Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effectiveness of Mexiletine for Treating People With Non-Dystrophic Myotonia (NCT NCT00832000)
NCT ID: NCT00832000
Last Updated: 2013-08-23
Results Overview
Stiffness measured on a 1-9 scale, 1 being minimal, 9 the worst ever experienced. 0=no symptom reported. For analysis the average severity of stiffness for each participant was calculated from daily calls made in weeks 3-4 of each period.
COMPLETED
PHASE2
59 participants
Weeks 3-4 of each period
2013-08-23
Participant Flow
Eligible participants were at least 16 years of age, had clinical symptoms or signs of NDM, and myotonic potentials on electromyography. Participants were either enrolled in the CINCH NDM Natural History Study, or a new patient with genetically confirmed NDM, or with clinical features of NDM but negative myotonic dystrophy DNA testing.
Patients taking anti-myotonic agents were required to discontinue medications for a wash-out period equal to 7 times the half-life of elimination prior to their baseline visit. Participants were ineligible if they has specific contraindications to taking mexiletine (cardiac conduction defects, hepatic or renal disease, or heart failure).

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Weeks 3-4 of each periodPopulation: Modified intention to treat analysis (n=57). 2 subjects were excluded from analysis due to failure call the IVR system in either period. Treatment group estimates by period are taken from the mixed model, the number above reflecting the number who contributed to the model point estimate. Confidence intervals are bootstrap confidence intervals.
Stiffness measured on a 1-9 scale, 1 being minimal, 9 the worst ever experienced. 0=no symptom reported. For analysis the average severity of stiffness for each participant was calculated from daily calls made in weeks 3-4 of each period.

The treatment-specific group mean is taken from the mixed model. Confidence intervals are bootstrap confidence intervals.
Quality of life scale for patinets with neuromuscular disorders. The INQoL summary score is a weighted average made up of 5 subdomains (activities, social relationships, independence, emotions, and body image) which document the impact of a disease on a patients' quality of life. Scores range from 0-100, and can be interpreted as the percent of maximal detrimental impact on quality of life. A higher score indicates more detrimental impact.

Timeframe: Particiapnts who experienced weakness on mexiletine in either period 1 or period 2.Population: All participants with SF-36 physical composite values in either period 1 or period 2 were included in analysis. The treatment-specific group mean is taken from the mixed model. Confidence intervals are bootstrap confidence intervals.
The SF-36 is a standard quality of life instrument. The physical composite score represents the the physical burden on quality of life and is a summary of questions related to physical impact of a disease or condition (physical function, role physical, bodily pain, and general health). The score is nomralized to the population and ranges from 0-100, with the US normal value of 50. A lower score represents a greater impact of quality of life.

The SF-36 is a standard quality of life instrument. The mental composite score represents the the mental burden on quality of life and is a summary of questions related to mental impact of a disease or condition (mental function, role emotional, vitality, and mental health). The score is nomralized to the population and ranges from 0-100, with the US normal value of 50. A lower score represents a greater impact of quality of life.
