Clinical Trial Summary

The study will compare the safety, effectiveness and tolerability of gabapentin (Neurontin) versus gabapentin enacarbil (Horizant) as treatment restless leg syndrome.


Description:

The study will compare the safety, effectiveness and tolerability of gabapentin (Neurontin) versus gabapentin enacarbil (Horizant) as treatment restless leg syndrome. Subjects will be randomized to gabapentin (IR) or Horizant™ (ER). Dosing will be blinded to both patient and study team members. Once study medication dosing has been optimized, subjects will then remain on a stable dose for six weeks until study endpoint, after which subjects will be down-titrated off of study medications.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Sleep Scale The MOS Sleep Scale consists of 12 individual items (4 sleep disturbance, 2 sleep adequacy, 1 quantity of sleep and optimal sleep, 3 somnolence, 1 snoring, and 1 shortness of breath) and takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete. Question 1 is scored on a scale of 1 to 5 ( 1 = 0-15 min to more than 60 min) and Questions 2 to 12 are scored on a scale of 1 to 6 (1 = all of the time to 6 = none of the time. The Sleep Disturbance Subscale score is derived from the scores to Questions 1, 3, 7, and 8 and ranges from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate greater sleep disturbance. Baseline, day 35, day 54
Primary International Restless Leg Syndrome Rating Scale (IRLS) The IRLS is a measure of severity of Restless Legs Syndrome. It includes 10 items, measured on a scale of 0-4. A score of 1-10 indicates mild severity, 11-20 indicates moderate severity, 21-30 is severe and 31-40 is very severe. Primary outcome is the difference in IRLS scores for each of the treatment regimens.
from 0 to 4.
10 weeks
Secondary Restless Leg Syndrome Quality of Life Scale (RLSQoL) The Restless Legs Syndrome Quality of Life questionnaire (RLSQoL) assesses the impact of RLS on daily life, emotional well-being, social life, and work life. Baseline, day 35, day 54.
