Evaluating functional disability in clinical trials of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate in binge eating disorder using the Sheehan Disability Scale.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study examined Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) performance in binge eating disorder (BED) and explored relationships between SDS and BED outcomes using data from three placebo-controlled lisdexamfetamine (LDX) studies (two short-term, dose-optimized studies and one double-blind, randomized-withdrawal study) in adults with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition, text revision (DSM-IV-TR)-defined BED.

Methods

Analyses evaluated the psychometric properties of the SDS.

Results

Confirmatory factor analysis supported a unidimensional total score in the short-term studies, with internal consistency (Cronbach's α) being 0.878. Total score exhibited good construct validity, with moderate and statistically significant correlations observed with Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale modified for binge eating, Binge Eating Scale (BES), and EuroQol Group 5-Dimension 5-Level health status index scores. Known-groups validity analysis for the short-term studies demonstrated a significantly lower total score at end of study in participants considered "not ill" versus "ill" based on Clinical Global Impressions-Severity scores. SDS total score changes in the short-term studies were greater in responders than nonresponders based on binge eating abstinence or BES score. In the randomized-withdrawal study, SDS scores increased relative to baseline to a greater extent in participants randomized to placebo than LDX.

Conclusions

These analyses support the reliability, validity, and responsiveness to change of the SDS in individuals with BED.

Project description:Importance:The ability of pharmacotherapies to prevent relapse and maintain efficacy with long-term treatment in psychiatric conditions is important. Objective:To assess lisdexamfetamine dimesylate maintenance of efficacy in adults with moderate to severe binge-eating disorder. Design, Setting, and Participants:A multinational, phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal study including 418 participants was conducted at 49 clinical research study sites from January 27, 2014, to April 8, 2015. Eligible adults met DSM-IV-R binge-eating disorder criteria and had moderate to severe binge eating disorder (?3 binge-eating days per week for 14 days before open-label baseline; Clinical Global Impressions-Severity [CGI-S] scores ?4 [moderate severity] at screening and open-label baseline). Following a 12-week, open-label phase (dose optimization, 4 weeks [lisdexamfetamine dimesylate, 50 or 70 mg]; dose maintenance, 8 weeks), lisdexamfetamine responders (?1 binge eating day per week for 4 consecutive weeks and CGI-S scores ?2 at week 12) were randomized to placebo or continued lisdexamfetamine during a 26-week, double-blind, randomized withdrawal phase. Interventions:Lisdexamfetamine administration. Main Outcomes and Measures:The primary outcome variable, time to relapse (?2 binge-eating days per week for 2 consecutive weeks and ?2-point CGI-S score increases from randomized withdrawal baseline), was analyzed using a log-rank test (primary analysis); the analysis was stratified for dichotomized 4-week cessation status. Safety assessments included treatment-emergent adverse events. Results:Of the 418 participants enrolled in the open-label phase of the study, 411 (358 [87.1%] women; mean [SD] age, 38.3 [10.4] years) were included in the safety analysis set. Of 275 randomized lisdexamfetamine responders (placebo, n?=?138; lisdexamfetamine, n?=?137), the observed proportions of participants meeting relapse criteria were 3.7% (5 of 136) for lisdexamfetamine and 32.1% (42 of 131) for placebo. Lisdexamfetamine demonstrated superiority over placebo on the log-rank test (?21, 40.37; P?<?.001) for time to relapse; the hazard ratio, based on a Cox proportional hazards model for lisdexamfetamine vs placebo, was 0.09 (95% CI, 0.04-0.23). The treatment-emergent adverse events observed were generally consistent with the known profile of lisdexamfetamine. Conclusions and Relevance:Risk of binge-eating relapse over 6 months was lower in participants continuing lisdexamfetamine than in those randomized to placebo. The hazard for relapse was lower with lisdexamfetamine than placebo. Trial Registration:clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT02009163.
