Long-term safety and efficacy of daclizumab beta in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: 6-year results from the SELECTED open-label extension study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

SELECTED, an open-label extension study, evaluated daclizumab beta treatment for up to 6 years in participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis who completed the randomized SELECT/SELECTION studies. We report final results of SELECTED.

Methods

Eligible participants who completed 1-2 years of daclizumab beta treatment in SELECT/SELECTION received daclizumab beta 150 mg subcutaneously every 4 weeks for up to 6 years in SELECTED. Safety assessments were evaluated for the SELECTED treatment period; efficacy data were evaluated from first dose of daclizumab beta in SELECT/SELECTION.

Results

Ninety percent (410/455) of participants who completed treatment in SELECTION enrolled in SELECTED. Within SELECTED, 69% of participants received daclizumab beta for > 3 years, 39% for > 4 years, and 9% for > 5 years; 87% of participants experienced an adverse event and 26% a serious adverse event (excluding multiple sclerosis relapse). No deaths occurred. Overall, hepatic events were reported in 25% of participants; serious hepatic events in 2%. There were no confirmed cases of immune-mediated encephalitis. Based on weeks from the first daclizumab beta dose in SELECT/SELECTION, adjusted annualized relapse rate (95% confidence interval) for weeks 0-24 was 0.21 (0.16-0.29) and remained low on continued treatment. Overall incidence of 24-week confirmed disability progression was 17.4%. Mean numbers of new/newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions remained low; percentage change in whole brain volume decreased over time.

Conclusions

The effects of daclizumab beta on clinical and radiologic outcomes were sustained for up to ~ 8 years of treatment. No new safety concerns were identified in SELECTED.

Project description:BackgroundDaclizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody against CD25 that modulates interleukin 2 signaling. The SELECT TRILOGY of clinical studies (SELECT/SELECTION/SELECTED) evaluated the safety and efficacy of daclizumab in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). We report the long-term safety and efficacy of daclizumab 150 mg subcutaneous every 4 weeks in patients with RRMS in the SELECTED open-label extension study.MethodsAn interim intent-to-treat analysis of all enrolled patients was performed in January 2014 for this ongoing study.ResultsThe SELECTED study enrolled 90% of patients who completed SELECTION. In the safety and efficacy analysis (N = 410), median treatment time in SELECTED was 25 months (range, <1-45). Adverse events (AEs) were reported in 76% of patients, serious AEs (SAEs) excluding MS relapse in 16%, and treatment discontinuation due to AEs including multiple sclerosis (MS) relapse in 12%. AEs were primarily of mild to moderate severity, and common AEs (≥10%), excluding MS relapse, were nasopharyngitis (12%) and upper respiratory tract infection (12%). Most commonly reported SAEs (in ≥3 patients), excluding MS relapses, were increased serum hepatic enzymes, pneumonia, ulcerative colitis, and urinary tract infection (<1% each). Incidences of AE groups of interest include cutaneous events (28%), cutaneous SAEs (2%), gastrointestinal SAEs (2%), hepatic SAEs, (1%) and malignancies (1%). The incidence of AEs, SAEs, and treatment-related study discontinuations did not increase over time and no deaths were reported. The adjusted annualized relapse rate (95% confidence interval (CI)) analyzed at 6-month intervals was 0.15 (0.10-0.22) for weeks 97-120 and 0.15 (0.10-0.21) for weeks 121-144. In year 3, the adjusted mean (95% CI) number of new/newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions was 1.26 (0.93-1.72) and the mean (median) annualized change in brain volume was -0.32% (-0.34%).ConclusionsThe AE incidence did not increase with extension of therapy into year 3 in SELECTED; the safety profile was similar to that previously observed. The clinical efficacy of daclizumab was sustained over the 3 years comprising the SELECT TRILOGY, although potential selection bias cannot be excluded.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov NCT01051349; first registered January 15, 2010.

