<h3>Background</h3>Tenecteplase has potential benefits over alteplase, the standard agent for intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischaemic stroke, because it is administered as a single bolus and might have superior efficacy. The ATTEST-2 trial investigated whether tenecteplase was non-inferior or superior to alteplase within 4·5 h of onset.<h3>Methods</h3>We undertook a prospective, randomised, parallel-group, open-label trial with masked endpoint evaluation in 39 UK stroke centres. Previously independent adults with acute ischaemic stroke, eligible for intravenous thrombolysis less than 4·5 h from last known well, were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive intravenous alteplase 0·9 mg/kg or tenecteplase 0·25 mg/kg, by use of a telephone-based interactive voice response system. The primary endpoint was the distribution of the day 90 modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score and was analysed using ordinal logistic regression in the modified intention-to-treat population. We tested the primary outcome for non-inferiority (odds ratio for tenecteplase <em>vs</em> alteplase non-inferiority limit of 0·75), and for superiority if non-inferiority was confirmed. Safety outcomes were mortality, symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage, radiological intracranial haemorrhage, and major extracranial bleeding.

<h3>Background</h3>Fatigue is one of the most disabling symptoms reported by people with multiple sclerosis. Although behavioural and pharmacological interventions might be partly beneficial, their combined effects have not been evaluated for multiple sclerosis fatigue, or examined with sufficient consideration of characteristics that might affect treatment response. In this comparative effectiveness research trial, we compared the effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), modafinil, and their combination for treating multiple sclerosis fatigue.<h3>Methods</h3>This randomised, analyst-blinded, parallel-arm, comparative effectiveness trial was done at two universities in the USA. Adults (aged ≥18 years) with multiple sclerosis and problematic fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale [FSS] score ≥4) were randomly assigned (1:1:1), using a web-based treatment assignment system with minimisation, to receive CBT, modafinil, or both for 12 weeks. Statisticians were masked to group assignment, but participants, study neurologists, CBT interventionalists, and coordinators were not masked to treatment assignment. The primary outcome was the change in Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) from baseline to 12 weeks, assessed using multiple linear regression, adjusted for age, sex, study site, anxiety, pain, baselines MFIS score, and physical activity. Analyses were done by intent to treat.

At 12 weeks, CBT (n=103), modafinil (n=107), and combination therapy (n=102) were associated with clinically meaningful within-group MFIS reductions of 15·20 (SD 11·90), 16·90 (15·90), and 17·30 (16·20) points, respectively. Change in MFIS scores from baseline to 12 weeks did not differ between groups: relative to combination therapy, the adjusted total mean difference in MFIS change score was 1·88 (95% CI –2·21 to 5·96) for CBT and 1·20 (–2·83 to 5·23) for modafinil. Most common adverse events for modafinil-containing treatment groups included insomnia (eight [7%] for modafinil and eight [7%] for combination therapy) and anxiety (three [3%] for modafinil and nine [8%] for combination therapy).<h3>Interpretation</h3>Modafinil, CBT, and combination therapy were associated with similar reductions in the effects of multiple sclerosis fatigue at 12 weeks.

<h3>Background</h3>Fasudil is a small molecule inhibitor of Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) and is approved for the treatment of subarachnoid haemorrhage. In preclinical studies, fasudil has been shown to attenuate neurodegeneration, modulate neuroinflammation, and foster axonal regeneration. We aimed to investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of fasudil in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.<h3>Methods</h3>ROCK-ALS was a phase 2, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted at 19 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis centres in Germany, France, and Switzerland. Individuals (aged 18–80 years) with at least probable amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (as per the revised El Escorial criteria), a disease duration of 6–24 months, and a slow vital capacity greater than 65% of predicted normal were eligible for inclusion. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive 30 mg (15 mg twice daily) or 60 mg (30 mg twice daily) fasudil or matched placebo intravenously for 20 days over a 4-week period. Follow-up assessments were performed at 45, 90, and 180 days after treatment initiation. The co-primary endpoints were safety until day 180 (defined as the proportion without drug-related serious adverse events) and tolerability during the treatment period (defined as the proportion who did not discontinue treatment due to suspected drug-related adverse events). The primary analyses were carried out in the intention-to-treat population, which included all participants who entered the treatment phase.

