Study Description

Brief Summary

This study evaluates the efficacy, safety and tolerability of NER1006 versus MOVIPREP in adult patients requiring bowel cleansing prior to any procedure that requires a clean bowel, using a 2-Day evening/morning Split-Dosing and 1-Day morning only Split-Dosing regimens. Approximately 810 patients will be randomised with the aim of achieving a minimum of 245 patients in each of the 3 groups.

NER1006: 2-Day Split-Dosing Regimen (to commence in the evening of the day before colonoscopy).

Drug: NER1006, 2-Day Split-Dosing
The subject will self-administer the first dose of the assigned investigational product in the evening prior to the scheduled colonoscopy and take mandatory additional clear fluid. Subject will take the second dose together with mandatory additional clear fluids on the morning of the colonoscopy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Patients With Successful Bowel Cleansing (Overall Colon) [Up to 2 days (from day of first dosing to day of colonoscopy)]

    The overall quality of bowel cleansing was assessed by a blinded central reader (an experienced and trained colonoscopist) using the segmental scores of the Harefield Cleansing Scale (HCS). A final HCS grading of A, B, C or D was derived. Grades A and B are classified as successful (i.e. all mucosa could be visualized) and C and D are classified as unsuccessful. Comparison of overall success of cleansing with NER1006 2-Day and 1-Day versus MOVIPREP was evaluated using a non-inferiority study design.

  2. Number of Patients With 'Excellent Plus Good' (Highly Effective) Bowel Cleansing (Colon Ascendens) [Up to 2 days (from day of first dosing to day of colonoscopy)]

    The overall quality of bowel cleansing was assessed by a blinded central reader (an experienced and trained colonoscopist) using the segmental scores of the Harefield Cleansing Scale (HCS). Highly effective cleansing in the colon ascendens corresponded to scores 3 (Good) or 4 (Excellent) of the HCS. Adequate plus failure of cleansing corresponded to score 0-2. Comparison of 'Excellent plus good' cleansing of the colon ascendens using NER1006 2-Day and 1-Day versus MOVIPREP was evaluated using a non-inferiority study design.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Adenoma Detection Rate (Colon Ascendens) [Up to 2 days (from day of first dosing to day of colonoscopy)]

    Comparison of the number of patients with at least one adenoma detected in the colon ascendens when NER1006 2-Day and 1-Day is used for bowel cleansing versus MOVIPREP. Adenoma detection rate (ADR) defined as the number of patients with at least one adenoma in the colon ascendens.

  2. Adenoma Detection Rate (Overall Colon) [Up to 2 days (from day of first dosing to day of colonoscopy)]

    Comparison of the number of patients with at least one adenoma detected in the overall colon when NER1006 2-Day and 1-Day is used for bowel cleansing versus MOVIPREP. Adenoma detection rate (ADR) defined as the number of patients with at least one adenoma in the overall colon.

  3. Polyp Detection Rate (Colon Ascendens) [Up to 2 days (from day of first dosing to day of colonoscopy)]

    Comparison of the number of patients with at least one polyp detected in the colon ascendens when NER1006 2-Day and 1-Day is used for bowel cleansing versus MOVIPREP. Polyp detection rate (PDR) defined as the number of patients with at least one polyp in the colon ascendens.

  4. Polyp Detection Rate (Overall Colon) [Up to 2 days (from day of first dosing to day of colonoscopy)]

    Comparison of the number of patients with at least one polyp detected in the overall colon when NER1006 is used for bowel cleansing versus number detected when MOVIPREP is used. PDR defined as the number of patients with at least one polyp in the overall colon.

Statistical Analysis 1
Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection MOVIPREP, 2-Day Split-Dosing, NER1006, 2-Day Split-Dosing
Comments Hypothesis was to demonstrate non-inferiority (NI) of NER1006 2-Day to MOVIPREP (10% margin). Success rate was no. of patients with successful overall bowel cleansing as proportion of no. of patients in each group. Treatment effect was NER1006 2-Day success rate - MOVIPREP success rate. Hochberg procedure used to control Type I error since there were 2 alternative primary endpoints. An alpha level of 1.25% 1-sided was used. A closed testing procedure used to evaluate superiority if NI was met.
Type of Statistical Test Non-Inferiority or Equivalence
Comments The confidence limits (CL) were adjusted for multiple comparisons (two alternative primary endpoints): To be declared non-inferior, the primary endpoint must show a difference in success rates of no greater than 10% in favour of MOVIPREP using lower 1-sided 97.5% CL. Calculated using exact Clopper-Pearson CLs. To accommodate the comparison of 2 NER1006 regimens a hierarchical testing approach was used whereby NER1006 2-Day was assessed first and, if successful, then NER1006 1-Day was evaluated.
Statistical Test of Hypothesis p-Value 0.055

Comments If at least one of the alternative primary endpoints was met, then key secondary endpoints for the same colon region as met by the primary endpoint were evaluated hierarchically in a pre-specified order. The difference in ADR was calculated as NER1006 2-Day rate - MOVIPREP rate using 1-sided 97.5% confidence limits. Formal testing was to proceed in the hierarchy if preceding key secondary endpoint met non-inferiority. This procedure ensured overall Type I error control at 2.5% 1-sided.

The overall number of participants analyzed was based on the mFAS. This included all randomized patients, except any patient who (i) was randomized but subsequently failed to meet entry criteria and (ii) in whom it was confirmed (from their patient diary) that the same patient did not receive any study drug.

Statistical Analysis 1
Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection MOVIPREP, 2-Day Split-Dosing, NER1006, 2-Day Split-Dosing
Comments If at least one of the alternative primary endpoints was met, then key secondary endpoints for the same colon region as met by the primary endpoint were evaluated hierarchically in a pre-specified order. The difference in ADR was calculated as NER1006 2-Day rate - MOVIPREP rate using 1-sided 97.5% confidence limits. Formal testing was to proceed in the hierarchy if preceding key secondary endpoint met non-inferiority. This procedure ensured overall Type I error control at 2.5% 1-sided.
Type of Statistical Test Non-Inferiority or Equivalence
Comments To be declared non-inferior, the key secondary endpoint must show a difference in rates of no greater than 10% in favor of MOVIPREP using lower 1-sided 97.5% confidence limits. Calculated using exact Clopper-Pearson confidence limits.
Statistical Test of Hypothesis p-Value 0.569
Comments To be declared superior, the key secondary endpoint must demonstrate non-inferiority and show a significant advantage for NER1006 2-Day relative to MOVIPREP with 1-sided p-value <0.025, the threshold for statistical significance.

Comments If at least one of the primary endpoints were met, then key secondary endpoints were evaluated hierarchically in a pre-specified order. Non-inferiority was concluded if the 1-sided 97.5% confidence limit difference in proportion of events between 2 groups excluded a 10% or greater difference was in favor of MOVIPREP. Formal testing was to proceed in the hierarchy if preceding key secondary endpoint had at least met non-inferiority.
Type of Statistical Test Non-Inferiority or Equivalence
Comments To accommodate the comparison of two NER1006 regimens, a hierarchical testing approach was used whereby NER1006 2-Day was assessed first and, if successful, then NER1006 1-Day was evaluated. Difference in Polyp Detection Rate in the colon ascendens was calculated as NER1006 2-Day rate - MOVIPREP rate (10% margin) determined using exact Clopper-Pearson confidence limits.
