Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients require a diagnosis of post-traumatic peripheral neuropathic pain (NeP), including post-surgical NeP and NeP due to peripheral nerve injury, which has lasted at least 3 months following the traumatic event.
  • Patients during the screening week must have completed ≥ 4 daily pain scores and have an average daily pain score ≥ 4.
  • Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test at Screening and be practicing an acceptable form of contraception.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with neuropathic pain (NeP) that is not due to trauma; e.g. patients with trigeminal neuralgia, central pain, complex region pain syndrome type I, phantom limb pain, radiculopathy, painful diabetic neuropathy or post-herpetic neuralgia or patients with any other co-existing pain which cannot be differentiate from NeP of peripheral origin.
  • Patients who have previously failed to respond to pregabalin at a total daily dose of equal to or greater than 300 mg or are intolerant to those doses.
  • Patients who have previously failed to respond to gabapentin at a total daily dose of equal to or greater than 1800 mg.
  • Patients with any type or history of malignancy, except either where there has been no ongoing treatment for at least 6 months or all basal cell carcinomas; all patients with a history of brain or spinal tumors will be excluded.
  • Patients who currently have ongoing litigation related to any injury affecting their pain symptomatology.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline to Treatment Week 2 in Daily Pain Rating Scale
Time Frame: Week 0 to Week 2, Week 4 to Week 6 (Baseline to Week 2 [End of Treatment] for each treatment period)
Daily Pain Rating Scale by treatment and sequence using an 11-point Likert scale: range 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) over the past 24 hours. Self-assessment was performed daily on rising from bed (for the final time in the case of interrupted sleep). Average daily pain score: mean of the previous 7 days daily pain scores. Baseline was defined as the mean of the last 7 pre-treatment pain scores for each period. End of treatment was defined as the mean of the last 7 on treatment pain scores for each period.
Week 0 to Week 2, Week 4 to Week 6 (Baseline to Week 2 [End of Treatment] for each treatment period)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI)
Time Frame: Week 0 to Week 2, Week 4 to Week 6 (Baseline to End of Treatment in Treatment Periods 1 and 2)
NPSI at end of treatment: 10-item self-administered questionnaire assessing 5 dimensions of pain (burning superficial spontaneous pain, pressing deep spontaneous pain, paroxysmal pain, evoked pain, and paresthesia/dysesthesia). Each item consists of a question about the specific qualities of pain and an 11-point numerical scale range: 0 (absence of pain) to 10 (maximum intensity imaginable), and 2 temporal items related to spontaneous and paroxysmal pain. Maximum total score possible = 100.
Week 0 to Week 2, Week 4 to Week 6 (Baseline to End of Treatment in Treatment Periods 1 and 2)
Subject Activity as Captured by the Actiwatch Score Device: Total Activity Score at End of Treatment
Time Frame: Week 0 to Week 2, Week 4 to Week 6 (Baseline to End of Treatment in Treatment Periods 1 and 2)
Total activity score: Day (8 am to 8 pm) at end of treatment. Accelerometer measured physical activity by monitoring degree and intensity of body motion. Data is reported as activity counts. Subject activity was collected hourly for the variables: peak, average, and total activity. Higher score indicates greater activity (no activity = 0; total possible score was not defined).
Week 0 to Week 2, Week 4 to Week 6 (Baseline to End of Treatment in Treatment Periods 1 and 2)
