An Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety of Arbaclofen Extended-Release Tablets in Multiple Sclerosis Patients With Spasticity (Study OS440-3005)
Spasticity is a common complication in MS and occurs in up to 84% of patients. The main sign
of spasticity is resistance to passive limb movement characterized by increased resistance to
stretching, clonus, and exaggerated deep reflexes. Osmotica Pharmaceutical is currently
developing arbaclofen extended-release tablets (AERT) for the treatment of spasticity in
patients with MS.

This is a multicenter, open-label, long-term extension study to evaluate the safety and
tolerability of oral AERT in patients with spasticity due to MS. Subjects from the double
blind study (Study OS440-3004) may rollover into this open-label extension study, as well as
de novo subjects. The maintenance dose will be the highest tolerated dose. Subjects may
choose to taper study drug after Visit 3 if they experience adverse events and in direct
consultation with the investigator site. Subjects should be encouraged to titrate back to the
highest dose once adverse events subside or remain on the maximally tolerated AERT dose. Once
the subject has reached the maintenance dose, they will remain on that dose for approximately
1 year.

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Subjects 18 to 65 years of age, inclusive.
2. An established diagnosis per McDonald Criteria (Polman et al 2011) of MS (either
relapsing-remitting [RR] or secondary-progressive [SP] course) that manifests a
documented history of spasticity for at least 6 months prior to Baseline.
3. Has participated in Study OS440-3004 or is a new US subject (ie, a de novo subject)
who fulfills the inclusion/exclusion criteria.
4. Is willing to continue on open-label treatment with AERT as described in this
protocol.
5. If receiving disease-modifying medications (eg, interferons approved for MS,
glatiramer acetate, natalizumab, fingolimod, or mitoxantrone), there must be no change
in dose for at least 3 months prior to Baseline, and the subject must be willing to
maintain this treatment dose for the duration of the study. If receiving AMPYRA®
(dalfampridine, fampridine, 4 amino puridine), subject must be at a stable dose for at
least 3 months prior to Baseline.
6. Stable regimen for at least 1 month prior to Baseline for all medications and non
pharmacological therapies that are intended to alleviate spasticity.
a. De novo subjects being considered for enrollment and taking medications indicated
for the treatment of spasticity (ie, baclofen, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids,
carisoprodol, dantrolene, tizanidine, cyclobenzaprine, any neuroleptic, ropinoprole,
tolperisone, and clonidine) must wash out from these medications for a minimum of 21
days by Baseline in order to be eligible for study treatment. De novo subjects found
not to meet this criterion will be withdrawn from the study and will be considered
screen failures.
7. Absence of infections, peripheral vascular disease, painful contractures, advanced
arthritis, or other conditions that hinder evaluation of joint movement.
8. Creatinine clearance, as calculated by the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using the
Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study (MDRD) formula, of >50 mL/minute.
9. Use of a medically highly effective form of birth control (see Section 7.8 of the
protocol) during the study and for 3 months thereafter for women of child-bearing
potential (including female subjects).
10. Willing to sign the informed consent form (ICF).
Exclusion Criteria:
- 1. Any concomitant disease or disorder that has symptoms of spasticity or that may
influence the subject's level of spasticity.
2. Inability to rate their level of spasticity or distinguish it from other MS
symptoms.
3. Use of high dose oral or intravenous methylprednisolone, or equivalent, within 3
months before Baseline.
4. History of allergy to baclofen or any inactive components of the test formulation.
5. Concomitant use of medications that would potentially interfere with the actions of
the study medication or outcome variables (Appendix 5).
6. Pregnancy, lactation, or planned pregnancy during the course of the study and for 3
months after the final study visit.
7. Recent history (within past 12 months) of any unstable psychiatric disease (or yes
response to questions 1 or 2 on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale [C SSRS] at
baseline), or current signs and symptoms of significant medical disorders such as
severe, progressive, or uncontrolled pulmonary, cardiac, gastrointestinal, hepatic,
renal, genitourinary, hematological, endocrine, immunologic, or neurological disease.
8. History of epilepsy. 9. Current significant cognitive deficit, severe or untreated
anxiety, severe or untreated depression.
10. Subjects with abnormal micturition that requires indwelling or intermittent
catheterization or with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) that result in a score >26
in the Baseline Urinary Symptom Profile - USP© (USP) questionnaire (Appendix 6).
Subjects who are proficient in self-catheterization may be included in the study at
the investigator's discretion.
11. Current malignancy or history of malignancy that has not been in remission for
more than 5 years, except effectively treated basal cell skin carcinoma.
12. Subject has clinically significant abnormal laboratory values, in the opinion of
the investigator at Baseline (at Visit 6 for rollover subjects).
13. Any other significant disease, disorder, or significant laboratory finding,
including clinically significant abnormal laboratory values or ongoing serious adverse
events (SAEs) at Visit 6 (Final Visit) of Study OS440-3004, which, in the opinion of
the investigator, puts the subject at risk because of participation, influences the
result of the study, or affects the subject's ability to participate.
14. Planned elective surgery or other procedures requiring general anesthesia during
the course of the study.
15. History of any illicit substance abuse (eg, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine) or
prescription for long-acting opioids within the past 12 months (tramadol use will be
allowed).
16. Participation in another clinical research study (with the exception of Study
OS440-3004) within 1 month of Baseline.
