What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline in Modified Neuropathy Impairment Score Plus 7 (mNIS+7) at Week 66
mNIS+7 composite score is a measure of neurologic impairment evaluating muscle weakness, sensation, reflexes, nerve conduction, and autonomic function. mNIS+7 consists of 2 composite scores: the NIS composite score (maximum of 244 points) \& the modified +7 composite score (maximum of 102.32 points). mNIS+7 composite total score range= -22.32 to 346.32. Higher score indicated a lower function. Least square (LS) mean \& standard error (SE) were analyzed using Mixed Effects Model with Repeated Measures (MMRM). As pre-specified in the protocol, the efficacy of eplontersen was to be assessed by comparing participants enrolled in the eplontersen arm only with the external placebo group. There was no statistical comparison planned between the inotersen arm and the eplontersen-treated/external placebo group arms.
Measured: Baseline, Week 66
Change From Baseline in the Norfolk Quality of Life Diabetic Neuropathy (QoL-DN) Questionnaire at Week 66
The Norfolk QoL-DN score is a measure of physical function/large fiber neuropathy, symptoms, activities of daily living, small fiber neuropathy, and autonomic neuropathy. The Norfolk QoL-DN total score has a range of -4 to 138, and a higher score indicates poorer quality of life. LS mean and SE were analyzed using MMRM. As pre-specified in the protocol, the efficacy of eplontersen was to be assessed by comparing participants enrolled in the eplontersen arm only with the external placebo group. There was no statistical comparison planned between the inotersen arm and the eplontersen-treated/external placebo group arms.
Measured: Baseline, Week 66
Percent Change From Baseline in Serum TTR Concentration at Week 65
As pre-specified in the protocol, the efficacy of eplontersen was to be assessed by comparing participants enrolled in the eplontersen arm only with the external placebo group. There was no statistical comparison planned between the inotersen arm and the eplontersen-treated/external placebo group arms. Overall number analyzed is the number of participants with data available for analysis.
Measured: Baseline, Week 65
Percent Change From Baseline in Serum TTR Concentration at Week 35
As pre-specified in the protocol, the efficacy of eplontersen was to be assessed by comparing participants enrolled in the eplontersen arm only with the external placebo group. There was no statistical comparison planned between the inotersen arm and the eplontersen-treated/external placebo group arms. Overall number analyzed is the number of participants with data available for analysis.
Measured: Baseline, Week 35
Change From Baseline in Modified Neuropathy Impairment Score Plus 7 (mNIS+7) at Week 35
mNIS+7 composite score is a measure of neurologic impairment evaluating muscle weakness, sensation, reflexes, nerve conduction, and autonomic function. mNIS+7 consists of 2 composite scores: NIS composite score (maximum of 244 points) \& the modified +7 composite score (maximum of 102.32 points). mNIS+7 composite total score range= -22.32 to 346.32. Higher score indicated a lower function. LS mean and SE were analyzed using MMRM. As pre-specified in the protocol, the efficacy of eplontersen was to be assessed by comparing participants enrolled in the eplontersen arm only with the external placebo group. There was no statistical comparison planned between the inotersen arm and the eplontersen-treated/external placebo group arms.
Measured: Baseline, Week 35
Secondary outcomes (5)
Change From Baseline in Norfolk QOL-DN at Week 35
The Norfolk QoL-DN score is a measure of physical function/large fiber neuropathy, symptoms, activities of daily living, small fiber neuropathy, and autonomic neuropathy. The Norfolk QoL-DN total score has a range of -4 to 138, and a higher score indicates poorer quality of life. LS mean and SE were analyzed using MMRM. As pre-specified in the protocol, the efficacy of eplontersen was to be assessed by comparing participants enrolled in the eplontersen arm only with the external placebo group. There was no statistical comparison planned between the inotersen arm and the eplontersen-treated/external placebo group arms.
Measured: Baseline, Week 35
Change From Baseline in Neuropathy Symptom and Change (NSC) Score at Weeks 35 and 66
NSC score is a questionnaire composed of 38 questions divided into 5 domains: muscle weakness, sensory (hypo/loss of sensation), sensory (paresthesia, hyper sensation), autonomic (gastrointestinal \& urinary incontinence), \& autonomic (non-GI/non-urinary incontinence)]. Answers to questionnaire are yes/no and if yes, then degree of severity is graded as 1 (slight +), 2 (moderate ++) and 3 (severe +++). 0=no symptom. NSC total score is a sum of scores across all 5 domains. Total score= 0-114. Higher scores=more neuropathy symptoms. LS mean and SE were analyzed using MMRM. As pre-specified in the protocol, the efficacy of eplontersen was to be assessed by comparing participants enrolled in the eplontersen arm only with the external placebo group. There was no statistical comparison planned between the inotersen arm and the eplontersen-treated/external placebo group arms.
