Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study consisting of a screening period of up to 4 weeks (with the exception of participants on primidone at baseline who will be allowed 6 weeks of screening to allow for safe discontinuation). Screening results from all patients meeting the eligibility requirements will be further assessed by the sponsor medical personnel for final approval of suitability for inclusion in the study. Randomized participants will enter a 4 week double-blind dose-titration treatment period, followed by a 1 week safety follow-up period following the last dose of study medication, and a scheduled follow-up safety telephone call one week later.

Phase 2

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study consisting of a screening period of up to 4 weeks (with the exception of participants on primidone at baseline who will be allowed 6 weeks of screening to allow for safe discontinuation). Screening results from all patients meeting the eligibility requirements will be further assessed by the sponsor medical personnel for final approval of suitability for inclusion in the study. Randomized participants will enter a 4 week double-blind dose-titration treatment period, followed by a 1 week safety follow-up period following the last dose of study medication, and a scheduled follow-up safety telephone call one week later.

Participants will be randomized to one of two treatment groups. Group A will receive titrating doses of CX-8998 up to 10 mg BID and Group B will receive placebo. Participant randomization will be stratified by presence or absence of a single concomitant anti-tremor medication and by site-type (sub-study vs non sub-study).

Tremor will be assessed via The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale (TETRAS) and accelerometry. To reduce the potential for bias in the assessments of efficacy, all participants will be videotaped during the TETRAS performance scale testing according to a consistent script. The videotapes will be rated in a blinded manner by qualified, independent raters. A subset of participants will participate in a digital biomarker sub-study.

Participants will be screened up to 4 weeks prior to initiation of dosing. Participants taking primidone at screening who are otherwise deemed eligible for participation and are willing to discontinue primidone will be allowed an additional 2 weeks of screening (a total of 6 weeks) to ensure safe primidone discontinuation. At Baseline, participants will undergo safety and tremor assessments prior to dosing, will receive their first dose of study drug and will be monitored for safety for one hour following dosing. For one week participants will receive 4 mg (or matching placebo) twice daily. Participants will return to the clinic on Day 8 for safety monitoring and dose up-titration to 8 mg (or matching placebo) twice daily. At Day 15 (Week 3) participants will return to clinic for safety and efficacy assessments and final dose up-titration to 10 mg (or matching placebo) twice daily. The final efficacy visit will occur at Day 28 (Week 4). A final safety visit will occur at Day 35 (Week 5). Should participants experience intolerable adverse events (AEs) at 4 mg BID, 8 mg BID or 10 mg BID, the dose may be decreased at Day 8 or Day 15 to the next lowest dose one time (or 2 mg BID in the case of the 4 mg BID dose.

Randomized participants will have the opportunity to participate in an optional exploratory sub-study designed to assess the utility of digital assessment tools for tremor (sub-study addendum #1). Participants with Parkinson's disease tremor will be enrolled in a second exploratory sub-study (addendum #2).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Baseline and Day 28 on The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale Performance Subscale (TETRAS-PS) Total Score [Baseline and Day 28 post-dose.]

    The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale Performance Subscale (TETRAS-PS) was used to assess the efficacy of CX-8998 in reducing essential tremor as scored by the independent video raters. TETRAS-PS quantifies tremor in the head, face, voice, limbs, and trunk. The overall subscale score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 64. A lower score is indicative of improvement and a better outcome.

  2. Change From Baseline to Day 28 on The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale Performance Subscale (TETRAS-PS) [Baseline up to Day 28 post-dose.]

    The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale Performance Subscale (TETRAS-PS) was used to assess the efficacy of CX-8998 in reducing essential tremor as scored by the independent video raters. TETRAS-PS quantifies tremor in the head, face, voice, limbs, and trunk. The overall subscale score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 64. A decrease or negative change in the score is indicative of improvement in outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Baseline and Day 28 on The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale Activities of Daily Living (TETRAS-ADL) Subscale Score [Baseline and Day 28 post-dose.]

    TETRAS-ADL subscale assesses items such as eating and drinking, dressing and personal hygiene, carrying items, and finer motor skills. Each item is rated on a scale for 0 to 4 on which 0 = normal activity and 4 = severe abnormality. The sum of the individual scores provides an overall score, which ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 48. A lower score is indicative of improvement or a better outcome.

  2. Change From Baseline to Day 28 on The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale Activities of Daily Living (TETRAS-ADL) Subscale Score [Baseline up to Day 28 post-dose.]

    TETRAS-ADL subscale assesses items such as eating and drinking, dressing and personal hygiene, carrying items, and finer motor skills. Each item is rated on a scale for 0 to 4 on which 0 = normal activity and 4 = severe abnormality. The sum of the individual scores provides an overall score, which ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 48. A decrease or negative change in score is indicative of improvement or a better outcome.

  3. Baseline and Day 28 in the Kinesia ONE Score [Baseline and Day 28 post-dose.]

    Kinesia ONE was developed to provide a quantitative measurement of motor symptoms in individuals with Parkinson's disease. Scores are presented as the sum of the scores of the left and right hands. A total of 4 tasks were performed on the left side and then on the right side to assess resting, postural, kinetic, and lateral wing beating tremor. Values for each test range from 0 (no tremor) to 4 (severe tremor). The total overall score is the sum of all individual items and ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 32. A lower score is indicative of improvement or a better outcome.

  4. Change From Baseline to Day 28 in the Kinesia ONE Score [Baseline up to Day 28 post-dose.]

    Kinesia ONE was developed to provide a quantitative measurement of motor symptoms in individuals with Parkinson's disease. Scores are presented as the sum of the scores of the left and right hands. A total of 4 tasks were performed on the left side and then on the right side to assess resting, postural, kinetic, and lateral wing beating tremor. Values for each test range from 0 (no tremor) to 4 (severe tremor). The total overall score is the sum of all individual items and ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 32. A decrease or negative change in score is indicative of improvement or a better outcome.

Adverse Events

Time Frame Adverse events (AEs) were collected from the time the informed consent form was signed through the follow-up telephone call on Day 56. AEs were followed until resolution or until the symptoms or values returned to normal or acceptable limits, whichever was earlier.
Adverse Event Reporting Description Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are adverse events (AEs) that occur after the initiation of the study drug through 30 days after the last dose or a pretreatment event that worsens in intensity during the same period.
