A Study to Evaluate SAGE-217 in Participants With Essential Tremor

The accelerometer-based Kinesia kinetic tremor combined score is the sum of Kinesia kinetic tremor scores across both sides of the body. Tremor is measured using a motion sensor that transmits raw data to a computer where it converts the tremor amplitude to a Kinesia score of 0 to 4 based on validated algorithms; the total score ranges from 0 to 8, higher scores indicate more severe tremor. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

The accelerometer-based Kinesia upper limb total score is the sum of the individual item scores across both sides of the body. The individual items included forward outstretched postural tremor (FOPT), lateral "wing beating" postural tremor (LWBPT), and kinetic tremor (KT) scores from both sides of the body. Each upper limb individual item question score for each side of the body ranges from 0 to 4. The Kinesia upper limb total score ranges from 0 to 24, with higher scores indicating more tremors/greater tremor amplitude. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

An Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug-related. Adverse events that occurred after the first administration of study drug were denoted as TEAEs. A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) was an AE occurring during any study phase and at any dose of the study drug, comparator, or placebo, that fulfilled the following outcomes: death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, a persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal functions, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered serious when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition.

The C-SSRS consists of a baseline and post-baseline (PB) evaluation that assesses the lifetime experience of the participants with suicidal ideation and behavior. The data for suicidal ideation were summarized for participants who answered 'Yes'. Suicide ideation was categorized as 1) wish to be dead and 2) non-specific active suicidal thoughts.

Vital signs included heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, and blood pressure.

Laboratory parameters included hematology, blood chemistry, and urinalysis.

A 12-lead ECG was performed.

The SSS was designed to quickly assess how alert a subject is feeling. Degrees of sleepiness and alertness are rated on a scale of 1 to 7, where the lowest score of 1 indicates the subject is "feeling active, vital, alert, or wide awake" and the highest score of 7 indicates the participant is "no longer fighting sleep, sleep onset soon; having dream-like thoughts". Greater changes from baseline indicate greater sedation. A positive change from baseline indicates improvement.

Mood was assessed using the Bond-Lader VAS score. This is a 16-part self-administered questionnaire that employs a 100-mm VAS to explore different aspects of self-reported mood. Three factor scores for (alertness, contentedness, and calmness) were calculated using following equations based on normalized VAS scores:

• Alertness = 0.827X1 + 0.618X3 + 0.755X4 + 0.642X5 + 0.776X6 + 0.635X9 + 0.792X11 + 0.593X12 + 0.614X15;
• Contentedness = 0.677X7 + 0.697X8 + 0.823X13 + 0.738X14 + 0.594X16; and
• Calmness = 0.845X2 + 0.677X10,

where Xi represents a subject's item score after normalization, and i represents the item number from the entire scale (in order from 1-16). A negative change from baseline (CFB) indicated more alertness, more contentedness, and more calmness.

Participants responded to 5 DEQs based on how they are feeling after taking the study drug. DEQ-5 were as follows; Q1: Do you FEEL a drug effect right now? Q2: Are you HIGH right now? Q3: Do you DISLIKE any of the effects that you are feeling right now? Q4: Do you LIKE any of the effects that you are feeling right now? Q5: Would you like MORE of the drug you took, right now? The answers were recorded on a 100-mm VAS, with the answer for each being "Not at all" (0 mm) and "Extremely" (100 mm) at the extremes. There were options to record "Not applicable" for questions 3 and 4 if no drug effects were felt and for question 5 prior to administration of study medication, and these participants were excluded from the data summarization. Higher score on Q1 indicates a drug effect; on Q2 indicates feeling high; on Q3 indicates disliking the drug; and on Q4 and Q5 indicates liking the drug.