Measured: Baseline, Week 35, Week 66
Change From Baseline in the Physical Component Summary (PCS) Score of the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) at Week 65
SF-36 comprises 36 items that yield 8 subscales and 2 summary measures (PCS and Mental component summary [MCS]). Multi-item subscales (35 items) includes: physical function=10 items, role physical =4 items, bodily pain=2 items, general health=5 items, vitality=4 items, social functioning=2 items, role emotional =3 items and mental health=5 items. 8 subscales are scored from 0-100. Higher scores indicate better health. 8 subscales are aggregated into a PCS score ranging from 0-100. Higher scores indicate better health. LS mean and SE were analyzed using MMRM. As pre-specified in the protocol, the efficacy of eplontersen was to be assessed by comparing participants enrolled in the eplontersen arm only with the external placebo group. There was no statistical comparison planned between the inotersen arm and the eplontersen-treated/external placebo group arms.
Measured: Baseline, Week 65
Change From Baseline in Polyneuropathy Disability (PND) Score at Week 65
PND is a 5-stage scoring system. PND score is defined as I=sensory disturbances in limbs without motor impairment; II=difficulty walking without the need of a walking aid; IIIa=one stick or one crutch required for walking; IIIb=two sticks or two crutches needed; IV=wheelchair required or patient confined to bed. For analysis, no impairment is scored as 0, I is scored as 1, II as 2, IIIa as 3, IIIb as 4 and IV as 5. Lower scores indicate greater ambulatory function. LS mean and SE were analyzed using MMRM. As pre-specified in the protocol, the efficacy of eplontersen was to be assessed by comparing participants enrolled in the eplontersen arm only with the external placebo group. There was no statistical comparison planned between the inotersen arm and the eplontersen-treated/external placebo group arms.
Measured: Baseline, Week 65
Change From Baseline in Modified Body Mass Index (mBMI) at Week 65
mBMI is defined as body mass index in kilograms per square meter (kg/m^2) multiplied by serum albumin in grams per liter (g/L). As pre-specified in the protocol, the efficacy of eplontersen was to be assessed by comparing participants enrolled in the eplontersen arm only with the external placebo group. There was no statistical comparison planned between the inotersen arm and the eplontersen-treated/external placebo group arms.
Measured: Baseline, Week 65

Primary outcome
Change From Baseline in Modified Neuropathy Impairment Score Plus 7 (mNIS+7) at Week 66
Time frame: Baseline, Week 66
mNIS+7 composite score is a measure of neurologic impairment evaluating muscle weakness, sensation, reflexes, nerve conduction, and autonomic function. mNIS+7 consists of 2 composite scores: the NIS composite score (maximum of 244 points) \& the modified +7 composite score (maximum of 102.32 points). mNIS+7 composite total score range= -22.32 to 346.32. Higher score indicated a lower function. Least square (LS) mean \& standard error (SE) were analyzed using Mixed Effects Model with Repeated Measures (MMRM). As pre-specified in the protocol, the efficacy of eplontersen was to be assessed by comparing participants enrolled in the eplontersen arm only with the external placebo group. There was no statistical comparison planned between the inotersen arm and the eplontersen-treated/external placebo group arms.
Change From Baseline in the Norfolk Quality of Life Diabetic Neuropathy (QoL-DN) Questionnaire at Week 66
Time frame: Baseline, Week 66
The Norfolk QoL-DN score is a measure of physical function/large fiber neuropathy, symptoms, activities of daily living, small fiber neuropathy, and autonomic neuropathy. The Norfolk QoL-DN total score has a range of -4 to 138, and a higher score indicates poorer quality of life. LS mean and SE were analyzed using MMRM. As pre-specified in the protocol, the efficacy of eplontersen was to be assessed by comparing participants enrolled in the eplontersen arm only with the external placebo group. There was no statistical comparison planned between the inotersen arm and the eplontersen-treated/external placebo group arms.

Higher score indicated a lower function. LS mean and SE were analyzed using MMRM. As pre-specified in the protocol, the efficacy of eplontersen was to be assessed by comparing participants enrolled in the eplontersen arm only with the external placebo group. There was no statistical comparison planned between the inotersen arm and the eplontersen-treated/external placebo group arms.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Inotersen and Eplontersen in people with Hereditary Transthyretin-Mediated Amyloid Polyneuropathy, run by Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 45 sites in 16 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 45 sites in United States, Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Taiwan and 11 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Dec 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change From Baseline in Modified Neuropathy Impairment Score Plus 7 (mNIS+7) at Week 66 (time frame: Baseline, Week 66). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04136184, which also lists 6 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Dec 2024.
