Abstract

Background: Diroximel fumarate (DRF) is a novel oral fumarate approved in the USA for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. DRF is converted to monomethyl fumarate, the pharmacologically active metabolite of dimethyl fumarate (DMF). DRF 462 mg and DMF 240 mg produce bioequivalent exposure of monomethyl fumarate and are therefore expected to have similar efficacy/safety profiles; the distinct chemical structure of DRF may contribute to its tolerability profile.Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare the gastrointestinal tolerability of DRF and DMF over 5 weeks in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.Methods: EVOLVE-MS-2 was a phase III, randomized, double-blind, head-to-head, 5-week study evaluating the gastrointestinal tolerability of DRF 462 mg vs DMF 240 mg, administered twice daily in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, using two self-administered gastrointestinal symptom scales: Individual Gastrointestinal Symptom and Impact Scale (IGISIS) and Global Gastrointestinal Symptom and Impact Scale (GGISIS). The primary endpoint was the number of days with an IGISIS intensity score ≥ 2 relative to exposure. Other endpoints included the degree of gastrointestinal symptom severity measured by IGISIS/GGISIS and assessment of safety/tolerability.Results: DRF-treated patients experienced a statistically significant reduction (46%) in the number of days with an IGISIS symptom intensity score ≥ 2 compared with DMF-treated patients (rate ratio [95% confidence interval]: 0.54 [0.39-0.75]; p = 0.0003). Lower rates of gastrointestinal adverse events (including diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain) were observed with DRF than DMF (34.8% vs 49.0%). Fewer patients discontinued DRF than DMF because of adverse events (1.6% vs 5.6%) and gastrointestinal adverse events (0.8% vs 4.8%).Conclusions: DRF demonstrated an improved gastrointestinal tolerability profile compared with DMF, with less severe gastrointestinal events and fewer days of self-assessed gastrointestinal symptoms, fewer gastrointestinal adverse events, and lower discontinuation rates because of gastrointestinal adverse events.Clinical Trials Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03093324).

Abstract

The work shows the principle of generalized linear model, point estimation, which can be used as a basis for determining the status of movements and deformations of engineering objects. The structural model can be put on any boundary conditions, for example, to ensure the continuity of the deformations. Estimation by the method of least squares was carried out taking into account the terms and conditions of the Gauss- Markov for quadratic forms stored using Lagrange function. The original solution is removal of the generalized inverse of block matrix according to the designs of the fourth degree. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Adherence to therapy in multiple sclerosis (MS) leads to improved clinical outcomes. Persistence to therapy and discontinuation rates contribute to adherence. Diroximel fumarate (DRF) is a novel oral fumarate recently approved in the United States for relapsing forms of MS, administered as 2 capsules twice daily. Objectives: To compare adherence with DRF vs dimethyl fumarate (DMF) in EVOLVE-MS-2 and describe long-term adherence and efficacy outcomes with DRF in EVOLVEMS-1. Methods: Adherence was assessed in patients with relapsing- remitting MS who received DRF or DMF in the 5-week, randomized EVOLVE-MS-2 study (trial registration: NCT03093324) and in those who received DRF in the ongoing, 96-week, open-label EVOLVE-MS-1 study (NCT02634307). All EVOLVE-MS-2 patients received 2 capsules twice daily. Adherence was determined by pill count (number taken divided by the number prescribed x 100). In patients who discontinued treatment, adherence was based on duration of treatment and not the full study period. Efficacy outcomes were assessed in EVOLVE-MS-1. Results: In the completed EVOLVE-MS-2 study, mean adherence was high (DRF 97.1%, n = 252; DMF 97.0%, n = 251); 97.4% of patients were ≥80% adherent to therapy. Discontinuation rates were lower with DRF (3.2%) than DMF (7.2%), primarily due to differences in gastrointestinal tolerability. In EVOLVE-MS-1 as of November 30, 2018 (median [range] exposure, 84 [0-100] weeks; n = 888), mean adherence was 93.4% (n = 877); 92.0% of patients were ≥80% adherent. Overall, 16.3% of patients discontinued treatment. Median (range) exposure for patients with ≥80% vs <80% adherence was 84 (1-100) and 22 (0-97) weeks, respectively. In patients with ≥80% adherence, adjusted annualized relapse rate was 0.15 (95% CI 0.13-0.19), representing a 79.4% (95% CI 75.0-83.0; P < .0001) reduction from the 12 months before study entry. Mean (SD) change in Expanded Disability Status Scale score from baseline to week 96 in patients with ≥80% adherence was 0.07 (0.59; n = 310). The small sample size (n = 70 at baseline, n = 2 at week 96) of patients with <80% adherence limits the ability to draw conclusions on the correlation between adherence and efficacy outcomes. Conclusions: High adherence and low discontinuation rates demonstrate documented treatment adherence and persistence to DRF. Adherence rates with DRF and DMF in EVOLVE-MS-2 were sustained in DRF-treated patients from EVOLVE-MS-1 for up to 96 weeks, demonstrating little impact of a 2-capsules-twice-daily dosing regimen. DRF-treated patients in EVOLVE-MS-1 had improved effi- cacy outcomes from baseline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