Project description:IntroductionFingolimod 0.5 mg is an orally active sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator approved for use in adults with relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS). The efficacy and safety profile of fingolimod has been well characterized in a large clinical development program. Here, we report the safety and tolerability of fingolimod in relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients from Latin America.MethodsA total of 162 patients with RRMS, predominantly from Latin American countries (138/162), were enrolled in this 16-week, single treatment arm, open-label, multi-center study. Unlike the phase III pivotal studies, this study permitted enrollment of patients with controlled diabetes, certain cardiac and pulmonary conditions, older age, and higher baseline Expanded Disability Status Scale. All patients were monitored clinically for a minimum of 6 hours after the first dose. Safety and tolerability assessments were based on adverse events, clinically notable laboratory abnormalities, vital signs, ophthalmic examinations, and electrocardiograms.ResultsOverall, the safety and tolerability profile was consistent with that reported previously in phase 3 studies and the FIRST study. Adverse events (AEs) were predominantly mild (n = 49, 35.5%) or moderate (n = 27, 19.6%). Three patients (2.2%) discontinued fingolimod due to AEs. Infections were reported in 33 patients (23.9%) and were predominantly mild in nature (n = 28, 20.3%). Increases in alanine aminotransferase enzymes of ≥3, ≥5 and ≥10 upper limit of normal were reported in five (3.7%), three (2.2%) and one (0.7%) patients, respectively. Hypertension cases (n = 3; 2.2%) did not result in treatment discontinuation and were controlled with antihypertensive therapy. Following first-dose administration, the majority of patients (90.6%) were discharged at 6 h. During the first-dose monitoring, 5 cases of bradycardia were reported; none required extended monitoring or treatment for symptomatic bradycardia.ConclusionThe first dose of fingolimod 0.5 mg was well tolerated in RRMS patients from Latin America. The overall safety profile was clinically manageable and consistent with previous fingolimod studies.FundingNovartis.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov #NCT01497262.

Project description:ObjectiveTo assess over 3 years of follow-up the effects of maintaining or switching to ocrelizumab (OCR) therapy on clinical and MRI outcomes and safety measures in the open-label extension (OLE) phase of the pooled OPERA: I/II studies in relapsing multiple sclerosis.MethodsAfter 2 years of double-blind, controlled treatment, patients continued OCR (600 mg infusions every 24 weeks) or switched from interferon (IFN)-β-1a (44 μg 3 times weekly) to OCR when entering the OLE phase (3 years). Adjusted annualized relapse rate, time to onset of 24-week confirmed disability progression (CDP)/improvement (CDP), brain MRI activity (gadolinium-enhanced and new/enlarging T2 lesions), and percentage brain volume change were analyzed.ResultsOf patients entering the OLE phase, 88.6% completed year 5. The cumulative proportion with 24-week CDP was lower in patients who initiated OCR earlier vs patients initially receiving IFN-β-1a (16.1% vs 21.3% at year 5; p = 0.014). Patients continuing OCR maintained and those switching from IFN-β-1a to OCR attained near complete and sustained suppression of new brain MRI lesion activity from years 3-5. Over the OLE phase, patients continuing OCR exhibited less whole brain volume loss from double-blind study baseline vs those switching from IFN-β-1a (-1.87% vs -2.15% at year 5; p < 0.01). Adverse events were consistent with past reports and no new safety signals emerged with prolonged treatment.ConclusionCompared with patients switching from IFN-β-1a, earlier and continuous OCR treatment up to 5 years provided sustained benefit on clinical and MRI measures of disease progression.Classification of evidenceThis study provides Class III evidence that earlier and continuous treatment with OCR provided sustained benefit on clinical and MRI outcomes of disease activity and progression compared with patients switching from IFN-β-1a. The study is rated Class III because of the initial treatment randomization disclosure that occurred after inclusion in OLE.Clinical trial identifiersNCT01247324/NCT01412333.
