<p><strong>Background: </strong>Motor neuron disease represents a group of progressive and incurable diseases that are characterised by selective loss of motor neurons, resulting in an urgent need for rapid identification of effective disease-modifying therapies.

Participants were randomised (1:1:1) to receive oral trazodone 200 mg once a day, oral memantine 20 mg once a day, or matched placebo using a computer-generated minimisation algorithm delivered via a secure web-based system. Co-primary outcome measures were clinical functioning, measured by rate of change in the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale Revised (ALSFRS-R), and survival. Comparisons were conducted in four stages, with predefined criteria for stopping at the end of stages one and two. We report interim analysis from the stage two results, which was done when 100 participants per group (excluding long survivors, defined as >8 years since diagnosis at baseline) completed a minimum of 12 months of follow-up for the candidate investigational medicinal products.

The primary interim analysis population comprised 530 participants, of whom 175 (33%) had been allocated memantine, 175 (33%) had been allocated trazodone, and 180 (34%) had been allocated placebo. Over 12 months of follow-up, the mean rate of change per month in ALSFRS-R was -0·650 for memantine, -0·625 for trazodone, and -0·655 for placebo (memantine versus placebo estimated mean difference 0·033, one-sided 90% CI lower level -0·085; one-sided p=0·36; trazodone vs placebo: 0·065, -0·051; one-sided p=0·24).

<p><strong>Background: </strong>Evobrutinib, a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, has shown preliminary efficacy in people with relapsing multiple sclerosis in a phase 2 trial. Here, we aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of evobrutinib with the active comparator teriflunomide in people with relapsing multiple sclerosis.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>EvolutionRMS1 and evolutionRMS2 were two multicentre, randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, phase 3 trials conducted at 701 multiple sclerosis centres and neurology clinics in 52 countries. Adults aged 18-55 years with relapsing multiple sclerosis (Expanded Disability Status Scale [EDSS] score of 0·0-5·5) were included. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) using a central interactive web response system to receive either evobrutinib (45 mg twice per day with placebo once per day) or teriflunomide (14 mg once per day with placebo twice per day), all taken orally and in an unfasted state, with randomisation stratified by geographical region and baseline EDSS. All study staff and participants were masked to the study interventions. The primary endpoint for each study was annualised relapse rate based on adjudicated qualified relapses up to 156 weeks, assessed in the full analysis set (defined as all randomly assigned participants) with a negative binomial model. These studies are registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04338022 for evolutionRMS1 and NCT04338061 for evolutionRMS2, both are terminated).</p><p><strong>Findings: </strong>The primary analysis was done using data for 2290 randomly assigned participants collected from June 12, 2020, to Oct 2, 2023. 1124 participants were included in the full analysis set in evolutionRMS1 (560 in the evobrutinib group and 564 in the teriflunomide group) and 1166 in evolutionRMS2 (583 in each group). 751 (66·8%) participants were female and 373 (33·1%) were male in evolutionRMS1, whereas 783 (67·2%) were female and 383 (32·8%) were male in evolutionRMS2. Annualised relapse rate was 0·15 (95% CI 0·12-0·18 with evobrutinib vs 0·14 [0·11-0·18] with teriflunomide (adjusted RR 1·02 [0·75-1·39]; p=0·55) in evolutionRMS1 and 0·11 (0·09-0·13 vs 0·11 [0·09-0·13]; adjusted RR 1·00 [0·74-1·35]; p=0·51) in evolutionRMS2. The pooled proportion of participants with any treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was similar between treatment groups (976 [85·6%] of 1140 with evobrutinib vs 999 [87·2%] of 1146 with teriflunomide). The most frequently reported TEAEs were COVID-19 (223 [19·6%] with evobrutinib vs 223 [19·5%] with teriflunomide), alanine aminotransferase increased (173 [15·2%] vs 204 [17·8%]), aspartate aminotransferase increased (110 [9·6%] vs 131 [11·4%]), and headache (175 [15·4%] vs 176 [15·4%]). Serious TEAE incidence rates were higher with evobrutinib than teriflunomide (86 [7·5%] vs 64 [5·6%]). Liver enzyme elevations at least 5 × upper limit of normal were more common with evobrutinib than with teriflunomide, particularly
背景埃沃布替尼是一种布鲁顿酪氨酸激酶（BTK）抑制剂，在一项二期试验中显示出对复发性多发性硬化症患者的初步疗效。在此，我们旨在比较 evobrutinib 与特立氟胺（teriflunomide）在复发性多发性硬化症患者中的安全性和有效性：EvolutionRMS1和evolutionRMS2是两项多中心、随机、双盲、双假、活性对照的3期试验，在52个国家的701个多发性硬化症中心和神经病学诊所进行。研究对象包括 18-55 岁的复发性多发性硬化症成人患者（扩展残疾状态量表 [EDSS] 评分为 0-0-5-5）。参与者通过中央交互式网络响应系统被随机分配（1:1）到埃沃布鲁替尼（45 毫克，每天两次，安慰剂每天一次）或特利福罗米（14 毫克，每天一次，安慰剂每天两次）治疗方案中，所有药物均在非禁食状态下口服，并按地理区域和基线 EDSS 进行分层。所有研究人员和参与者都对研究干预措施进行了蒙蔽。每项研究的主要终点均为年化复发率，以156周内判定的合格复发为基础，采用负二项模型对全部分析集（定义为所有随机分配的参与者）进行评估。这些研究已在 ClinicalTrials.gov 注册（evolutionRMS1 为 NCT04338022，evolutionRMS2 为 NCT04338061，两项研究均已终止）：主要分析使用了从 2020 年 6 月 12 日至 2023 年 10 月 2 日收集的 2290 名随机分配参与者的数据。1124名参与者被纳入evolutionRMS1的完整分析集（evobrutinib组560人，特立氟胺组564人），1166名参与者被纳入evolutionRMS2的完整分析集（每组583人）。evolutionRMS1组有751人（66-8%）为女性，373人（33-1%）为男性；evolutionRMS2组有783人（67-2%）为女性，383人（32-8%）为男性。evobrutinib的年复发率为0-15（95% CI 0-12-0-18 vs 0-14 [0-11-0-18] teriflunomide（调整后RR 1-02 [0-75-1-39]; p=0-55），evolutionRMS1的年复发率为0-11（0-09-0-13 vs 0-11 [0-09-0-13]; 调整后RR 1-00 [0-74-1-35]; p=0-51），evolutionRMS2的年复发率为0-11（0-09-0-13 vs 0-11 [0-09-0-13]; 调整后RR 1-00 [0-74-1-35]; p=0-51）。各治疗组中出现任何治疗突发不良事件（TEAE）的总人数比例相似（埃沃布替尼治疗组1140人中有976人[85-6%]，特立氟胺治疗组1146人中有999人[87-2%]）。最常报告的TEAE为COVID-19（埃沃布替尼223 [19-6%] vs 特立氟胺223 [19-5%]）、丙氨酸氨基转移酶升高（173 [15-2%] vs 204 [17-8%]）、天冬氨酸氨基转移酶升高（110 [9-6%] vs 131 [11-4%]）和头痛（175 [15-4%] vs 176 [15-4%]）。evobrutinib的严重TEAE发生率高于特立氟胺（86 [7-5%] vs 64 [5-6%]）。evobrutinib的肝酶升高至少为正常值上限的5倍，比特立氟胺更常见，尤其是在前12周（55 [5-0%] vs 9 [解释：evobrutinib的疗效比特立氟胺好，但肝酶升高至少为正常值上限的5倍：evobrutinib的疗效并不优于特立氟胺。总之，疗效和肝脏相关安全性研究结果均不支持在复发性多发性硬化症患者中使用evobrutinib：默克公司。

