4-aminopyridine and Multiple Sclerosis

4-aminopyridine has been researched along with Multiple Sclerosis in 184 studies

Multiple Sclerosis: An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur.

Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

Change From Baseline on the Walking Impact Scale (Walk-12) at Week 12 (Key Secondary)

"The Walk-12 is a 12-question questionnaire that asks subjects to rate limitations of their mobility during the preceding two weeks on a 5-point scale (from 1= not at all to 5=extremely). For each visit, the Walk-12 score will be calculated by summing the 12 components and transforming into a scale with a range of 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a greater degree of limitation in walking. A negative change indicates an improvement in walking. 0 = no limitation in mobility to 100 extreme limitation in mobility.~Walk-12 Score = 100 * [(Mean of the 12 items) - 1]/(5-1)" (NCT02271217)
Timeframe: Baseline, week 12

Proportion of Subjects Who Show at Least a 20% Improvement on the Two Minute Walk Test (2MinWT) at Week 12

"The 2MinWT measures the distance a subject can walk in 2 minutes. Participants showing at Least a 20% Improvement on the 2MinWT at 12-weeks are considered Responders." (NCT02271217)
Timeframe: Week 12

Change From Baseline in ABILHAND Score Over 24 Weeks

"The ABILHAND Questionnaire measures a participant's perceived difficulty in performing everyday manual activities in the last 3 months. The participant completes a 56-item questionnaire by estimating their own difficulty or ease in performing each of 56 activities. Items are summed to generate a total score and transformed to a scale with a range of 0 (poor manual ability) to 100 (good manual ability); a positive change indicates an improvement in manual ability.~Data are based on an MMRM model using a common variance AR(1) variance-covariance matrix structure. Treatment, visit and treatment by visit interaction were included in the model as explanatory variables, adjusting for screening EDSS, baseline ABILHAND and prior aminopyridine as covariates. Missing data are handled using multiple imputation and baseline is defined as the Day 1 assessment." (NCT02219932)
Timeframe: Baseline to Week 24

Change From Baseline in Berg Balance Scale (BBS) Over 24 Weeks

"The BBS is a widely used assessment tool to identify balance impairment. Functional activities such as reaching, bending, transferring, and standing are evaluated on the test to evaluate balance. Participants are asked to complete 14 tasks that are rated from 0 (cannot perform) to 4 (normal performance) for a total of 56 points. BBS scores range from 0 (poor balance) to 56 (good balance); a positive change indicates improvement.~Data are based on an MMRM model using a common variance AR(1) variance-covariance matrix structure. Treatment, visit and treatment by visit interaction were included in the model as explanatory variables, adjusting for screening EDSS, baseline BBS and prior aminopyridine as covariates. Missing data are handled using multiple imputation and baseline is defined as the mean over screening and Day 1." (NCT02219932)
Timeframe: Baseline to Week 24

Change From Baseline in Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale-29 (MSIS-29) Physical Score Over 24 Weeks

"The 29-item MSIS-29 is a participant-reported outcome measure to assess the impact of MS on day-to-day life during the past 2 weeks from a participant's perspective; it measures 20 physical items and 9 psychological items. The physical score is generated by summing individual items and then transforming to a scale with a range of 0 (no impact of MS) to 100 (extreme impact of MS); a negative change indicates an improvement in function.~Data are based on a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) model using a common variance AR(1) variance-covariance matrix structure. Treatment, visit and treatment by visit interaction were included in the model as explanatory variables, adjusting for screening EDSS, baseline MSIS-29 physical score and prior aminopyridine as covariates.

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 24

Proportion of Participants Achieving a Mean Improvement From Baseline of ≥ 15% in Timed Up and Go (TUG) Speed Over 24 Weeks

"TUG is a timed walking test designed to measure gait performance and balance. It measures in seconds the time taken by an individual to stand up from a standard arm chair (approximate seat height of 46 cm [18in], arm height 65 cm [25.6 in]), walk a distance of 3 meters (118 inches, approximately 10 feet), turn, walk back to the chair, and sit down.~A responder is defined as a participant with a mean improvement of at least 15% in TUG speed over 24 weeks compared to baseline. Baseline is defined as the mean at Screening and Day 1 visits. Estimated proportion obtained from binomial proportions. There are 2 TUG tests given, and the average across the 2 tests is used to calculate average speed. Healthy participants below the age of 79 are expected to complete this task in 7-10 seconds (American College of Rheumatology). Missing data are handled using multiple imputation and baseline is defined as the mean over Screening and Day 1." (NCT02219932)
Timeframe: Baseline to Week 24

