About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Observational Study Evaluating Persistence on Treatment, Safety, Tolerability, and Effectiveness of Diroximel Fumarate in the Real-World Setting (EXPERIENCE-CA+IL Study)

The primary objective of the study is to characterize the persistence to therapy in participants with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS) treated with diroximel fumarate (DRF) in routine clinical practice. The secondary objectives of the study are to assess short-term persistence to treatment; to assess long-term persistence on treatment; to assess the effect of DRF on relapses; to assess the impact of DRF on cognition; to assess the impact of DRF on participant reported outcomes (PROs); to assess the impact of DRF on disability; to assess treatment satisfaction with DRF; to explore the real-world safety profile of DRF (i.e., gastrointestinal [GI] tolerability, lymphocyte dynamics, adverse events [AEs] leading to discontinuation, and serious adverse events [SAEs].

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants on Treatment with DRF

    Measured: Year 1

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. Percentage of Participants on Treatment with DRF

    Measured: Month 3

  2. Percentage of Participants on Treatment with DRF

    Measured: Year 2

  3. Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR) with DRF

    For ARR at 1 year, the total number of days on study will be defined as the number of days since date of first dose to 1 year (365 days) if participant stay on DRF treatment for longer than 1 year, or the date of first dose to the date of DRF discontinuation if participant die or withdraw from the study prior to 1 year. For ARR at 2 years, the total number of days on study is defined as the number of days since the date of first dose to the date of DRF discontinuation. The relapse rate will be calculated as the total number of relapses experienced divided by the total number of days on DRF treatment, and the ratio multiplied by 365.

    Measured: Year 1 and 2

  4. Percentage of Participants Relapsed

    Measured: Year 1 and 2

  5. Change in Cognitive Processing Speed Test (CPST) Score

    Change in CPST will be assessed using the Konectom application. Cognitive function will be evaluated based on elements of attention, psychomotor speed, visual processing and working memory. Cognitive function is assessed by having the participant pair abstract symbols with specific numbers using a key as a guide. Higher number of correct responses indicates better cognition

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1 and 2

  6. Change in Score for Each Domain of Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders (Neuro- QoL™) Questionnaire

    Neuro-QoL uses a T score which has a mean of 50 and SD of 10, based on the norming sample used. All Neuro-QOL banks and scales are scored such that a high score reflects more of what is being measured.

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1 and 2

  7. Change in Disability, as Measured by Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS)

    The EDSS measures disability status on a scale ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to multiple sclerosis [MS]), with higher scores indicating more disability. Scoring is based on measures of impairment in eight functional systems on examination by a neurologist.

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1 and 2

  8. Mean Change in Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM) Score

    TSQM Version 1.4 is comprised of 14 questions that provide scores on four scales: effectiveness (3 items), side effects (5 items), convenience (3 items) and global satisfaction (3 items). The scale scores are transformed and range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction.

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1 and 2

  9. Number of Participants with Gastrointestinal (GI) Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.

    Measured: Up to Month 32

  10. Number of Participants with AEs Leading to Treatment Discontinuation

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.

    Measured: Up to Month 32

  11. Number of Participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, in the view of the investigator, places the participant at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event), requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is a medically important event.

    Measured: Up to Month 32

  12. Number of Participants with Relevant Concomitant Medication Use

    The concomitant medication may include GI symptom medication, coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine, etc.

    Measured: Up to Month 32

  13. Number of Participants Categorized by the Types of Actions Taken Due to GI AEs

    The actions taken will include temporary dose reduction, temporary dose interruption, initiation of concomitant GI medication, taking DRF dose with food, permanent discontinuation, or other action.

    Measured: Up to Month 32

  14. Median Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) Over Time

    Measured: Baseline, Month 6, Year 1 and 2

  15. Percent Change from Baseline in Median ALC

    Measured: Baseline, Month 6, Year 1 and 2

  16. Number of Participants with Lymphopenia According to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI/CTCAE) Severity Grading

    Measured: Up to Month 32

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Relapsing Forms of MS, run by Biogen at 6 sites in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Sponsor Decision). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants on Treatment with DRF (time frame: Year 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 May 2023.