The concept of frailty, now being adopted in most medical disciplines, is attracting growing interest in neurology. Every day, most neurologists care for patients with varying degrees of frailty, from very mild to very severe. Frailty exacerbates patients' health needs, complicates clinical decision making, and negatively affects their health outcomes. Increasing evidence suggests that frailty affects the risk, clinical presentation, and course of common age-related neurological disorders, including dementia, Parkinson's disease, stroke, and multiple sclerosis. Most neurologists should become familiar with assessing and measuring frailty. Doing so can provide information that is crucial for diagnosis, prognostication, and care planning. Consideration of frailty can help to elucidate the pathophysiological underpinnings of age-related neurological disorders, clarify the clinical validity and utility of candidate biomarkers, and identify novel therapeutic targets. Randomised controlled trials investigating late-life neurological diseases that address frailty have the potential to provide insight into these complex disorders.

Most neurologists should become familiar with assessing and measuring frailty. Doing so can provide information that is crucial for diagnosis, prognostication, and care planning. Consideration of frailty can help to elucidate the pathophysiological underpinnings of age-related neurological disorders, clarify the clinical validity and utility of candidate biomarkers, and identify novel therapeutic targets. Randomised controlled trials investigating late-life neurological diseases that address frailty have the potential to provide insight into these complex disorders.</p>","PeriodicalId":17989,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Neurology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":46.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142290340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
