Evaluation of the Impact of Training on Outcome Measures in Subjects With Painful Diabetic Neuropathy

January 16, 2013 updated by: Analgesic Solutions

Evaluation of the Impact of Subject and Staff Training on the Pregabalin vs. Placebo Difference in Subjects With Painful Diabetic Neuropathy (PDN)

The difference between active treatment and placebo in a clinical trial of an analgesic appears to depend on a variety of factors other than the actual efficacy of the drug itself, including various aspects of study design and conduct. One potential such factor is how information about the study is presented to research staff and patients. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of different presentations of information on the difference between pregabalin and placebo observed in a clinical trial in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy.

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.

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 and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.
