To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of gabapentin enacarbil (GEn) 1200 mg or 600 mg compared with placebo in subjects with moderate-to-severe primary restless legs syndrome (RLS).
This 12-week, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study randomized subjects (1:1:1) to GEn 1200 mg, 600 mg, or placebo. Co-primary endpoints: mean change from baseline in International Restless Legs Scale (IRLS) total score and proportion of responders (rated as "very much" or "much" improved) on the investigator-rated Clinical Global Impression-Improvement scale (CGI-I) at Week 12 LOCF for GEn 1200 mg compared with placebo. Secondary endpoints included GEn 600 mg compared with placebo on the IRLS and CGI-I at Week 12 LOCF and subjective measures for sleep. Safety and tolerability assessments included adverse events.
325 subjects were randomized (GEn 1200 mg = 113; 600 mg = 115; placebo = 97). GEn 1200 mg significantly improved mean [SD] IRLS total score at Week 12 LOCF (baseline: 23.2 [5.32]; Week 12: 10.2 [8.03]) compared with placebo (baseline: 23.8 [4.58]; Week 12: 14.0 [7.87]; adjusted mean treatment difference [AMTD]: -3.5; p = 0.0015), and significantly more GEn 1200 mg-treated (77.5%) than placebo-treated (44.8%) subjects were CGI-I responders (p < 0.0001). Similar significant results were observed with GEn 600 mg for IRLS (AMTD: -4.3; p < 0.0001) and CGI-I (72.8% compared with 44.8%; p < 0.0001). GEn also significantly improved sleep outcomes (Post-Sleep Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Diary and Medical Outcomes Sleep Scale) compared with placebo. The most commonly reported adverse events were somnolence (GEn 1200 mg = 18.0%; 600 mg = 21.7%; placebo = 2.1%) and dizziness (GEn 1200 mg = 24.3%; 600 mg = 10.4%; placebo = 5.2%). Dizziness increased with increased dose and led to discontinuation in 2 subjects (GEn 1200 mg, n = 1; GEn 600 mg, n = 1). Somnolence led to discontinuation in 3 subjects (GEn 600 mg).
GEn 1200 mg and 600 mg significantly improve RLS symptoms and sleep disturbance compared with placebo and are generally well tolerated.
评估加巴喷丁恩卡比(GEn)1200mg 或 600mg 与安慰剂相比在中重度原发性不安腿综合征(RLS)患者中的疗效和耐受性。
这是一项为期 12 周、多中心、双盲、安慰剂对照的研究,将受试者(1:1:1)随机分配至 GEn 1200mg、600mg 或安慰剂组。主要终点:与安慰剂相比,GEn 1200mg 治疗组在第 12 周 LOCF 时的国际不安腿综合征量表(IRLS)总分的平均变化和研究者评定的临床总体印象-改善量表(CGI-I)的应答者比例(评为“非常”或“明显”改善)。次要终点包括 GEn 600mg 与安慰剂在第 12 周 LOCF 时的 IRLS 和 CGI-I 以及睡眠的主观测量。安全性和耐受性评估包括不良事件。
325 名受试者被随机分配(GEn 1200mg = 113;600mg = 115;安慰剂 = 97)。与安慰剂相比,GEn 1200mg 显著改善了第 12 周 LOCF 时的 IRLS 总分(基线:23.2[5.32];第 12 周:10.2[8.03])(调整后的平均治疗差异 [AMTD]:-3.5;p = 0.0015),并且 GEn 1200mg 治疗的受试者(77.5%)明显多于安慰剂治疗的受试者(44.8%)对 CGI-I 有应答(p < 0.0001)。GEn 600mg 在 IRLS(AMTD:-4.3;p < 0.0001)和 CGI-I(72.8%与 44.8%;p < 0.0001)方面也观察到了类似的显著结果。GEn 还显著改善了睡眠结局(睡眠后问卷、匹兹堡睡眠日记和医疗结局睡眠量表)与安慰剂相比。最常见的不良事件是嗜睡(GEn 1200mg = 18.0%;600mg = 21.7%;安慰剂 = 2.1%)和头晕(GEn 1200mg = 24.3%;600mg = 10.4%;安慰剂 = 5.2%)。头晕随剂量增加而增加,导致 2 名受试者停药(GEn 1200mg,n = 1;GEn 600mg,n = 1)。3 名受试者因嗜睡而停药(GEn 600mg)。
与安慰剂相比,GEn 1200mg 和 600mg 可显著改善 RLS 症状和睡眠障碍,且通常具有良好的耐受性。
