Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Modified Stem Cells in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) (NCT NCT02416492)

NCT ID: NCT02416492

Last Updated: 2021-12-27

Results Overview

The FMMS motor component consists of the 33-item upper extremity subscale (UE-FMMS) and the 17-item lower extremity subscale (LE-FMMS). Items were scored on a 3-point ordinal scale: 0= cannot perform; 1= partial motion; 2= full motion Individual items were then summed to determine scores for the 2 subscale scores, as well as a motor total score (total of all item scores including the 2 subscales UE-FMMS and LE-FMMS). As a result, the UE-FMMS subscale score ranged from 0 to 66 and the LE-FMMS subscale score ranged from 0 to 34. The FMMS motor total score ranged from 0 (hemiplegia) to a maximum of 100 points (normal motor performance).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 weeks

Population: Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) Population: Included all randomized subjects who completed the surgery treatment procedure (61 subjects)

The FMMS motor component consists of the 33-item upper extremity subscale (UE-FMMS) and the 17-item lower extremity subscale (LE-FMMS). Items were scored on a 3-point ordinal scale: 0= cannot perform; 1= partial motion; 2= full motion Individual items were then summed to determine scores for the 2 subscale scores, as well as a motor total score (total of all item scores including the 2 subscales UE-FMMS and LE-FMMS). As a result, the UE-FMMS subscale score ranged from 0 to 66 and the LE-FMMS subscale score ranged from 0 to 34. The FMMS motor total score ranged from 0 (hemiplegia) to a maximum of 100 points (normal motor performance).

Timeframe: 24 weeks

Population: The Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) population included all randomized subjects who completed the surgery treatment procedure. Only subjects in the mITT population who have the value available for Change from Baseline in DRS at 24 weeks are included in this analysis.

DRS is an observer rated, 30-point ordinal scale that evaluates eight areas of functioning in four categories: 1. Consciousness (eye opening, verbal response, motor response) 2. Cognitive ability (feeding, toileting, grooming) 3. Dependence on others 4. Employability Each area of functioning was rated on a scale of 0 to either 3 or 5. The maximum score is 29 (extreme vegetative state) and the minimum score is 0 (person without disability).

Population: The Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) population included all randomized subjects who completed the surgery treatment procedure. Only subjects in the mITT population who have the value available for Change from Baseline in ARAT at 24 weeks are included in this analysis.

The ARAT total score is the sum of the scores from 19 tests spread across four subscales: grasp, grip, pinch, and gross movement. Each test is scored on an ordinal 4-point scale with 0= non movement, 1 = the movement task is partially performed, 2 = the movement task is completed but takes abnormally long, and 3 = the movement is performed normally. Summation of a 0-3 score in each item yields a total score between 0 and 57.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 weeks

Population: The Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) population included all randomized subjects who completed the surgery treatment procedure. Only subjects in the mITT population who have the value available for Change from Baseline in NeuroQOL T-scores at 24 weeks are included in this analysis.

Two NeuroQoL short form assessments were used (upper extremity function and lower extremity function); each has 8 items with 5 possible scores (e.g. 1= not at all, 2=a little bit, 3= somewhat, 4=quite a bit, 5=very much) or frequency ("never"to "always"); Raw scores are converted to T-scores based on a consistent metric (i.e., the T distribution) and data from the US general population. The theoretical range in scale for Upper extremity T-score and Lower extremity T-score are 12.8 to 53.8 and 16.5 to 58.6 respectively. When interpreting these T-scores, higher scores correspond to higher levels of functioning whereas lower scores correspond to lower levels of functioning.

Timeframe: 24 weeks

Population: Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) Population: Included all randomized subjects who completed the surgery treatment procedure

The proportions of SB623 treated subjects (pooling all SB623 doses) scoring either 7 (much better) or 6 (a little better, meaningful) on the Global Rating of Perceived Change (from Baseline) - Subject at Week 24 and on the Global Rating of Perceived Change (from Baseline) - Clinician at Week 24 was compared to the corresponding proportions of sham surgery control subjects using logistic regression models with adjustment for the baseline Fugl-Meyer Motor Scale score and the GOS-E score at screening as continuous covariates. The following 7-point Likert scale was used * Score 7 = Much better * Score 6 = A little better, meaningful * Score 5 = A little better, not meaningful * Score 4 = About the same * Score 3 = A little worse, not meaningful * Score 2 = A little worse, meaningful * Score 1 = Much worse
