Background summary
Biohaven Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is developing a new drug, troriluzole, for the
treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) as well as for other
neurologic and psychiatric disorders. Troriluzole is a tripeptide prodrug of
the glutamate modulating agent riluzole that has been optimized for improved
bioavailability, pharmacokinetics and dosing. The proposed study in OCD is
based on recent preclinical, clinical and neuroimaging studies that implicate
glutamatergic hyperactivity in the pathogenesis of OCD. Additionally,
preliminary efficacy findings from BHV4157-202, a proof-of-concept study,
indicate, troriluzole 200 mg, administered once daily as adjunctive therapy in
subjects with OCD who had an inadequate response to SOC treatment showed
numerically greater improvement versus placebo in the total Y-BOCS score in the
randomization phase. Biohaven hypothesizes that the pleiotropic effects of
riluzole (e.g., glutamate modulation) may target mechanisms underlying
pathologic brain function that is associated with OCD, and thus provide
symptomatic benefit in patients suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
(OCD).
The proposed study is based on recent preclinical, clinical, genetic and
neuroimaging studies that implicate glutamatergic hyperactivity in the
pathogenesis of OCD. In multiple published clinical case studies, the use of
agents that modulate brain glutamate have been suggested to have efficacy in
patients with refractory OCD.
Study objective
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long term safety and
tolerability of troriluzole as adjunctive therapy in subjects with OCD who have
had an inadequate response to standard of care (SOC) treatment for OCD and as
defined in the parent protocols (BHV4157-302 and BHV4157-303).
Study design
BHV4157-209 is a Phase 2b/3, multicenter, 48-week open-label safety study
designed to assess safety and tolerability of troriluzole as adjunctive therapy
in subjects with OCD with the option for an additional 48-week treatment
extension.
The expected duration of study participation for each subject is up to 96
weeks, including:
• Open label Phase 48 weeks
• Extension Phase 48 weeks
• Posttreatment safety period 2 weeks
Subjects will receive open label troriluzole at a dose of 200 mg QD for the
first two (2) weeks and will then be increased to 280 mg QD for the duration of
the study.
Subjects in the Open-Label Phase will undergo visits at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 24,
36, and 48. Subjects who complete the Open-Label Phase and are continuing into
the Extension Phase will have their first visit 12 weeks after the week 48
visit at Week 60. Thereafter, subjects will undergo visits every 12 weeks at
weeks 72, 84 and 96.. All subjects will undergo a post study drug termination
visit two weeks after the last dose of study drug.
Intervention
Subjects will receive troriluzole 200 mg for the first two weeks and then will
be increased to 280 mg for the duration of the study.
Study burden and risks
Analysis of the available data with troriluzole from in-vitro studies,
preclinical studies (in rats and monkeys), and clinical studies in healthy
subjects as well as patients with OCD, GAD, SCA, and AD, supports a favorable
benefit-risk profile. Therefore, it is considered that the benefits of
evaluating troriluzole as a potential treatment for OCD outweigh the risks.

contraception, for the duration of the study.
g. The two methods should include:
i. one barrier method (e.g. diaphragm with spermicide, condom with spermicidal
