Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

A randomized, double-blind, clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of two doses of oral cladribine versus placebo in participants who had a first clinical demyelinating event (clinically isolated syndrome). Participants in either the cladribine or placebo group may also enter treatment periods with open-label interferon-beta or open-label cladribine depending upon the disease status. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of two dosage regimens of oral cladribine versus placebo on the time to conversion to multiple sclerosis (MS) (from randomization) according to the Poser criteria in participants with first clinical demyelinating event at high risk of converting to MS.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

This will be a randomized, double blind, three-arm, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral cladribine versus placebo in the treatment of participants who have sustained a first clinical demyelinating event within 75 days prior to the Screening. Participants must have a minimum of 2 clinically silent lesions on the Screening magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

The study will include a pre-study evaluation period (Screening period: between 10 and 28 days prior to the start of treatment with blinded study medication (oral cladribine or placebo).

Depending upon the clinical course of their MS, participants will then proceed from the ITP to either the Maintenance Treatment Period (with open-label interferon-beta treatment) or LTFU period (with either open-label low-dose cladribine or no additional treatment (if no progression to MS has been noted after the initial treatment period). The single primary endpoint for the overall study, which will be determined during the ITP, is time to conversion to MS (from randomization), according to the Poser criteria.

For every participants, eligibility for study enrollment and entry into each of the study periods, and diagnosis of conversion to either McDonald MS or CDMS must be confirmed and approved by a Sponsor appointed study Adjudication Committee.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. ITP: Time to Clinically Definite Multiple Sclerosis (CDMS) Conversion Represented by Kaplan-Meier Estimates of the Cumulative Percentage of Participants With CDMS [ITP: Baseline up to Week 96]

    CDMS according to the Poser criteria is defined as the occurrence of a second attack or a sustained increase in the expanded disability status scale (EDSS) Score. EDSS assesses disability in 8 functional systems. An overall score ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to Multiple Sclerosis [MS]) was calculated. Sustained EDSS progression was defined as an increase in the EDSS score of greater than or equal to (>=) 1 point if baseline EDSS was between >= 1.0 and less than or equal to (=<) 4.5; or >= 1.5 points if baseline EDSS was 0, or >= 0.5 if baseline EDSS >= 5.0 over a period of at least 3 months. Kaplan-Meier estimates were provided for of the cumulative (cum.) percentage (%) of participants with CDMS over time. The probability of patients remaining event-free over time (from randomization) in each of the three treatment groups was displayed in the form of survival curves estimated using the non-parametric Kaplan-Meier method.

Secondary Outcome Measures

    The McDonald criteria use dissemination in time and space established by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings to provide a clinical diagnosis for MS. Dissemination in time is established by a new time constant 2 (T2) or gadolinium enhanced (Gd+) lesion found on a repeat MRI. Dissemination in space is established by the presence of any 3 of the following: 1 Gd+ lesion or 9 T2 bright lesions if there is no enhancement; greater than or equal to 1 infratentorial lesion; greater than or equal to 1 juxtacortical lesion; greater than or equal to 3 periventricular lesions.

  45. LTFU (LTFU Analysis Set [No Treatment at LTFU Entry]): Number of Relapses [Baseline up to Week 48]

    Relapse was defined as new, worsening or recurrent neurological symptoms attributed to multiple sclerosis that last for at least 24 hours without fever or infection, or adverse reaction to prescribed medication, preceded by a stable or improving neurological status of at least 30 days.

  46. OLMP: Annualized Relapse Rate [Baseline up to Week 96]

    The annualized relapse rate for each treatment group was the mean of the annualized relapse rates for all the participants in the group, calculated as the total number of confirmed relapses divided by the total number of days on study multiplied by 365.25. Where, Relapse was defined as new, worsening or recurrent neurological symptoms attributed to multiple sclerosis that last for at least 24 hours without fever or infection, or adverse reaction to prescribed medication, preceded by a stable or improving neurological status of at least 30 days.

  47. OLMP: Percentage of Relapse-Free Participants [Baseline up to Week 96]

    Relapse was defined as new, worsening or recurrent neurological symptoms attributed to multiple sclerosis that last for at least 24 hours without fever or infection, or adverse reaction to prescribed medication, preceded by a stable or improving neurological status of at least 30 days. Percentage of relapse-free participants were reported.

  48. ITP: Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs [ITP: Baseline up to Week 96]

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in the form of signs, symptoms, abnormal laboratory findings, or diseases that emerges or worsens relative to baseline during a clinical study with an Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP), regardless of causal relationship and even if no IMP has been administered. SAE: Any AE that resulted in death; was life threatening; resulted in persistent/significant disability/incapacity; resulted in/prolonged an existing in-patient hospitalization; was a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or was a medically important condition. The term TEAE is defined as AEs starting or worsening after the first intake of the study drug. TEAEs include both Serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs. Number of Participants with TEAEs and serious TEAEs were reported.

  • If female, she must:

  • be neither pregnant nor breast-feeding, nor attempting to conceive and

  • use a highly effective method of contraception throughout the entire duration of the study and for 90 days following completion of the last dose of study medication. A highly effective method of contraception is defined as those which result in a low failure rate (that is less than 1 percent per year) when used consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine devices, sexual abstinence or vasectomized partner, or

  • be post-menopausal or surgically sterilized (Note: for Danish sites only, participants should use a hormonal contraceptive or intrauterine device for the duration of the trial)

1. Primary Outcome
Title ITP: Time to Clinically Definite Multiple Sclerosis (CDMS) Conversion Represented by Kaplan-Meier Estimates of the Cumulative Percentage of Participants With CDMS
Description CDMS according to the Poser criteria is defined as the occurrence of a second attack or a sustained increase in the expanded disability status scale (EDSS) Score. EDSS assesses disability in 8 functional systems. An overall score ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to Multiple Sclerosis [MS]) was calculated. Sustained EDSS progression was defined as an increase in the EDSS score of greater than or equal to (>=) 1 point if baseline EDSS was between >= 1.0 and less than or equal to (=<) 4.5; or >= 1.5 points if baseline EDSS was 0, or >= 0.5 if baseline EDSS >= 5.0 over a period of at least 3 months. Kaplan-Meier estimates were provided for of the cumulative (cum.) percentage (%) of participants with CDMS over time. The probability of patients remaining event-free over time (from randomization) in each of the three treatment groups was displayed in the form of survival curves estimated using the non-parametric Kaplan-Meier method.
