Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, multinational, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose range finding study to compare the efficacy and safety of different doses of pridopidine versus placebo in the treatment of motor impairment in Huntington's Disease (HD).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

Originally, the study was designed to assess the effect of pridopidine on motor function at 26 weeks. Due to the recognition that the primary target of pridopidine is the Sigma-1 receptor, the trial was extended from 26 to 52 weeks to evaluate the effect of pridopidine on Total Functional Capacity (TFC). A minimum of 52 weeks are needed for the placebo group to decline and allow a window to assess an effect on TFC (a prespecified endpoint). Approximately 20% of patients completed 26 weeks of the study before IRB approvals for this extension, and did not continue into the 2nd treatment period up to 52 weeks.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale-Total Motor Score (UHDRS-TMS) at Week 26 [26 weeks]

      TMS was defined as the sum of all UHDRS motor domains ratings. The motor section of the UHDRS assesses motor features of Huntington's Disease (HD) with standardized ratings of oculo-motor function, dysarthria, chorea, dystonia, gait, and postural stability. Each of 15 assessments is rated on a scale of 0 (normal) to 4 (marked impairment) for a TMS range of 0-124. Negative change from baseline values indicate improvement.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Patients With Adverse Events [52 weeks]

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Total Functional Capacity (TFC) at Week 52 [52 weeks]

      The TFC is one subscale of the Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS), comprising 5 functional domains associated with disability (occupation, finances, domestic chores, activities of daily living, and care level), with scores on each item ranging from 0 to either 2 or 3. The TFC total score is the sum of the 5 TFC items and can range from 0 to 13, with greater scores indicating higher functioning. Negative change from baseline indicates worsening.

    Title Change From Baseline in Total Functional Capacity (TFC) at Week 52
    Description The TFC is one subscale of the Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS), comprising 5 functional domains associated with disability (occupation, finances, domestic chores, activities of daily living, and care level), with scores on each item ranging from 0 to either 2 or 3. The TFC total score is the sum of the 5 TFC items and can range from 0 to 13, with greater scores indicating higher functioning. Negative change from baseline indicates worsening.

    Title Change in Total Functional Capacity (TFC) From Baseline in Patients With Early HD (Defined as Patients With TFC>=7)
    Description The TFC is one subscale of the Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS), comprising 5 functional domains associated with disability (occupation, finances, domestic chores, activities of daily living, and care level), with scores on each item ranging from 0 to either 2 or 3. The TFC total score is the sum of the 5 TFC items and can range from 0 to 13, with greater scores indicating higher functioning. Negative change from baseline indicates worsening.

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    FAS i.e. pts receiving ≥1 dose of study drug and with ≥1 post-BL efficacy assessment; pts with early HD defined by BL TFC score ≥7. The study tested 4 pridopidine doses on TMS for 26 w. Due to a new understanding on pridopidine's mechanism of action (S1R agonist), the study was extended to 52w to assess TFC in all HD. A post-hoc analysis for the 45 mg bid dose was performed for TFC in early HD, and the dose was chosen for Phase 3.
