Abstract
Background: Trofinetide was approved for the treatment of Rett syndrome (RTT) in patients aged ≥2 years based on the results of the 12-week, randomized, phase 3 LAVENDER study. In LILAC, a 40-week, open-label extension study of LAVENDER, trofinetide continued to improve the symptoms of RTT, with a similar safety profile as LAVENDER. Here, we report long-term safety and efficacy results of LILAC-2, a 32-month, open-label extension study.
Methods: Females aged 5-22 years who completed LILAC were eligible to enter LILAC-2. Safety and tolerability were assessed with the incidence of adverse events (AEs). Efficacy was assessed with Rett Syndrome Behaviour Questionnaire (RSBQ) and Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) scores. Caregiver interviews explored the patient's experience with RTT and the efficacy of trofinetide during study participation.
Findings: In total, 77 participants were enrolled in LILAC-2. The most common AEs were diarrhea (53.2%), COVID-19 (27.3%), and vomiting (19.5%). The mean (standard error [SE]) change in RSBQ score from LAVENDER baseline to week 104 of LILAC-2 was -11.8 (2.45). The mean (SE) CGI-I score from LILAC baseline to week 12 of LILAC-2 was 3.1 (0.10). Most caregivers (96%; n = 24/25) were satisfied or very satisfied with the benefits of trofinetide.
Conclusions: Long-term treatment with trofinetide continued to improve RTT symptoms, without new safety concerns. Caregivers reported satisfaction with trofinetide related to improvements that were meaningful for their child and themselves.
Funding: The study was supported by Acadia Pharmaceuticals (San Diego, CA, USA). This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04776746.
