| trial | |

| Modulation of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptors in a | |
| non-selective manner decreases disease activity in patients with | |
| multiple sclerosis but has potential safety concerns. We | |
| assessed the safety and efficacy of the oral selective S1P | |
| receptor modulator ozanimod in patients with relapsing multiple | |
| sclerosis. | |
| Methods | |
| RADIANCE is a combined phase 2/3 trial. Patients with relapsing | |
| multiple sclerosis were recruited from 55 academic and private | |
| multiple sclerosis clinics in 13 countries across Europe and the | |
| USA. Eligible participants were aged 18�55 years, had an | |
| Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of 0�5�0, and had | |
| either one or more relapses in the previous 12 months, or one or | |
| more relapses in the past 24 months and one or more | |
| gadolinium-enhancing lesions on MRI in the previous 12 months | |
| before screening. | |
| Participants were assigned by a computer-generated randomisation | |
| sequence in a 1:1:1 ratio to ozanimod (0�5 mg or 1 mg) or | |
| matching placebo once daily for 24 weeks by an independent, | |
| unmasked, statistical team. Trial participants, study site | |
| personnel, MRI assessors, steering committee members, and the | |
| study statistician were masked to treatment assignment. | |
| To attenuate first-dose cardiac effects, ozanimod was | |
| up-titrated from 0�25 mg to 0�5 mg or 1 mg over 8 days. The | |
| primary endpoint was the cumulative number of total | |
| gadolinium-enhancing MRI lesions measured by an independent MRI | |
| analysis centre at weeks 12�24 after treatment initiation. | |
| Analysis was by intention to treat. | |
| Here, we report results from the 24-week phase 2 trial. This | |
| trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01628393. | |
| The 2-year phase 3 trial is ongoing. | |
| Findings | |
| The first patient was randomised on Oct 18, 2012, and the final | |
| visit of the last randomised patient was on May 11, 2014. The | |
| intention-to-treat and safety population consisted of 258 | |
| participants, 88 were assigned placebo, 87 ozanimod 0�5 mg, and | |
| 83 ozanimod 1 mg; 252 (98%) patients completed the assigned | |
| treatment. | |
| The mean cumulative number of gadolinium-enhancing lesions at | |
| weeks 12�24 was 11�1 (SD 29�9) with placebo compared with 1�5 | |
| (3�7) with ozanimod 0�5 mg (odds ratio 0�16, 95% CI 0�08�0�30; | |
| p<0�0001) and 1�5 (3�4) with ozanimod 1 mg (odds ratio 0�11, 95% | |
| CI 0�06�0�21; p<0�0001). | |
| Three serious adverse events unrelated to treatment were | |
| reported in patients assigned ozanimod 0�5 mg: optic neuritis, | |
| somatoform autonomic dysfunction, and cervical squamous | |
| metaplasia (HPV-related). No serious infectious or cardiac | |
| adverse events were reported, and no cases of macular oedema | |
| arose. | |
| The most common adverse events in the ozanimod 0�5 mg and 1 mg | |
| groups compared with placebo were nasopharyngitis (11 and five | |
| vs 12), headache (five and three vs eight), and urinary-tract | |
| infections (six and two vs two). | |
| The maximum reduction in mean heart rate by Holter monitoring | |
| during the first 6 h in ozanimod-treated participants was less | |
| than 2 beats per min (bpm) compared with baseline, with no | |
| patient having a minimum hourly heart rate less than 45 bpm. | |
| Electrocardiograms and 24-h Holter monitoring showed no | |
| increased incidence of atrioventricular block or sinus pause | |
| with ozanimod. | |
| Interpretation | |
| Ozanimod significantly reduced MRI lesion activity in | |
| participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis, with a | |
| favourable safety profile over a period of 24 weeks. These | |
| findings warrant phase 3 trials, which are ongoing. | |

| Trial results presented for oral ozanimod (RPC1063)(MSAA researc | |
| h news) | |

| An article about ozanimod from the MSAA Research News, April 28, | |
| 2016: | |
| [quote]Trial Results Presented for Oral Ozanimod | |
| [In] February, the 72-week Phase II results were presented from | |
| the RADIANCE trial, which studied the effectiveness of ozanimod | |
| treatment in individuals with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS). | |
| Previously known as RPC1063, this investigational medication is | |
| now under development by Celgene Corporation. | |
| Ozanimod is a selective S1P 1 and 5 receptor modulator. It was | |
| given as a once-daily pill in the Phase II RADIANCE trial and | |
| was compared at two different doses (0.5 mg and 1 mg) with | |
| placebo. A total of 258 RRMS patients were studied in this | |
| double-blind trial, which ran for 24 weeks and was then followed | |
| by a 48-week blinded-extension period. After the initial 24 | |
| weeks, individuals taking the placebo were randomized to either | |
| dose of the medication. | |
| At the conclusion of the 72-week study, patients in groups | |
| taking either dose of ozanimod showed a significant decrease in | |
| the mean number of gadolinium-enhanced (GdE) lesions. A | |
| significant number of participants were also free of GdE | |
| lesions, and relapse rates were reduced as well. | |
| The most common side effects reported were minor infections, | |
| back pain, and headache. Elevated liver enzymes were seen in 3 | |
| to 4 percent of the participants. No serious cardiac events were | |
| reported. | |
| Ozanimod is now being studied in two Phase III trials, SUNBEAM | |
| and a two-year portion of RADIANCE. | |
