What This Study Did, in Plain Language

What Was Tested

This registered phase 3 trial tested Relamorelin.

It had 1 arm (groups): one (experimental).

The registry classes the interventions as drug.

Who Took Part

Enrollment: 202 actual participants took part.

It was open to people of any sex aged from 18 years with no upper age limit.

Healthy volunteers were not accepted; participants needed the condition being studied.

Examples of who could join: Successful completion of either Study RLM-MD-03 or Study RLM-MD-04. Ability to provide written informed consent (IC) prior to any study procedures and willingness and ability to comply with study procedures.

The full record lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria; among the exclusions: participant is planning to receive an investigational drug (other than study intervention) or investigational device at any time during study 3071-305-020; females who are pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy during the study.

How the Study Was Run

The set-up was single-group and open-label.

Everyone knew when Relamorelin was being given (open label), which is simpler to run but leaves more room for expectations to affect what is reported.

Everyone received the same intervention, so there was no separate comparison group inside the trial.

It started in 2018-12-20 with completion listed for 2020-10-05.

It ran at 486 sites in United States (189), Ukraine (33), India (30), Mexico (20), United Kingdom (18) and Poland (16).

Its stated primary purpose is treatment.

What Was Measured

Researchers chose this as the main measure: Number of Participants Who Experienced One or More Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: Up to approximately 22 months). Number of Participants With Clinically Meaningful Trends for Vital Signs (time frame: Up to approximately 22 months). Number of Participants With Clinically Meaningful Trends in Electrocardiogram (ECG) Results (time frame: Up to approximately 22 months).

What This Means in Plain Language

Put simply, this is a phase 3 trial of Relamorelin in 202 people.

It ended early (terminated); results are posted on the registry, and this page does not restate them.
