Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Pharmacodynamic Activity of E2730 in Adult Participants With Photosensitive Epilepsy (NCT NCT03603639)

NCT ID: NCT03603639

Last Updated: 2022-05-04

Results Overview

Photosensitivity described the presentation of an epileptiform electroencephalogram (EEG) response PPR from exposure to intermittent photic stimulation (IPS). SPR was a standardized derived measure of the range of frequencies of IPS that elicits epileptiform EEG responses in a participant. The participants were exposed to 14 different frequencies ranging from 2 to 60 flashes per second. The range was then assigned a number, representing the number of frequency steps, ranging from 0 to 14 between the lowest to the highest frequencies of IPS that elicits epileptiform activity by EEG. The lower scores represented better outcomes. Day 1 as per assigned treatment sequence in Treatment Period 1, 2, or 3. Mean change from baseline in the SPR most sensitive eye condition was the average of SPR scores assessed post study drug administration (Day 1 of Treatment Period 1, 2, or 3).

Participant Flow

Participants took part in the study at 4 investigative sites in the United States from 27 July 2018 to 14 February 2019.

A total of 8 participants were screened, of which 2 were screen failures and 6 were randomized to receive study treatment. The study was terminated due to lack of photoparoxysmal response (PPR).

SPR was a standardized derived measure of the range of frequencies of IPS that elicits epileptiform EEG responses in a participant. The participants were exposed to 14 different frequencies ranging from 2 to 60 flashes per second. The range was then assigned a number, representing the number of frequency steps, ranging from 0 to 14 between the lowest to the highest frequencies of IPS that elicits epileptiform activity by EEG. The lower scores represented better outcomes. Day 1 as per assigned treatment sequence in Treatment Period 1, 2, or 3.

Population: The PD analysis set included randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had sufficient PD data to derive at least 1 PD parameter.

Time to onset of mean photosensitivity response in each of the 3 eye conditions (eye closure, eyes closed, and eyes open condition) was determined from mean change from baseline SPR data across participants. The onset of mean suppression was defined as the first time point at which the mean SPR across participants (not for each participant) was at least 3 units below the mean SPR at baseline. Photosensitivity response were essentially intermittent photic stimulation IPS assessments, is a form of visual stimulation, when the participants are flashed with light on their eyes intermittently at different hertz.

Population: The PD analysis set included randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had sufficient PD data to derive at least 1 PD parameter.

Duration of mean photosensitivity response in each of the 3 eye conditions (eye closure, eyes closed, and eyes open condition) was determined from mean change from baseline SPR data across participants. Duration of suppression was defined as the difference in hours between the onset of suppression and the end of suppression of photosensitivity across participants. The onset of mean suppression was defined as the first time point at which the mean SPR across participants (not for each participant) was at least 3 units below the mean SPR at baseline. The end of mean suppression was defined as the last time (second time) with two successive reductions in mean SPR of at least 3 units lower than the mean SPR at baseline. SPR was a standardized derived measure of range of frequencies of IPS that elicits epileptiform EEG responses in a participant. The range was then assigned a number, representing the number of frequency steps, ranging from 0 to 14. Lower scores represented better outcomes.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: First dose of study drug (Baseline) up to 28 days after last dose of study drug (Day 71)

Population: The safety analysis set included participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had at least 1 post-dose safety assessment.

TEAE was defined as an adverse event (AE) that emerged during treatment, having been absent at pretreatment (Baseline) or reemerged during treatment, having been present at pretreatment (Baseline) but stopped before treatment, or worsened in severity during treatment relative to the pretreatment state, when the AE is continuous. An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship.

Population: The PD analysis set included randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had sufficient PD data to derive at least 1 PD parameter.

Relationship between PK parameters of E2730 and PD parameters (onset, maximum change, and duration of impact on photosensitivity) were to be assessed using model-based approach. The PK-PD analysis dataset were to be used and included in examination of the relationship of PK of E2730 and change in PPR response (example, time of onset, maximum change, and duration of PPR; Bond and Lader data).

Model Based Relationship Between PK Parameters of E2730 and Onset, Maximum Change, and Duration of Impact on Photosensitivity
NA correlation coefficient
Relationship Between PK Parameters of E2730 and PD parameters (onset, maximum change, and duration of impact on photosensitivity) cannot be determined because no PPR and dose response was observed during assessment period. Hence, the PK-PD analysis was not conducted.