Thus, the intention-to-treat population comprised 35 in the fasudil 30 mg group, 39 in the fasudil 60 mg group, and 44 in the placebo group. The estimated proportion without a drug-related serious adverse event was 1·00 (95% CI 0·91 to 1·00) with placebo, 1·00 (0·89 to 1·00) with fasudil 30 mg, and 1·00 (0·90 to 1·00) with fasudil 60 mg; the difference in proportions was 0·00 (95% CI –0·11 to 0·10; p>0·99) for fasudil 30 mg versus placebo and 0·00 (–0·10 to 0·10; p>0·99) for fasudil 60 mg versus placebo. Treatment tolerability (the estimated proportion who did not discontinue) was 0·93 (95% CI 0·81 to 0·99) with placebo, 1·00 (0·90 to 1·00) with fasudil 30 mg, and 0·90 (0·76 to 0·97) with fasudil 60 m
背景法舒地尔是一种Rho相关激酶(ROCK)小分子抑制剂,已被批准用于治疗蛛网膜下腔出血。临床前研究显示,法舒地尔可减轻神经退行性变、调节神经炎症和促进轴突再生。我们旨在研究法舒地尔在肌萎缩侧索硬化症患者中的安全性、耐受性和疗效。方法ROCK-ALS是一项在德国、法国和瑞士的19个肌萎缩侧索硬化症中心进行的2期随机、双盲、安慰剂对照试验。至少患有可能的肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症(根据修订后的埃斯科里亚尔标准)、病程为 6-24 个月、慢速生命体征能力大于正常预测值的 65% 的患者(年龄在 18-80 岁之间)均符合纳入试验的条件。患者被随机分配(1:1:1)接受30毫克(15毫克,每天两次)或60毫克(30毫克,每天两次)法舒地尔或匹配的安慰剂,静脉注射20天,为期4周。在开始治疗后的45天、90天和180天进行随访评估。共同主要终点为180天前的安全性(定义为未发生药物相关严重不良事件的比例)和治疗期间的耐受性(定义为未因疑似药物相关不良事件而中断治疗的比例)。主要分析在意向治疗人群中进行,包括所有进入治疗阶段的参与者。该试验已在ClinicalTrials.gov(NCT03792490)和Eudra-CT(2017-003676-31)上注册,现已完成。研究结果在2019年2月20日至2022年4月20日期间,120名参与者入组并被随机分配;两名分配到法舒地尔30毫克的患者在基线访问前撤回了同意书。因此,意向治疗人群包括法舒地尔30毫克组35人、法舒地尔60毫克组39人和安慰剂组44人。安慰剂组未发生药物相关严重不良事件的估计比例为1-00(95% CI 0-91至1-00),法舒地尔30毫克组为1-00(0-89至1-00),法舒地尔60毫克组为1-00(0-90至1-00);法舒地尔30毫克组与安慰剂组的比例差异为0-00(95% CI -0-11至0-10;p>0-99),法舒地尔60毫克组与安慰剂组的比例差异为0-00(-0-10至0-10;p>0-99)。治疗耐受性(未中止治疗的估计比例):安慰剂为0-93(95% CI 0-81至0-99),法舒地尔30毫克为1-00(0-90至1-00),法舒地尔60毫克为0-90(0-76至0-97);法舒地尔30毫克与安慰剂的比例差异为0-07(95% CI -0-05至0-20;p=0-25),法舒地尔60毫克与安慰剂的比例差异为-0-03(-0-18至0-10;p=0-70)。共有8例死亡:安慰剂组2例,法舒地尔30毫克组4例,法舒地尔60毫克组2例。最常见的严重不良事件是呼吸衰竭(7 例)、胃造瘘(5 例)、肺炎(4 例)和吞咽困难(4 例)。没有严重不良事件或死亡归因于研究治疗。安慰剂组有139人发生不良事件,法舒地尔30毫克组有108人,法舒地尔60毫克组有105人,这些不良事件主要与疾病进展有关。法舒地尔对疗效结果的影响应在更大规模的临床试验中进行探索,这些试验应采用更长的治疗时间、口服给药方式以及可能更高的试验药物剂量。

In preclinical studies, fasudil has been shown to attenuate neurodegeneration, modulate neuroinflammation, and foster axonal regeneration. We aimed to investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of fasudil in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.<h3>Methods</h3>ROCK-ALS was a phase 2, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted at 19 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis centres in Germany, France, and Switzerland. Individuals (aged 18–80 years) with at least probable amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (as per the revised El Escorial criteria), a disease duration of 6–24 months, and a slow vital capacity greater than 65% of predicted normal were eligible for inclusion. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive 30 mg (15 mg twice daily) or 60 mg (30 mg twice daily) fasudil or matched placebo intravenously for 20 days over a 4-week period. Follow-up assessments were performed at 45, 90, and 180 days after treatment initiation. The co-primary endpoints were safety until day 180 (defined as the proportion without drug-related serious adverse events) and tolerability during the treatment period (defined as the proportion who did not discontinue treatment due to suspected drug-related adverse events). The primary analyses were carried out in the intention-to-treat population, which included all participants who entered the treatment phase.
