Trial Outcomes & Findings for Polysomnography Study of GSK1838262 Extended Release Tablets Versus Placebo in RLS and Associated Sleep Disturbance (NCT NCT00748098)
NCT ID: NCT00748098
Last Updated: 2013-07-22
Results Overview
PSG is a comprehensive recording of the bio-physiological changes that occur during sleep. It is also known as a "sleep study" that monitors participants as they sleep or try to sleep. WTDS, defined as the total amount of time spent awake after falling asleep until the last awakening, was measured by PSG. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 4/10 (representing the last week of each intervention period, i.e. Weeks 4 and 10)Population: ITT Population: Of the 131 ITT participants, 2 and 6 participants did not take Placebo and GEn 1200 mg, respectively, in the second period. In addition, 6 placebo and 4 GEn 1200 participants did not have PSG data during the second intervention period and were therefore not included in this analysis.

The IRLS is a measure of RLS disease severity. Ten items (individually scored from 0 to 4) are included that assess the impact of symptoms on participants' mood, daily life, and activities. The total scale score is a sum of all of the individual item scores and ranges from 0-40 points, with 40 being the most severe. The scale assesses symptoms over the week prior to measurement. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.

An additional 4 participants (2 in each treatment group) were excluded from the analysis due to missing/incomplete data.
The IRLS is a measure of RLS disease severity. Item 4 of the IRLS evaluates RLS-related sleep impairment. It asks: "In the past week, how severe was your sleep disturbance due to your RLS symptoms?". The item is participant rated using a 5-point scale, where 0 is the absence of any sleep disturbance and 4 is very severe disturbance. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.

Stage N1 is considered "light sleep," during which participants drift in and out of sleep and can be awakened easily. In this stage, the eyes move slowly and muscle activity slows. This stage is sometimes referred to as "somnolence" or "drowsy sleep." Sudden twitches and hypnic jerks may be associated with the onset of sleep during N1. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.

In stage N2 of sleep, eye movement stops and brain waves become slower, with only an occasional burst of rapid brain waves. Participants may also experience spontaneous periods of muscle tone mixed with periods of muscle relaxation. During this stage, muscular activity, and conscious awareness of the external environment disappears. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.

In REM sleep, a participant's breathing becomes more rapid, irregular, and shallow; eyes jerk rapidly; and limb muscles are temporarily paralyzed. Brain waves during this stage increase to levels experienced when a person is awake. This is the stage when most dreams occur. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 4/10 (representing the last week of each intervention period, i.e. Weeks 4 and 10)Population: ITT Population: The number of participants assessed varied due to missing/incomplete diary data.
Each day upon awakening, participants rated their overall sleep quality for the previous night on an 11-point scale (0=poor to 10=excellent) using the SPSD. Response to sleep quality was calculated for each visit by averaging the last 7 available diary days. Only participants with at least 4 days of diary data available (not in consecutive order) at any visit were included in the analysis. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 4/10 (representing the last week of each intervention period, i.e. Weeks 4 and 10)Population: ITT Population: The number of participants assessed varied due to missing/incomplete diary data.
Each day upon awakening, participants recorded, using the SPSD, the total number of hours spent awake the previous night due to RLS. Response to number of hours awake was calculated for each visit by averaging the last 7 available diary days. Only participants with at least 4 days of diary data available (not in consecutive order) at any visit were included in the analysis. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 4/10 (representing the last week of each intervention period, i.e. Weeks 4 and 10)Population: ITT Population: The number of participants assessed varied due to missing/incomplete data.
The CGI-S scale allows the investigator to rate the severity of participants' illness considering their total clinical experience with the participant population being studied and based on all information available at the time of rating. The scale is rated from 1-7 (1=Normal, not at all ill; 7=Among the most extremely ill patients). Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 4 and Week 10 values minus the baseline value. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for treatment, pooled center, and period effects.

The CGI-I scale allows the investigator to rate the participant's global improvement or worsening compared with the condition at baseline (i.e., Day 1), and whether or not the change is thought to be due to treatment with study medication. The scale is rated from 1-7 (1=Very much improved to 7=Very much worse). Participants with a score of 1 ("Very much improved") or 2 ("Much improved") are considered to be responders.

Participant satisfaction with RLS medication was captured on a seven-point ordinal scale. The scale asked "Overall, how satisfied are you with the medication you received for the treatment of your RLS symptoms during the study." The participant responses ranged from 1 ("Very satisfied") to 7 ("Very dissatisfied"). A "satisfied" response was scored a 2.
