Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Occurrence, Seriousness, Severity, and Causality Assessment of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)
Visits at Weeks 4 and 13 combined for each TS; including Visit at Week 8 for TS1

TEAEs Related to Study Medication include TEAEs classified as Possibly, Probably and Definitely Related. Treatment Session (TS)

Occurrence of Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI)
Visits at Weeks 4 and 13 combined for each TS; including Visit at Week 8 for TS1

Treatment Session (TS) AESI includes: Aspiration, Aspirational pneumonia, Choking and Dysphagia.

Columbia Suicide Rating Scale (C-SSRS): Suicidal Ideation, Behavior Scores and Intensity Scores
Baseline (Day 1) of each TS to the following: TS1 Visits at Weeks 4, 8, 13; TS2-4 Visits at Weeks 4, 13

Participants Analyzed does not match the Participant Flow because one participant discontinued prior to the first post-injection visit. Per protocol participants were only required to complete two treatment sessions with a maximum of 4 treatment sessions allowed. All subjects received 3500 U doses except for 13 subjects who had decreased doses at Treatment Session 2 and/or 3 (2500 U to 3000 U).

Occurrence of Dental Adverse Events
Visits at Weeks 4 and 13 combined for each TS; including Visit at Week 8 for TS1

Treatment Session (TS)

Unstimulated Salivary Flow Rate (USFR) at Week 4 Post-injection Visit (Part A)
4 Weeks

Change weight of expectorated saliva at a Week 4 post-injection visit.

Clinical Global Impression Change (CGI-C) at Week 4 Post-injection (Part A)
4 weeks

CGI-C was assessed on a 7-point scale ranging from "very much improved" to "very much worse" with 1 assigned to "very much improved" and 7 assigned to "very much worse"; ranging from a minimum score of 1 and a maximum score of 7.

Change in Drooling Frequency & Severity Scale (DFSS)at Wk 4 Post-injection
baseline versus 4 weeks post-injection

9 point scale, 0 = no drooling, 9 = severe drooling

Secondary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Unstimulated Salivary Flow Rate (USFR): Treatment Sessions 1-4
Baseline (Day 1) of each TS to the following: TS1 Visits at Weeks 4, 8, 13; TS2-4 Visits at Weeks 4, 13
Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S)
Baseline (Day 1) of each TS to the following: TS1 Visits at Weeks 4, 8, 13; TS2-4 Visits at Weeks 4, 13
Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C)

Frequently asked questions about MYOBLOC

What is MYOBLOC used for in sialorrhea?

MYOBLOC is being developed for the treatment of troublesome sialorrhea, the excessive production and pooling of saliva, in adults. Supernus Pharmaceuticals is studying it in this neurology indication through Phase 3 clinical development. Sialorrhea is often associated with neurological conditions that impair swallowing and oral muscle control.

Who makes MYOBLOC?

MYOBLOC is developed by Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker SUPN. The company is running the clinical program evaluating MYOBLOC in adults with troublesome sialorrhea.

What phase is MYOBLOC in for sialorrhea?

MYOBLOC is in Phase 3 development for troublesome sialorrhea in adults. Two Phase 3 trials have been completed, and no active trials are currently listed. The program has enrolled a total of 374 participants across those completed studies.

What clinical trials is MYOBLOC in?

Two completed Phase 3 trials have evaluated MYOBLOC in adults with troublesome sialorrhea. NCT01994109 was an efficacy and safety study followed by open-label multiple treatment, and NCT02610868 was an open-label, single-arm study. Both enrolled 187 participants and were conducted at sites including the United States, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus.

How was MYOBLOC studied in its sialorrhea trials?

The MYOBLOC Phase 3 program included randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled designs, with one trial also featuring an open-label multiple-treatment extension. Participants were adults aged 18 years and older of any sex, and healthy volunteers were not enrolled. The two completed trials together enrolled 374 participants.