International audience; Background: Ofatumumab, a subcutaneous anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, selectively depletes B cells. Teriflunomide, an oral inhibitor of pyrimidine synthesis, reduces T-cell and B-cell activation. The relative effects of these two drugs in patients with multiple sclerosis are not known.Methods: In two double-blind, double-dummy, phase 3 trials, we randomly assigned patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis to receive subcutaneous ofatumumab (20 mg every 4 weeks after 20-mg loading doses at days 1, 7, and 14) or oral teriflunomide (14 mg daily) for up to 30 months. The primary end point was the annualized relapse rate. Secondary end points included disability worsening confirmed at 3 months or 6 months, disability improvement confirmed at 6 months, the number of gadolinium-enhancing lesions per T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, the annualized rate of new or enlarging lesions on T2-weighted MRI, serum neurofilament light chain levels at month 3, and change in brain volume.Results: Overall, 946 patients were assigned to receive ofatumumab and 936 to receive teriflunomide; the median follow-up was 1.6 years. The annualized relapse rates in the ofatumumab and teriflunomide groups were 0.11 and 0.22, respectively, in trial 1 (difference, -0.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.16 to -0.06; P

Abstract

Summary Background No treatment has consistently shown efficacy in slowing disability progression in patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS). We assessed the effect of siponimod, a selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor 1,5 modulator, on disability progression in patients with SPMS. Methods This event-driven and exposure-driven, double-blind, phase 3 trial was done at 292 hospital clinics and specialised multiple sclerosis centres in 31 countries. Using interactive response technology to assign numbers linked to treatment arms, patients (age 18–60 years) with SPMS and an Expanded Disability Status Scale score of 3·0–6·5 were randomly assigned (2:1) to once daily oral siponimod 2 mg or placebo for up to 3 years or until the occurrence of a prespecified number of confirmed disability progression (CDP) events. The primary endpoint was time to 3-month CDP. Efficacy was assessed for the full analysis set (ie, all randomly assigned and treated patients); safety was assessed for the safety set. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01665144. Findings 1651 patients were randomly assigned between Feb 5, 2013, and June 2, 2015 (1105 to the siponimod group, and 546 to the placebo group). One patient did not sign the consent form, and five patients did not receive study drug, all of whom were in the siponimod group. 1645 patients were included in the analyses (1099 in the siponimod group and 546 in the placebo). At baseline, the mean time since first multiple sclerosis symptoms was 16·8 years (SD 8·3), and the mean time since conversion to SPMS was 3·8 years (SD 3·5); 1055 (64%) patients had not relapsed in the previous 2 years, and 918 (56%) of 1651 needed walking assistance. 903 (82%) patients receiving siponimod and 424 (78%) patients receiving placebo completed the study. 288 (26%) of 1096 patients receiving siponimod and 173 (32%) of 545 patients receiving placebo had 3-month CDP (hazard ratio 0·79, 95% CI 0·65–0·95; relative risk reduction 21%; p=0·013). Adverse events occurred in 975 (89%) of 1099 patients receiving siponimod versus 445 (82%) of 546 patients receiving placebo; serious adverse events were reported for 197 (18%) patients in the siponimod group versus 83 (15%) patients in the placebo group. Lymphopenia, increased liver transaminase concentration, bradycardia and bradyarrhythmia at treatment initiation, macular oedema, hypertension, varicella zoster reactivation, and convulsions occurred more frequently with siponimod than with placebo. Initial dose titration mitigated cardiac first-dose effects. Frequencies of infections, malignancies, and fatalities did not differ between groups. Interpretation Siponimod reduced the risk of disability progression with a safety profile similar to that of other S1P modulators and is likely to be a useful treatment for SPMS.

