity relative to the baseline period. For the overall analysis (Month 1-3), patients who discontinued early were considered non-responders. Monthly averages are derived and normalized to 28 days equivalent by the following formula: (# days of efficacy variable over relevant period / # days with assessments recorded in the e-diary over the relevant period) * 28. The percentage reduction in monthly average is calculated as: ((baseline value - post-baseline value) / baseline value) * 100. (NCT02621931)

Participants With Positive Electronic Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale Results After the First Dose of Study Drug

The electronic Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (eC-SSRS) was used to assess the patient's suicidal ideation (severity and intensity) and behavior (Posner et al 2011). The eC-SSRS Baseline/Screening version was completed by the patient at visit 2, and the eC-SSRS Since Last Visit version was completed by the patient at all other time points. Any positive findings on the eC-SSRS Since Last Visit version required evaluation by a physician or doctoral-level psychologist. Findings after the first dose of study drug using the eC-SSRS Since Last Visit version are summarized. (NCT02629861)
Timeframe: Day 1 to Week 12
