Efficacy of RADICAVA ORS^® & RADICAVA^® IV

RADICAVA ORS^® (edaravone) has the same efficacy as RADICAVA^® (edaravone)¹

Actor portrayals.

RADICAVA ORS^® (edaravone) offers the same drug as RADICAVA^® (edaravone) in a different formulation^1,2

Results from a phase 1 pharmacokinetic study in healthy subjects showed equivalent plasma levels with RADICAVA ORS^® and RADICAVA^®.^1,2

STUDY DESIGN

The pivotal phase 3 trial for RADICAVA^® was a 24-week, randomized, placebo-controlled study¹

Cycles of 24-week double blind study of RADICAVA® (edaravone) versus placebo

Most patients in the RADICAVA^® and placebo arms were on riluzole^3,5

(n=62/68)

STUDY DESIGN

Patients were selected for relatively good function at baseline and adequate disease progression on the ALSFRS-R³

At study entry^3,6
Definite ALS or probable ALS (El Escorial and revised Airlie House diagnostic criteria)
Scores ≥2 on all items of the ALSFRS-R
Grade 1 or 2 in Japan ALS severity classification^b
Normal respiratory function (≥80% FVC)
Disease duration ≤2 years
Age 20-75

Deterioration in ALSFRS-R score of 1 to 4 points during 12-week pre-study observation period

The inclusion criteria of the pivotal clinical trial³:

Used a defined population based on an analysis of an earlier clinical trial

Identified patients who would be expected to have a sufficient and measurable deterioration over 24 weeks in order to see a treatment effect

^bJapan ALS severity classification grades, which were used for the pivotal clinical trial (J19), range from 1 to 5 as follows⁷:

1. Able to work or perform housework. 2. Independent living but unable to work. 3. Requiring assistance for eating, excretion, or ambulation. 4. Presence of respiratory insufficiency, difficulty in coughing out sputum, or dysphagia. 5. Using a tracheostomy tube, tube feeding, or tracheostomy positive-pressure ventilation.

In the pivotal phase 3 clinical trial, RADICAVA^® showed a 33% change in the slope of the ALSFRS-R vs placebo.^1,3

33% less change in ALSFRS-R scores from baseline vs placebo at 24 weeks^1,3

A report on a survey of 65 members of Northeast ALS Consortium (NEALS) concluded that a treatment is clinically meaningful when it results in 20% to 25% or greater change in the slope of ALSFRS-R reflecting the slowing of functional decline.⁸

STUDY DESIGN

In the pivotal phase 3 clinical trial, patients on RADICAVA^® declined slower vs placebo group³

ABOUT THE ALSFRS-R STUDY DESIGN

Patients on RADICAVA^® lost fewer points vs placebo¹

In the phase 3 clinical trial, RADICAVA^® was shown to slow the decline of physical function in patients with ALS.¹

Percent of Patients Who^1,9:

Bar graph showing percentage of patients who lost ALSFRS-R points in RADICAVA® (edaravone) clinical trial

“…the overall distribution shift suggests that the effect of slowing decline…was driven by the majority of patients responding to treatment rather than a response to treatment that was limited to a specific subtype of patient.”⁹

STUDY DESIGN

At 24 weeks, there was an overall shift in point loss between treatment groups.⁹

A similar number of patients in both the RADICAVA^® arm and placebo arm lost 3 to 10 points.⁹

It is very important to let patients know that¹:

RADICAVA ORS^® and RADICAVA^® IV are ongoing treatments for ALS
They are not a cure
They do not restore function
Individual results may vary

ALS can progress rapidly.¹⁰ Beginning treatment with RADICAVA^® ORS can be critical in slowing the loss of physical function.^1,3,11