Abstract

Background: Diroximel fumarate (DRF) is approved for adults with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) in Europe and for relapsing forms of MS in the United States. DRF and dimethyl fumarate (DMF) yield bioequivalent exposure of the active metabolite monomethyl fumarate. Prior studies indicated fewer gastrointestinal (GI)-related adverse events (AEs) with DRF compared with DMF., Objective: To report final outcomes from EVOLVE-MS-1., Methods: EVOLVE-MS-1 was an open-label, 96-week, phase 3 study assessing DRF safety, tolerability, and efficacy in patients with RRMS. The primary endpoint was safety and tolerability; efficacy endpoints were exploratory., Results: Overall, 75.7% (800/1057) of patients completed the study; median exposure was 1.8 (range: 0.0-2.0) years. AEs occurred in 938 (88.7%) patients, mostly of mild (28.9%) or moderate (50.3%) severity. DRF was discontinued due to AEs in 85 (8.0%) patients, with < 2% discontinuing due to GI or flushing/flushing-related AEs. At Week 96, mean number of gadolinium-enhancing lesions was significantly reduced from baseline (72.7%; p < 0.0001); adjusted annualized relapse rate was 0.13 (95% confidence interval: 0.11-0.15)., Conclusion: DRF was generally well tolerated over 2 years, with few discontinuations due to AEs; radiological measures indicated decreased disease activity from baseline. These outcomes support DRF as a treatment option in patients with RRMS., Competing Interests: Declaration of Conflicting InterestsThe author(s) declared the following potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: BAS: research grant support from AbbVie, Biogen, Bristol Myers Squibb, Greenwich Biosciences, Novartis, and Sanofi and consulting and/or speaking fees from Alexion, Biogen, Bristol Myers Squibb, Cigna, Cycle, EMD Serono, Genentech, Horizon, Janssen, Novartis, Octave Bioscience, Roche, Sanofi, and TG Therapeutics.DLA: consulting fees from Albert Charitable Trust, Alexion Pharma, Biogen, Celgene, Frequency Therapeutics, Genentech, Med-Ex Learning, Merck, Novartis, Population Council, Receptos, Roche, and Sanofi-Aventis; grants from Biogen, Immunotec, and Novartis; and equity interest in NeuroRx.JD: advisory boards for Amicus, Biogen, Janssen, Medis, Merck, Novartis, Roche, Sanofi-Genzyme, and Teva; speaker bureaus for Biogen, Bayer, Hemofarm, Janssen, Medis, Medtronic, Merck, Novartis, Roche, Sanofi-Genzyme, Teva, and Zentiva; and research grant from Roche.MSF: research/educational grants from Sanofi-Genzyme; honoraria/consultation fees from Alexion/AstraZeneca, BMS (Celgene), EMD Serono, Hoffman La-Roche, Actelion/Janssen (J&J), Novartis, Quanterix, Sanofi-Genzyme, and Teva Canada Innovation; advisory boards/boards of directors for Alexion/AstraZeneca, Atara Biotherapeutics, Bayer Healthcare, Celestra Health, Hoffman La-Roche, Actelion/Janssen (J&J), EMD Serono/Merck Serono, Novartis, and Sanofi-Genzyme; and participated in speakers bureau for Sanofi-Genzyme and EMD Serono.RG: research support and speaker’s honoraria from Bayer-Schering, Biogen Idec, BMS, Chugai, Eisai, Genesis, Janssen, Merck Serono, Nikkiso Pharma, Novartis, Roche, Sanofi-Genzyme, Sandoz, and Teva; consulting honoraria from ZLB Behring, Baxter, Roche, and Talecris; and personal stock options in Bayer, Merck, and Roche.MG: consulting fees from Biogen, EMD Serono, Novartis, and Sanofi-Genzyme; research support from Alkermes; and speaker bureaus for Biogen, EMD Serono, Genentech-Roche, and Sanofi-Genzyme.EJ: advisory boards for Biogen and speaker fees from Biogen, Novartis, Roche, and Sanofi.CLG: consultant/advisory boards/speaker bureaus for Biogen, Bristol Myers Squibb, EMD Serono, Genentech, Janssen, Novartis, Sanofi-Genzyme, and TG Therapeutics.RTN: consultant for Abata Therapeutics, Banner Life Sciences, BeiGene, Biogen, Bristol Myers Squibb, Genentech, Genzyme, GW Therapeutics, Janssen, Horizon Therapeutics, Lundbeck, NervGen, and TG Therapeutics.DN: research support from and consultant/advisory boards/speaker bureaus for Adamas, Alkermes, Alexion, Bayer, Biogen, Celgene/BMS, EMD Serono, Janssen, Novartis, Roche-Genentech, and Sanofi-Genzyme.JO: research support from Biogen Idec, EMD Serono, and Roche and personal compensation for consulting/speaking from Biogen Idec, BMS, EMD Serono, Eli Lilly, Roche, Sanofi-Genzyme, and Novartis.MAHP: consultant/advisory boards/speaker bureaus for Biogen, Bristol Myers Squibb, EMD Serono, Genentech, Janssen, Novartis, Sanofi-Genzyme, and TG Therapeutics.KS: research support from Merck; advisory boards for Biogen, Celgene/BMS, Merck, Novartis, Roche, Sanofi, and TG Therapeutics.FTB: research support and travel grants, through his institution, from the German Science Fund (DFG), German Federal Ministry of Education and Science (BMBF), Bayer-Schering, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, Roche, Sanofi, and Teva and speaker fees from and advisory boards for Actelion, Alexion, Bayer, Biogen, CSL Behring, Fresenius, Horizon, Merck, Novartis, Roche, Sanofi-Genzyme, and Teva.AW: adviser fees from AbbVie and research support from AbbVie, Alkermes, and Biogen.TZ: personal compensation for consulting services and speaker honoraria from Bayer, Biogen Idec, Novartis, Sanofi, Synthon, and Teva and financial support for research activities from Bayer, Biogen Idec, Novartis, Sanofi-Aventis, and Teva.WC-B, HC, SL, MS, SLS, and TW: employees of and hold stock/stock options in Biogen.SW: consulting fees from and advisory boards for Biogen, Celgene, and EMD Serono; speaker bureaus for Biogen, Celgene, EMD Serono, Roche-Genentech, and Sanofi-Genzyme; and research support from Biogen, Celgene, EMD Serono, Novartis, Receptos, Roche-Genentech, Sanofi-Genzyme, and TG.
