Clinical Outcome Measures

Abstract

Background

The next generations of MS therapies aim at enhancing remyelination, protecting neurons/axons and altering the slowly progressive course of MS from its inception. To evaluate their efficacy, it is essential to develop novel, patient-centric outcome assessments that can quantify patient’s function with high frequency in their everyday life.

Objectives

To develop a digital solution that enables patients to quantitatively self-assess their function at high frequency in free-living environment in complement to in-clinic supervised administration and derive outcome measures that are able to detect the subtle changes during MS evolution.

Methods

KonectomTM smartphone application was designed and developed with patient-focused user experience insights to assess cognition, upper extremity function, ambulation/mobility and MS-related quality of life. To optimize accuracy and adherence of self-assessments, tutorials, vocal instructions and completion reward features were built into the app. KonectomTM was developed under IEC 62304 / ISO 13485 standards. KonectomTM digital outcome assessments (DOAs) will derive digital features processed from iPhone X accelerometer, gyroscope, touch, force touch, and GPS sensor information. KonectomTM formal usability study was completed in September 2019, in Chicago and in Paris (N=14 participants). KonectomTM is being evaluated in two Phase 2 studies in patients with relapsing MS (NCT04079088, N=300, 72 weeks of treatment period; undisclosed RMS Ph2 study).

Results

KonectomTM DOAs include 9 active test modules (mood/physical state 5-point Likert scale, multiple sclerosis impact scale 29-item questionnaire version 2 [MSIS-29v2], cognitive processing speed test, pinching test, drawing test, grip force test, static balance test, U-turn test and 6-min walk test) and a passive continuous monitoring of mobility behaviour. In the user experience testing, KonectomTM received a system usability scale (SUS, range 0-100, mean [SD]) score of 87.7 [8.7] which is much above the benchmark average of smartphone applications with a likelihood to recommend (LTR, range 0-10, mean [SD]) of 8.1 [2.0]. Results were consistent between French and US participants.

Conclusions

KonectomTM provides a patient-centric modular digital platform for ecological monitoring of neurological disability in MS clinical trials and real-world use with potential to be extended to other neurological disorders affecting cognitive and motor functions
