Trial Outcomes & Findings for Citocoline for Treatment in Fragile X-associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (NCT NCT02197104)

NCT ID: NCT02197104

Last Updated: 2022-11-02

Results Overview

The FXTAS Rating Scale (FXTAS-RS), which was designed to measure the severity of motor signs in FXTAS patients, was administered to each participant. The FXTAS-RS was designed to measure the severity of motor signs of FXTAS, tremor, ataxia, and parkinsonism. The scale was developed from a combination of three separate measures: the Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor (CRST), the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS), and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). The resultant scale has 44 items and a possible total score of 0-226. A higher score indicates worse symptoms. For this study, improvement was defined as a 20% improvement on the FXTAS-RS.

Measure
Citocoline
All participants received 1,000mg once daily of citicoline. Each subject will stay on the study drug for 12 months. The outcome measures will be assessed at baseline and then again at the end of month 3, month 6, and month 12. The subjects will continue taking the same study drug at the same dose throughout the entire trial.

Measure
Citocoline
n=10 Participants
All participants were white and non-Hispanic; there were nine men and one woman. This distribution is expected as there is a lower penetrance of FXTAS in women from X-inactivation. The subject with probable FXTAS was also the female subject. Nine participants completed the one-year follow-up and one participant with a low platelet count withdrew prior to the end of the study and outcome data was missing for this participant at 12 months, but all available data were used for analysis.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Population: 9 patients with FXTAS who participated in the study for 12 months were analyzed.

The FXTAS Rating Scale (FXTAS-RS), which was designed to measure the severity of motor signs in FXTAS patients, was administered to each participant. The FXTAS-RS was designed to measure the severity of motor signs of FXTAS, tremor, ataxia, and parkinsonism. The scale was developed from a combination of three separate measures: the Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor (CRST), the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS), and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). The resultant scale has 44 items and a possible total score of 0-226. A higher score indicates worse symptoms. For this study, improvement was defined as a 20% improvement on the FXTAS-RS.