Proportion of Participants Achieving a Mean Improvement of ≥ 8 Points From Baseline on the Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale (MSWS-12) Over 24 Weeks

"MSWS-12 is a participant self-assessment of the walking limitations due to MS during the past 2 weeks. It contains 12 items that measure the impact of MS on walking. Items are summed to generate a total score and transformed to a scale with a range of 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate greater impact on walking.~A responder is defined as a participant with a mean improvement of at least 8 points over 24 weeks compared to baseline. Baseline is defined as the mean at Screening and Day 1 visits. If a participant has a mean MSWS-12 score of < 0.5 over the double-blind period, and a baseline MSWS-12 score of < 8 points, the participant is counted as a responder. A participant who indicates they cannot walk at all on MSWS-12 during any double-blind visit, and who shows severe disability and an inability to walk on other efficacy assessments is counted as a non-responder. Estimated proportion obtained from binomial proportions." (NCT02219932)
Timeframe: Baseline to 24 weeks

Symbol Digit Modalities Test

The Symbol Digit Modalities Test is a measure of cognitive processing speed. The outcome is the total number of correct digit substitutions in 90 seconds, with a possible total range of 0-120. Higher values reflect a better score/outcome than lower scores. (NCT02006160)
Timeframe: Week 0, Week 12

Color Trails Test (CTT)

Measure sustained attention. The CTT uses numbered coloured circles and universal sign language symbols. The circles are printed with vivid pink or yellow backgrounds that are perceptible to colourblind individuals. For the Colour Trails 1 trial, the respondent uses a pencil to rapidly connect circles numbered 1 through 25 in sequence. Less time indicates better performance (min=10, max= 240). (NCT02280096)
Timeframe: 5-8 minutes

Fatigue

The Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) is one of the most frequently used inventories for measuring fatigue in people with chronic illnesses. The FSS questionnaire is comprised of nine statements inquiring about the examinee's sleep habits over the preceding week. Ratings are on a 7-point Likert scale, where higher scores indicate how strongly the patient agrees with the nine statements.Scale. Scoring using a bimodal response system or a Likert score with weights assigned to each response choice. Likert or bimodal rating scales with 4 response options. For the Likert Scale: better than usual= 0, no more than usual= 1, worse than usual= 2, much worse than usual= 3. For the bimodal scale: better than usual= 0, no more than usual= 0, worse than usual= 1, much worse than usual= 1. Sum all items for a total score. Score range. Range is 0 -11 for bimodal response format. Interpretation of scores. Higher score indicates more fatigue. Self report scale (NCT02280096)
Timeframe: 10 minutes

Improved Physical Capacity

The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is a method of quantifying disability in multiple sclerosis and monitoring changes in the level of disability over time. It is widely used in clinical trials and in the assessment of people with MS. The EDSS scale ranges from 0 to 10 in 0.5 unit increments that represent higher levels of disability. Scoring is based on an examination by a neurologist. The first levels 1.0 to 4.5 refers to people with a high degree of ambulatory ability and the subsequent levels 5.0 to 9.5 refers to the loss of ambulatory ability. It also provides eight subscale measurements called Functional System (FS) scores. The levels of function within each category refer to the eight FS affected by MS: The FS are scored on a scale of 0 (low level of problems) to 5 (high level of problems) to best reflect the level of disability observed clinically. (NCT02280096)
Timeframe: 15-20 minutes

Timeframe: 10-15 minutes

Walk

Timed 25 Foot Walk Test (T25-FW). The T25-FW is a quantitative mobility and leg function performance test based on a timed 25-walk. The patient is directed to one end of a clearly marked 25-foot course and is instructed to walk 25 feet as quickly as possible, but safely. The time is calculated from the initiation of the instruction to start and ends when the patient has reached the 25-foot mark. The task is immediately administered again by having the patient walk back the same distance. Patients may use assistive devices when doing this task. TIME LIMIT PER TRIAL (2) 3 minutes (180 seconds) per trial. (NCT02280096)
Timeframe: 5-10 minutes

Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST)

"Is used primarily to assess perseveration and abstract thinking, allows the clinician to assess the following 'frontal' lobe functions: strategic planning, organised searching, utilising environmental feedback to shift cognitive sets, directing behaviour toward achieving a goal. WCST measures abstract reasoning and ability to alter problem solving strategies. Patients are given 128 response cards and 4 stimulus cards and asked to match each stimulus card to 1 pile of response cards. The patient is not told how to match the cards, only right or wrong to each placement. The examiner may change matching rules during the test. Perseveration errors occur when subject repeats the same error no matter how many times they are told the placement is wrong. Higher scores indicate a worse cognitive performance (min=0-3, max=58-126)" (NCT02280096)
Timeframe: 10-15 minutes

Five Digit Test (FDT). Processing Speed

Processing speed information (which includes reading, count, and alternation speed). Cards with a different number of stimuli are shown to the patient, who has to read, count, and respond to a change of instructions (alternation). Reading speed (min 12, max 31+ seconds), counting speed (min 14, max 28+ seconds), and alternation speed (min 26, max 56+ seconds) are recorded. Less speed corresponds to a better outcome. (NCT02280096)
Timeframe: 8-10 min

Number of Participants With Abnormal Studies

Safety surveillance will be done every two weeks from the beginning of the study, intentionally searching for adverse events (AE). EEG (Diffuse or focal cerebral dysfunction through demonstration of background slowing or presence of epileptiform activity assessed by a neurophysiologist) and laboratory tests (Presence of values higher of the normal value established by local laboratory and related to the administration of treatments), blood and urine samples: creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, total cholesterol, triglycerides, total direct, and indirect bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine kinase, lactic acid dehydrogenase, amylase and lipase. A complete blood cell count with differentials and a routine urinalysis and urine culture also obtained at each visit, will be done before the patients take 40, 50 and 60 mg/day. The number of participants with abnormal studies were reported. (NCT02280096)
Timeframe: 22 weeks

Tower Of London (TOL). Execution Time and Problem-solving Time

Measures higher-order problem-solving ability. The information it provides is not only useful when assessing frontal lobe damage, but also when evaluating attention disorders and executive functioning difficulties. The administrator arranges red, green, and blue beads on a peg board to match the configuration in the diagram. The patient is asked to replicate the configuration on a second peg board. Scores are calculated for Total Execution Time (since the patient performs the first move until he ends the test), Total Problem-Solving Time (the sum of planning and execution times). Total execution time higher scores indicate a worse outcome (min= 0-78, max=564+ seconds), Total problem-solving time higher scores indicate a worse outcome (min= 0-56, max=500+ seconds). (NCT02280096)
Timeframe: 25-30 minutes

Tower Of London (TOL). Total Moves and Total Correct Moves

Measures higher order problem-solving ability.

Change From Baseline in Percent Work Time Missed Due to MS on the WPAI-SHP Questionnaire at Months 3, 6, 9, and 12 by Whether Taking Additional MS Therapy

WPAI-SHP is a 6-question participant-rated questionnaire to determine degree to which a specific health problem affected work productivity while at work and outside of work. Four scores are derived: percentage of absenteeism (percentage of work time missed) and presenteeism (reduced productivity while at work), overall work impairment score combining absenteeism and presenteeism, and percentage of impairment in activities performed outside of work. Score range: 0 (not affected/no impairment) to 100 (completely affected/impaired). WPAI outcomes are expressed as impairment percentages with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity. A decrease from Baseline indicates improvement. A mixed effect model for repeated measures was used for this analysis. An unstructured covariance was used to model within-participant error. The 'overall' estimate is the average change from baseline over the whole time period (through Month 12). (NCT01480076)

In order to account for all contributed data (even for those who did not complete the study but contributed some post-randomization data in the active study phase), the primary analyses include the CVLT-II scores acquired within the active treatment phase (from baseline to week 24 visit). We then calculated and report the average change per week in the score. (NCT02988401)
Timeframe: Up to week 24 visit

Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function as Assessed by the Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT)

