A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, 2-way Crossover Trial to Evaluate the Effect of Nabiximols Oromucosal Spray on Clinical Measures of Spasticity in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis

This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of multiple doses of nabiximols compared with placebo on a clinical measure of velocity-dependent muscle tone in the lower limbs (Lower Limb Muscle Tone-6 \[LLMT-6\]) in participants with multiple sclerosis (MS). LLMT-6 is defined as the average of the 6 individual Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS)-transformed scores of knee flexors, knee extensors, and plantar flexors on both sides of the body.

Sponsor: Jazz Pharmaceuticals
Design: RANDOMIZED · CROSSOVER · TREATMENT
Locations: 30
Results record: Present in registry snapshot

Each period of this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-treatment, 2-period, crossover trial includes a 7-day Baseline period, a 3-week treatment period (comprising a 2-week titration phase and a 1-week maintenance phase). Eligible participants will enter the 7-day baseline period of each treatment period. During baseline, participants will maintain their optimized oral MS antispasticity medication regimen and record their 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) spasticity score and spasm count using an electronic daily diary. On Day 1, eligible participants will be randomized to 1 of 2 treatment sequences, each composed of 2 treatment periods, with administration of multiple doses of nabiximols or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. Participants will be advised to titrate the investigational medicinal product (IMP), beginning with 1 spray/day, to an optimized dose or to a maximum of 12 sprays/day over the first 14 days of treatment. Participants should continue at the same dose level achieved at the end of the titration phase ±1 spray divided into a morning dose and an evening dose for the remainder of the treatment period. Lower limb muscle tone, health-related quality of life, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics will be evaluated during the treatment period. Participants who complete the trial will participate for a total of approximately 11 weeks (77 days), including the 7-day baseline period.

PRIMARYChange From Baseline in Lower Limb Muscle Tone-6 (LLMT-6)

Time frame: Baseline (predose Day 1 of Treatment Period 1) up to Day 51 (end of treatment of Treatment Period 2)
Measure: LEAST_SQUARES_MEAN · units on a scale
Reporting status: POSTED

LLMT-6 is defined as the average of the 6 individual Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) transformed scores of knee flexors, knee extensors, and plantar flexors on both sides of the body. Transformed MAS ranges from 0 (no increase in muscle tone) to 5 (affected part rigid in flexion or extension). The combined (treatment period 1 and treatment period 2) least square mean change from baseline in LLMT-6 score is being reported. Negative values indicate an improvement in muscle tone.

Population: LLMT-6 was assessed in the Full Analysis Set.

Inclusion criteria

Screening (Visit 1)
Willing and able to give informed consent for participation in the trial
Willing and able (in the investigator's opinion) to comply with all trial requirements
Has had a diagnosis with any disease subtype of multiple sclerosis (MS), by revised 2017 McDonald criteria, for at least 12 months prior to Visit 1 (Screening) and is expected to remain stable for the duration of the trial
Has an Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) untransformed score of at least 2 in 2 or more of 6 muscle groups (right knee flexors, left knee flexors, right knee extensors, left knee extensors, right plantar flexors, or left plantar flexors) at Visit 1 (Screening)
