Study to Evaluate SAGE-547 Injection as Adjunctive Therapy for the Treatment of Super-Refractory Status Epilepticus

Phase 2CompletedNCT02052739

Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.25 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SAGE-547 in participants in super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE).

This is an open-label study consisting of a screening period (1 day), 4-day treatment period (96 hours) followed by a 1-day dose taper period (24 hours), a 2-day acute follow-up period, and a 3 week extended follow-up period. On Day 1 of treatment SRSE participants under seizure suppression or burst-suppression with a continuous intravenous (IV) anti-epileptic drug (AED) (third-line agent) were given a 1-hour IV loading infusion of SAGE-547 followed by a maintenance infusion. After 48 hours of SAGE-547 treatment, the continuous IV AED (third-line agent) was weaned while continuing SAGE-547 at the maintenance infusion for the remainder of the treatment period. After 96 hours (4 days) of therapy with SAGE-547, the dose was to be tapered and discontinued over 24 hours. The participants would have routine continuous electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring during the screening period, and continuing until 48 hours after SAGE-547 treatment had completed. Participants would then have follow-up examinations weekly for the next 3 weeks (Days 8, 15, 22, and 29), during which safety and functional assessments would be obtained. Apart from treatment with SAGE-547, all participants would receive the standard of care for adults in SRSE along with ongoing treatment for all underlying medical conditions.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants 2 years of age and older. * Participants with an EEG-confirmed SRSE diagnosis under concomitant therapy with a continuous IV AED (third-line agent) for ≥ 24 hours. For this study, SRSE is defined by the following criteria and in accordance with those used at major epilepsy treatment centers: * Failure to respond to the administration of at least one first-line agent (e.g., benzodiazepine or other emergent initial AED treatment), according to institution standard of care, and * Failure to respond to at least one second-line agent (e.g., phenytoin, fosphenytoin, valproate, phenobarbital, levetiracetam or other urgent control AED) according to institution standard of care, and * Presence of one or more breakthrough seizures \> 6 hours after initiation of the continuous IV AED/third-line agent (e.g., pentobarbital, midazolam, propofol). Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with SRSE due to anoxic/hypoxic encephalopathy, children (participants aged less than 18 years) with an encephalopathy due to an underlying progressive neurological disorder. * Participants with clinically significant electrocardiogram abnormalities. * Participants with a significant medical or surgical condition that may compromise vital organ systems, or other conditions that would place the participants at increased risk such as dialysis or acute respiratory distress syndrome, severe cardiogenic or vasodilatory shock requiring 2 or more pressors, fulminant hepatic failure, etc. * Participants who are receiving a continuous IV AED (third-line agent) for seizure suppression or burst-suppression that would require greater than 24 hours to wean.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g., a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. TEAEs are defined as those that begin on or after initiation of the infusion of SAGE-547.

Time frame: Up to Day 29

Change From Baseline (CFB) in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIH-SS) Total Score

The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIH-SS) was used to examine the physical and neurological state of the participants. The NIH-SS is a 15-item assessment with measures of level of consciousness, visual gaze and vision loss, facial palsy, motor ability, ataxia, sensory ability, aphasia, dysarthria, and inattention. The total NIHSS score range is from 0 (normal) to 42 (severe impairment), with higher values indicating greater level of neurological impairment.

Change From Baseline in Modified Rankin Scale (mRS-9Q) Scores

The mRS-9Q is a commonly used scale to determine disability and functional dependence due to neurological insult such as a stroke. It is a shortened version consisting of 9 questions. The score was categorized on the scale of 0 to 5 (0 = No symptoms, 1 = No significant disability, able to carry out all usual activities, despite some symptoms, 2 = Slight disability, able to look after own affairs without assistance, but unable to carry out all previous activities, 3 = Moderate disability, requires some help, but able to walk unassisted, 4 = Moderately severe disability, unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance or unable to walk unassisted, and 5 = Severe disability, requires constant nursing care and attention, bedridden). Higher scores indicated worsening of symptoms.

Time frame: Baseline (Screening) to Infusion at 49-72 hour, 73-96 hour; Extended follow-up at Day 8, 15, 22 and 29

Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression: Severity Scale (CGI-S)

The CGI-Severity (CGI-S) scale employs a 7-point Likert scale to assess the severity of participant's current illness state. Clinician responded to a question "Considering your total clinical experience with this particular population, how mentally ill is your patient at this time?" on the following scores: 1 = Normal, not at all ill, 2 = Borderline ill, 3 = Mildly ill, 4 = Moderately ill, 5 = Markedly ill, 6 = Severely ill, and 7 = Among the most extremely ill, where higher score = more affected.

Time frame: Baseline (Screening), Extended follow-up at Days 8, 15, 22, and 29

Clinical Global Impression: Improvement Scale (CGI-I) Scores

The CGI-I response was defined as having a score of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved). CGI-I item employs a 7-point Likert scale to measure the overall improvement in the participant's condition post-treatment. The investigator rated the participant's total improvement whether or not it was due entirely to drug treatment. Response choices included: 0 = not assessed, 1 = very much improved, 2 = much improved, 3 = minimally improved, 4 = no change, 5 = minimally worse, 6 = much worse, and 7 = very much worse; where higher scores indicated worst outcomes. The CGI-I was only rated at post-treatment assessments. By definition, all CGI-I assessments were evaluated against baseline conditions.

Time frame: Infusion at 0-24, 25-48, 49-72, 73-96, 97-120 hours; Acute follow-up at 121-144, 145-168 hours; Extended follow-up at Days 8, 15, 22 and 29

Change From Baseline in Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) Scores

The Glasgow Coma Scale is divided into three components which are scored separately: ocular response (assessment 1-4 points), motor response (assessment 1-6 points), verbal response (evaluation of 1-5 points). Scores for each component are added together to get the total score that will range between a minimum of 3 points (which corresponds to a participant who does not open his/her eyes and no motor response to stimulation or verbal response) and a maximum value of 15 points (corresponding to a participant with open eyes, obeying orders and maintaining a consistent language). It has been considered that the GCS score between 15 and 13 points corresponds to a slight alteration of consciousness, a score of 12-9 points with moderate impairment and 8 points or less with a serious deterioration in level of consciousness.

Time frame: Baseline (Screening) to infusion at 0-24, 25-48, 49-72, 73-96, 97-120 hours; Acute follow-up at 121-144, 145-168 hours; Extended follow-up at Days 8, 15, 22 and 29

Change From Baseline in Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS) Score

The RASS was an assessment of agitation and sedation in hospitalized participants, using a 10 point scale (ranged from -5 to +4), where, -5 = Unarousable, -4 = Deep sedation, -3 = Moderate sedation, -2 = Light sedation, -1 = Drowsy, 0 = Alert and calm, +1 = Restless, +2 = Agitated, +3 = Very agitated and +4 = Combative. Lower scores signify higher levels of sedation and higher scores signify heightened agitation. Participant in a calm and alert state would score a 0.

Time frame: Baseline (Screening) to Infusion at 0-24, 25-48, 49-72, 73-96, 97-120 hours; Acute follow-up at 121-144, 145-168 hours; Extended follow-up at Days 8, 15, 22 and 29
