Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The change in the modified Overall Neuropathy Limitation Scale (ONLS) between
baseline and the Month 15 visit.
Secondary outcome
The change from baseline to month 15 in the following outcome measures in
hierarchical order:
1) 10-Meter Walk Test (10mWT)
2) Quantified Muscular Testing (bilateral foot dorsiflexion dynamometry)
3) Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S)
4) Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C)*
5) Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy Score, version 2 (CMTNS-v2)
6) Quantified Muscular Testing (hand grip)
* Because the PGI-C is already a change assessment, the change from Baseline is
not needed for this endpoint.
Background summary
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is a type of inherited neurological
disorder that affects the nerves. CMT1A is caused by having an extra copy of
the PMP22 gene. This causes the shell of the nerves to breakdown.
People with this disease experience weakness and wasting (atrophy) of the
muscles of the lower legs beginning in teenage years; later they can also have
hand weakness and sensory loss. Treatment for this disease may include physical
therapy; occupational therapy; braces and other orthopedic devices; orthopedic
surgery; and pain medications. These treatments are not sufficient to limit
impairment of motor function and worsening of disability.
PXT3003 is designed to target the effect of the extra PMP22 gene copy and limit
further progression of the disease
Study objective
Primary:
To evaluate the efficacy of treatment with PXT3003 (a fixed-dose combination of
(RS)-baclofen, naltrexone hydrochloride, and D-sorbitol) compared to placebo in
subjects with CMT1A.
Secondary:
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of PXT3003 treatment in subjects with
CMT1A.
Study design
Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo controlled intervention study
Intervention
One group will receive two stick-packs with PXT3003 twice daily and the second
group will receive two stick-packs with placebo twice daily.
Study burden and risks
During the treatment period we will carry out these checks:
* Physical examination.
* Neurlogical examination. (Only at first visit of treatment period)
* General questions on how you feel and if you have any side effects. We will
also check your current use of medication. (At each hospital visit and during
the telephone calls)
* Blood collection. The investigator takes 1-4 tubes of blood at a time. During
the study, we will collect 148 ml of blood from you. This amount does not cause
any problems in adults. For comparison: if you give blood at the blood bank,
you will give 500 ml of blood at a time. With the blood test, we test these
things:
o Your general health
o What your body does to the study medication. For this we will take blood
before you take your dose of study medication in the hospital and 90 minutes
after you took the study medication. (4x)
o What the study medication does to your body.
* Urine test. This is done to test your general health (3x) and if applicable,
to test for pregnancy (3x).
* Nerve conduction test (4x).
* Heart ultrasound.
* Questionnaires. We will ask you to complete several questionnaires on your
mental and physical health.
* Walking test. You will be asked to do a 10 meter walking test.
* Strength measurements. Your hand and foot strength will be measured (4x).
The possible side effects that you could experience when having treatment with
PXT3003 could include:
* Nausea
* Indigestion
* Diarrhea
* Constipation
* Stomach pain
* Dry mouth
* A cold
* Headache
* Fatigue
* Weakness
* Sleepiness or inability to sleep
* Dizziness
* Ringing in the ears
* Joint/muscle pain
* Muscle spasm
Allergic Reactions
As with taking any medication, there is a risk of allergic reaction. If you
have a very serious allergic reaction, you may be at risk of death. Some
symptoms of an allergic reactions are: shortness of breath, itchy rash (hives)
or swelling, flushing (feeling warm), low blood pressure, and slow heart rate.
You should get medical help and contact the study doctor or staff if you have
any of these or any other side effects during the study.
Blood Sampling
To take blood from you, a needle will be inserted into your vein. The risks of
taking blood include fainting and pain, bruising, swelling, or rarely,
infection where the needle was inserted. The total amount of blood to be
collected during your participation in this research study will be
approximately 148 mL. This does not include possible additional blood that may
be collected during unscheduled visits or tests.
Heart Ultrasound
The sticky pads placed on your skin for the ECG may sometimes cause some skin
irritation, such as redness or itching.
Nerve conduction test
To assess how well your nerves are relaying electrical messages, sticky
electrodes which can detect electrical signals will be placed on the skin. De
nerve will then be stimulated with little electric shocks on different places.
This can be experienced as painful during the test.
Risks to an Unborn Child
This study can have consequences for an unborn child. The consequences are not
known. The investigator will tell you how best to prevent pregnancy. Talk to
your partner about this.
If you are exclusively in a same-sex sexual relationship, you are not required
to use a method of contraception for this study as listed below.

Inclusion criteria
1. Male and non-pregnant female subjects, aged 16 to 65 years with a
genetically proven diagnosis of CMT1A.
2. Able to provide written informed consent/assent and comply with study
procedures.
3. Mild-to-moderate severity assessed by a CMTNS-V2 score >2 and *18.
4. Muscle weakness in at least foot dorsiflexion on clinical assessment.
5. Ulnar nerve motor conduction time of at least 15 m/s.
6. If taking prescribed psychoactive drug(s) (eg, antidepressants, stimulants,
tranquilizers, anti-epileptics) for CMT1A, should be on a stable dose for at
least 4 weeks prior to randomization, which is not planned to be changed.
7. If taking prescribed or *over-the-counter* analgesic medication(s) (eg,
paracetamol/acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) for CMT1A,
should be on a stable dose for at least 2 weeks prior to randomization, which
is not planned to be changed.

bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation; or (b) of childbearing

* Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception
associated with inhibition of ovulation:
o Oral
o Intravaginal