This test measures phonemic fluency. The test scores the number of words a participant can provide that begin with a specified letter within one minute, such that scores range from zero (worst) to an infinite number (better). Total score is sum of three 60-second trials. In order to account for all contributed data (even for those who did not complete the study but contributed some post-randomization data in the active study phase), the primary analyses include the COWAT scores acquired within the active treatment phase (from baseline to week 24 visit). We then calculated and report the average change per week in the score. (NCT02988401)
Timeframe: Up to week 24 visit

Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function as Assessed by the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System Sorting Test

This test measures executive functioning, concept formation, and cognitive flexibility. Scores range from zero to 16; higher is better. In order to account for all contributed data (even for those who did not complete the study but contributed some post-randomization data in the active study phase), the analyses include DKEFS correct sort scores acquired within the active treatment phase (from baseline to week 24 visit). We then calculated and report the average change per week in the score. (NCT02988401)
Timeframe: Up to week 24 visit

Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function as Assessed by the Judgement of Line Orientation Test (JLO)

Judgment of Line Orientation Test measures a person's ability to match the angle and orientation of lines in space. Scores range from zero to 30; higher is better. In order to account for all contributed data (even for those who did not complete the study but contributed some post-randomization data in the active study phase), the analyses include JLO data acquired within the active treatment phase (from baseline to week 24 visit). We then calculated and report the average change per week in the score. (NCT02988401)
Timeframe: Up to week 24 visit

Change in Cognitive Function as Assessed by the Rao-version of the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT)

"The Rao-version of the PASAT evaluates processing speed, working memory, and basic addition skills. Scores range from zero to 60; higher is better. Herein we present 3-second PASAT results (PASAT-3). In order to account for all contributed data (even for those who did not complete the study but contributed some post-randomization data in the active study phase), the analyses include PASAT-3 scores acquired within the active treatment phase (from baseline to week 24 visit). We then calculated and report the average change per week in the SDMT." (NCT02988401)
Timeframe: Up to week 24 visit

Change in Cognitive Function as Assessed by the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT)

This task will be performed at five study visits. The SDMT is one of the most commonly used tests to assess processing speed in the MS population and is included in the Minimal Assessment of Cognitive Function in MS (MACFIMS). Higher scores reflect a better outcome (range 0 to 110). In order to account for all contributed data (even for those who did not complete the study but contributed some post-randomization data in the active study phase), the primary analyses include the SDMTs acquired within the active treatment phase (from baseline to week 24 visit). We then calculated and report the average change per week in the SDMT. (NCT02988401)
Timeframe: Up to week 24 visit

Evaluation of How Overall Sleep Quality Impacts People With MS Using a Sleep Questionnaire (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index)

The sleep questionnaire asks subjects to report various aspects related to their sleep routine. Scores range from zero to 21; higher score indicates worse sleep quality. In order to account for all contributed data (even for those who did not complete the study but contributed some post-randomization data in the active study phase), the analyses include the PSQIs acquired within the active treatment phase (from baseline to week 24 visit). We then calculated and report the average change per week in the score. (NCT02988401)
Timeframe: Up to week 24 visit

Evaluation of Impact of Study Products on Health Related Quality of Life Using the Functional Assessment of Multiple Sclerosis Questionnaire (FAMS)

FAMS is a self-reported health-related quality-of-life instrument for people with multiple sclerosis. Subjects rate six quality-of-life domains: Mobility, Symptoms, Emotional well-being, General contentment, Thinking/fatigue, and Family/social well-being. Scores range from zero to 176; higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life. In order to account for all contributed data (even for those who did not complete the study but contributed some post-randomization data in the active study phase), the analyses include the FAMS scores acquired within the active treatment phase (from baseline to week 24 visit). We then calculated and report the average change per week in the score. (NCT02988401)
Timeframe: Up to week 24 visit

Number of Participants With Adverse Events Leading to Study Discontinuation

An adverse event will be defined as any occurrence or worsening of an undesirable or unintended sign, symptom (or abnormal laboratory test), or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or intervention, whether or not it is considered related to the product/intervention. We report overall adverse events in the relevant section. Here, we report adverse events that led to study discontinuation. (NCT02988401)
Timeframe: Up to week 24 visit

Fingerstick Blood Glucose (Subset)

Fingerstick blood glucose levels were monitored twice within the 90 minutes following the first dose administration of study drug for the first 15 participants. (NCT02988401)
Timeframe: At the baseline visit, monitored twice within the 90 minutes following the first dose administration of study drug
