Teriflunomide Efficacy and Safety in Patients with Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis: Results from TOWER, a Second, Pivotal, Phase 3 Placebo-Controlled Study
MS and Related Diseases
S01 - (-)
004
Teriflunomide is a novel, once-daily, oral, disease-modifying therapy recently approved in the US for treatment of RMS. In the TEMSO study (NCT00134563), teriflunomide 14mg reduced the annualized relapse rate (ARR) by 31.5% (p<0.001 vs placebo) and risk of sustained disability progression (confirmed for at least 12 weeks) by 29.8% (p=0.028 vs placebo). Teriflunomide 7mg reduced ARR by 31.2% (p<0.001 vs placebo), without a statistically significant effect on disability progression. Teriflunomide was generally well tolerated with a well-characterized safety profile.
In TOWER, a double-blind, parallel-group study, 1169 patients with RMS (18-55 years old, Expanded Disability Status Scale score ?5.5 at screening, and ?1 or ?2 relapses in the 12 or 24 months prior to randomization, respectively) were randomized to once-daily placebo, teriflunomide 7mg or 14mg. TOWER had variable treatment duration; the study ended when the last patient randomized completed 48 weeks of treatment. The primary and key secondary endpoints were ARR and 12-week disability progression, respectively. Safety analyses included treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE), laboratory evaluations, and vital signs.
Teriflunomide 14mg significantly reduced ARR by 36.3% (p<0.001) and 12-week disability progression by 31.5% (p=0.044), compared with placebo. A significant reduction in ARR (22.3%; p=0.018) was observed with teriflunomide 7mg, with no significant effect on 12-week disability progression. Commonly reported TEAEs included headache, alanine aminotransferase elevations, hair thinning, diarrhea, and nausea. There were 4 deaths (placebo: respiratory infection; teriflunomide: motor vehicle accident, suicide, sepsis).
Teriflunomide 14mg significantly reduced ARR and 12-week disability progression compared with placebo; 7mg significantly reduced ARR. Teriflunomide has a well-characterized safety profile. These results confirm those of TEMSO and support teriflunomide as a treatment option for patients with RMS.
