Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Efficacy of Midodrine in Symptomatic Orthostatic Hypotension (NCT NCT01515865)

NCT ID: NCT01515865

Last Updated: 2021-06-09

Results Overview

Failure to maintain a response was defined as any randomized subject that met both criterion 1 and criterion 2 below on Day 16: 1. The Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment (OHSA) Item 1 score increased by \>=4 points compared to baseline. OHSA Item 1 is a dizziness scale that is scored on a range from 0 (no dizziness) to 10 (severe dizziness). A lower score indicates less severe symptoms. 2. There was an increase in the number of syncopal/near syncopal events or severity of events within 15 minutes of standing compared to those observed at baseline. Syncope was defined as a loss of consciousness, and near syncope was defined as a feeling (e.g., dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling faint, feeling as though one would black out) that, without intervention, would lead to a loss of consciousness.

Measure
Midodrine HCl - (Open-label)
On the morning of Day -1, subjects took their usual morning dose of midodrine HCl, using their own midodrine HCl supplies at approximately the same time before rising that they would normally take their morning dose. On the morning of Day 1, subjects had their usual morning dose of midodrine HCl withheld. On Day 2, all eligible subjects continued on their midodrine HCl dose regimen over at least 14 days, using study-supplied investigational product.
Midodrine HCl - (Randomized)
On Day 16 subjects received over-encapsulated midodrine HCl tablets (equivalent to their previously prescribed dose).
Placebo - (Randomized)
On Day 16 subjects received matching placebo.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 30 minutes post-dose on Day 16

Population: The Full Analysis Set was defined as all randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose of double-blind investigational product.

Failure to maintain a response was defined as any randomized subject that met both criterion 1 and criterion 2 below on Day 16: 1. The Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment (OHSA) Item 1 score increased by \>=4 points compared to baseline. OHSA Item 1 is a dizziness scale that is scored on a range from 0 (no dizziness) to 10 (severe dizziness). A lower score indicates less severe symptoms. 2. There was an increase in the number of syncopal/near syncopal events or severity of events within 15 minutes of standing compared to those observed at baseline. Syncope was defined as a loss of consciousness, and near syncope was defined as a feeling (e.g., dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling faint, feeling as though one would black out) that, without intervention, would lead to a loss of consciousness.
