Trial Outcomes & Findings for MRI Trial to exPlore the efficAcy and Safety of IMU-838 in Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (EMPhASIS) (NCT NCT03846219)

NCT ID: NCT03846219

Last Updated: 2024-04-24

Results Overview

MRI scans were assessed centrally and adhered to a standardized MRI protocol. Estimates were adjusted for baseline volume of T2 lesions, MRI field strength (1.5 or 3.0 Tesla), and baseline number of gadolinium enhancing (Gd+) lesions (0, ≥1) using a generalized linear model with a negative binomial distribution and a logarithmic link function. Log transformation of time from first IMP dose to date of last MRI assessment was used as offset term. Mainly due to the differing number of patients with 3.0 Tesla MRI examinations in each treatment arm, the statistical adjustments (to ensure comparabiltiy) for each individual comparison differed and hence the adjusted mean cumulative number of CUA MRI lesions in each arm (e.g. placebo) differed depending on the comparison (45 mg IMU-838 vs placebo, 30 mg IMU-838 vs placebo, or 45 mg vs 30 mg IMU-838).

Participant Flow

The trial consists of a main trial (Cohort 1) and a sub-trial (Cohort 2): Cohort 1 compares 30 mg IMU-838, 45 mg IMU-838 and placebo and assesses the primary and key secondary endpoints; Cohort 2 compares 10 mg/day IMU-838 with placebo. The main trial consists of a blinded 24-week main treatment period and an optional initially blinded, then open-label extended treatment period of up to 9.5 years (currently ongoing). Results of the Cohort 1 main treatment period are reported.

Patients were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to once-daily oral treatment with 30 mg IMU-838, 45 mg IMU-838, or matching placebo for 24 weeks. At Week 24 (end-of-main treatment period), patients had the option to continue into the extended treatment period if they met respective eligibility criteria including an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to Week 24

Population: FAS consisting of all randomized patients who received at least 1 dose of the investigational medicinal product (IMP).

MRI scans were assessed centrally and adhered to a standardized MRI protocol. Estimates were adjusted for baseline volume of T2 lesions, MRI field strength (1.5 or 3.0 Tesla), and baseline number of gadolinium enhancing (Gd+) lesions (0, ≥1) using a generalized linear model with a negative binomial distribution and a logarithmic link function. Log transformation of time from first IMP dose to date of last MRI assessment was used as offset term. Mainly due to the differing number of patients with 3.0 Tesla MRI examinations in each treatment arm, the statistical adjustments (to ensure comparabiltiy) for each individual comparison differed and hence the adjusted mean cumulative number of CUA MRI lesions in each arm (e.g. placebo) differed depending on the comparison (45 mg IMU-838 vs placebo, 30 mg IMU-838 vs placebo, or 45 mg vs 30 mg IMU-838).

Timeframe: Throughout the main treatment period (Day 0 - Week 24)

Population: This measure was not analyzed because it was determined to be redundant with Outcome Measure 7. No data are available to be reported.

The endpoint was removed in the statistical analysis plan \[SAP\], since the content was considered the same as the endpoint "T2-lesion load at Weeks 6, 12, 18 and 24 compared to Baseline".

The adjusted mean annualized relapse rate during the main treatment period was calculated. Estimates were adjusted for baseline number of Gd+ lesions (0, ≥1) using a Poisson model with a logarithmic link function. Log transformation of real exposure time of main treatment period was used as offset term. All of the following criteria had to be met for a clinical event to qualify as a relapse: 1. Neurological deficit, either newly appearing or re-appearing, with abnormality specified by both neurological abnormality separated by at least 30 days from onset of a preceding relapse AND neurological abnormality lasting for at least 24 hours 2. Absence of fever or known infection (i.e. temperature \[axillary, oral, or intra-auricular\] ≤37.5ºC) 3. Neurological impairment, defined as either increase in at least one of the functional systems of the EDSS OR increase of the total EDSS score. In both cases, the increase in EDSS had to correlate with the patient's reported symptoms.

The EDSS is a widely used and validated instrument evaluating the functional systems of the CNS to describe disease progression and the efficacy of MS therapy. The composite rating system ranges from 0 (normal neurological status) to 10 (death due to MS) in 0.5-unit increments. An increase in score indicates a worsening.

The number of patients diagnosed with red blood cell (RBC) urine positive of at least moderate intensity during the main treatment period were assessed. The evaluation of RBC in urine was to be solely based on findings from microscopic examinations of urinary sediment and not from dipstick reading only. Therefore, all conspicuous dipstick readings were to be followed up by a microscopic examination of urinary sediment. All findings of RBC in urine per high-powered field (HPF) were to be listed as urinalysis abnormalities but not as an AE, if assessed by the investigator as not clinically significant. The investigator was also to assess any increased RBC in urine as not clinically significant, if there were more likely alternatives to explain this finding.

The 12-lead ECG was recorded in supine position after at least 5 minutes at rest using the local standard ECG machine. The ECG was analyzed qualitatively (normal or abnormal, if abnormal clinically significant \[yes/no\]). The heart rate, PQ-, QRS-, and QT intervals, as well as the heart rate-corrected QTc interval (according to Bazett's formula) were determined. All procedures were done according to local practice.

Population: Safety analysis set

The TSQM is a reliable and valid instrument to assess patients' satisfaction with medication comprising 14 items across 4 domains: side effects, performance, convenience and global satisfaction. All items have 5 to 7 possible answers, except for item 4 (2 answers). Item scores for each domain are summed and transformed to a scale from 0 (extremely dissatisfied) to 100 (extremely satisfied).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 6, Week 12, Week 18, and Week 24

Population: Full analysis set

This endpoint was added in statistical analysis plan Version 2.0. Results of the brain atrophy analysis included biologically implausible changes (including changes of more than 1% over 24 weeks) in all treatment groups. Hence, the brain volume changes were considered technically inadequate for any conclusions of a treatment effect of IMU-838 versus placebo.
