Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Fingolimod 0.5 mg Orally Once Daily Versus Placebo in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy Patients. (NCT NCT01625182)

NCT ID: NCT01625182

Last Updated: 2017-10-30

Results Overview

Confirmed worsening in CIDP was measured by the adjusted INCAT Disability Scale. The adjusted INCAT disability scale measures arm disability and leg disability. For arm disability the scale ranges from 0 (no upper limb problems) to 5 (inability to use either arm for any purposeful movement). The leg disability scale ranges from 0 (walking not affected) to 5 (restricted to wheelchair, unable to stand and walk a few steps with help). The total adjusted INCAT disability score is calculated by the sum of the arm and leg disability scores where the total score ranges from 0 to 10. A confirmed worsening was defined as an increase by 1 or more points on the adjusted INCAT disability scale from the value at baseline.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, Month 6, Month 12

Population: Only participants from the FAS, who had non-missing baseline values and the given post-baseline values, were included in the analysis. The FAS included all participants who were assigned randomly to receive treatment.

Grip strength measurements were done using a vigorimeter. With this device, the pressure in the bulb exercised by the participant was registered on a manometer via a rubber junction tube. Both the dominant and non-dominant hands were tested. A negative change from baseline indicates deterioration.

Population: Only participants from the FAS, who had non-missing baseline values and the given post-baseline values, were included in the analysis. The FAS included all participants who were assigned randomly to receive treatment.

This questionnaire was constructed using the patients' perception of their ability to perform daily and social activities. The questionnaire comprises 24 items ranging from ability to read a book or newspaper (as the easiest item to accomplish) to ability to run (most difficult item to accomplish). The obtained raw summed score was translated subsequently to a convenient centile metric score ranging from 0 (most severe disability) to 100 (no disability at all). A higher score indicated a better health status. A negative change from baseline indicates deterioration.
