Efficacy and Safety of 20 mg (2 Tablets of 10mg)VAC BNO 1095 FCT on Cyclic Mastodynia and PMS

Prospective, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group, Multi-centre Randomized Clinical Trial to Proof Efficacy and Safety of 20 mg (2 Tablets of 10 mg) VAC BNO 1095 FCT in Patients Suffering From Cyclic Mastodynia and PMS

The purpose of this study is to proof the efficacy and safety of 20 mg (2 tablets of 10 mg) VAC BNO 1095 film-coated tablets in patients suffering from cyclic mastodynia and PMS (pre menstrual syndrome).

Study Overview

• Status: Terminated
• Conditions: Mastodynia; Premenstrual Syndrome
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Placebo; Drug: 20mg VAC BNO 1095 FCT

Detailed Description

The study consists of a 2-cycle run-in period, followed by 3 cycles of treatment. After first screening at S-2 further visits are scheduled after the end of each of the first and second run-in cycle, and after the first, second and third treatment cycle, respectively.

At least 220 patients should be eligible for randomisation, 110 to each treatment group, of which 160 (80 per group) will be available for data evaluation.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Maximum severity of cyclic breast pain	Maximum severity of cyclic breast pain after 3 months treatment under Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP). The severity of cyclic breast pain will be self-assessed by the patient on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).	after 3 months treatment under Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame

The severity of cyclic breast pain will be self-assessed by the patient on a VAS; Average severity of cyclic mastodynia, determined in the late luteal phase of each of the treatment cycles.; Intensity of PMS assessed by means of a PMS diary (COPE = calendar of premenstrual experiences) during each of the treatment cycles; Overall assessments of efficacy on cyclic mastodynia and PMS by patient and investigator at study end by a score ranging from 1 to 5; Subgroup analysis: A. Patients with the waist circumference ≤ 90 cm B. Patients with the waist circumference > 90 cm. For both subgroups A. and B.: Maximum severity of cyclic breast pain after 3 months treatment under IMP. The severity of cyclic breast pain will be self-assessed by the patient on a VAS.
