Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effect of Aspirin Pretreatment or Slow Dose Titration on Flushing and Gastrointestinal Events in Healthy Volunteers Receiving Delayed-release Dimethyl Fumarate (NCT NCT01568112)

NCT ID: NCT01568112

Last Updated: 2016-06-13

Results Overview

Participant-reported flushing side effect events during the treatment period recorded on the eDiary as assessed by MFSS. MFSS questionnaire measures the side effects related to flushing following drug administration. Flushing means redness, warmth, tingling or itching of the skin. This questionnaire relates only to the period of time since the investigational drug was administered and was to be completed within 10 hours of taking the study drug (2 times/day). Each question is rated on a scale from 0 (no flushing side effects) to 10 (extreme flushing side effects).

The MGFSS measures the side effects related to flushing during the past 24 hours. Flushing means redness, warmth, tingling or itching of the skin. Each question is rated on a scale from 0 (no flushing side effects) to 10 (extreme flushing side effects). Day 1 data are not included in the analysis because MGFSS question refers to events reported in the 24 hours after the first dose on Day 1.

Population: Participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication and who had at least 1 diary entry of the relevant questionnaire data during the visit interval.

The MAGISS is a participant-reported questionnaire about side effects of the gastrointestinal system following drug administration, and is based on a 0- to 10-point scale, with 0 representing absence of symptoms and 10 representing the most severe symptoms. A participant was considered having overall GI side effect if he/she had a score of \>=1 for at least one of the GI side effects including nausea, diarrhea, upper abdominal pain, lower abdominal pain, vomiting, indigestion, constipation, bloating and flatulence.

Timeframe: Day 1 to Week 4

Population: Participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication and who had at least 1 diary entry of the relevant questionnaire data during the visit interval.

The MAGISS is a participant-reported questionnaire about side effects of the gastrointestinal system following drug administration, and is based on a 0- to 10-point scale, with 0 representing absence of symptoms and 10 representing the most severe symptoms. A participant was considered having overall GI side effect if he/she had a score of \>=1 for at least one of the GI side effects including nausea, diarrhea, upper abdominal pain, lower abdominal pain, vomiting, indigestion, constipation, bloating and flatulence.

AE: any untoward medical occurrence that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE: any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death; in the view of the Investigator, places the subject at immediate risk of death; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect; any other medically important event that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may jeopardize the subject or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes. An AE was considered treatment-emergent if it occurred after the start of study treatment or was present prior to the start of study treatment but subsequently worsened.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 5 to Week 8

Population: Participants in the safety population who have at least 1 diary entry of the relevant questionnaire data during the visit interval; n=number of participants with the given GI episode during the visit interval.

Duration is calculated as follows: \[(GI side effect) end date/time - (GI side effect) start date/time\]/3600. For GI side effects with no end date, the end date is imputed using the last diary date/time. For subjects with more than 1 GI episode during a visit interval, the average duration for the study visit interval is used. The average duration is calculated as the total duration of the GI side effect / the total number of GI side effects.
