Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Efficacy

To prove better efficacy of Pregabalin in SCI patients with predominant phasic (dynamic) component of spastic motor behaviour compared to Baclofen.

Secondary objectives 2

  1. To prove better efficacy of Baclofen in SCI patients with predominant tonic (static) component of spastic motor behaviour compared to Pregabalin
  2. To confirm that optimization of spastic motor behaviour treatment according to its predominant tonic or phasic component has a positive effect on ADL, functioning and quality of life after SCI

Conditions and MedDRA coding

Complete to incomplete (AIS A-C) sub-acute cervical or thoracic (NLI C4-T10) spinal cord injury (SCI) with severe spastic motor behaviour

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 8

  1. Sub-acute (2-40 days after the injury) cervical or thoracic (NLI C4-T10) spinal cord lesion (SCI), complete or incomplete (AIS A-C), with severe spastic motor behaviour (static or dynamic)
  2. Age: 18-75 years old
  3. MAS or MES 3 or higher during at least 3 days from 5
  4. Ability and will to cooperate in the study
  5. Written informed consent. If the patient is only able to consent orally a witness signs and confirms the patient’s consent.
  6. Absence of serious comorbidities influencing spastic motor behaviour (serious infection, recent surgery…)
  7. Hemodynamic and clinical stability
  8. Males and Females of childbearing potential willing to use highly effective method of contraception (hormonal contraception, intrauterine device or sexual abstinence) during the treatment period and for at least one month after the last dose of study drug.

Exclusion criteria 7

  1. History of hypersensitivity to IMP (Pregabalin and/or Baclofen)
  2. Neuropathic pain stronger than VAS 5
  3. Previous medication for spastic motor behaviour or neuropathic pain or epilepsy (pregabalin, neurontin, baclofen, rivotril, sirdalud...)
  4. Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  5. Renal dysfunction (creatinine level over 120 umol/l, urea level over 10 mmol/l)
  6. Liver dysfunction (liver enzymes over 2,5 ukat/l)
  7. BMI ˃ 35kg/m2

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Per-patient average of MES scores across the 30 days treatment.

Secondary endpoints 6

  1. Per-patient average of MAS scores across the 30 days treatment
  2. Proportion of days when MES score is 3 or higher.
  3. Proportion of days when MAS score is 3 or higher.
  4. ADL evaluated by SCI-SET (relevant questions).
  5. Functioning assessed by the Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM-III).
  6. Quality of life evaluated by WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire.
