Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Neridronic Acid in CRPS

Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial Investigating the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Neridronic Acid in Subjects With Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

The aim of this trial was to investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous neridronic acid in subjects with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

The trial consisted of an Enrollment Period lasting up to 60 days, Treatment Period A consisting of 4 infusions (neridronic acid or placebo) over 10 days, and a Follow-up Period 1 until Week 26.

At Week 26, participants not meeting the pre-specified criteria to continue into Treatment Period B continued in Follow-up Period 2 until Week 52. Participants meeting the pre-specified criteria entered the open-label Treatment Period B with 4 additional infusions (neridronic acid) over 10 days and follow-up visits until Week 52.

• Male or female participant at least 18 years of age at Visit 1.
• A diagnosis of CRPS according to the clinical diagnostic criteria recommended by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP; "Budapest clinical criteria"), assessed at Visit 1. Signs and symptoms of CRPS must apply to an affected limb (arm or leg) and must demonstrate asymmetry with respect to the contralateral limb. The CRPS duration must be 2 years or less since onset of symptoms.
• A baseline average pain intensity score of greater than or equal to 4 using an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS), referring to the CRPS-affected limb (average of pain recorded over 7 days). The baseline average pain intensity score will be calculated automatically by the electronic diary, which must be checked prior to allocation at Visit 2. A participant who has not met average baseline pain intensity requirements (at least 4 average pain intensity ratings) due to lack of compliance with the electronic diary may be rescheduled for Visit 2 (1 time only), with appropriate re-training to ensure compliance with use of the electronic diary.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Average Pain Intensity Score (Weekly Average of Pain Values Recorded Daily in the Electronic Diary)	In the Baseline Phase and in Treatment Period A/Follow-up Period 1, participants were asked to assessed their average CRPS-related pain on an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS) - from 0 = "no pain" to 10 = "pain as bad as you can imagine" and report it once daily (in the evening, 24-hour recall) in an electronic diary. Changes from baseline (average for the Baseline Phase) to the weekly average for Week 12 were calculated.	From the Baseline Phase (Day -7 to Day -1) to Week 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change From Baseline to Week 26 in the Average Pain Intensity Recorded on the Tablet Computer.	11-point NRS - from 0 = "no pain" to 10 = "pain as bad as you can imagine" - reported at the visits on a tablet computer (24-hour recall). Changes from baseline to Week 26 were planned to be analyzed.	From baseline (Visit 2 [Day 1]) to Visit 11 (Week 26)
Pain Response to Treatment, Defined as at Least 30% Decrease From Baseline in the Average Pain Intensity at Week 12, Recorded on the Tablet Computer.	11-point NRS - from 0 = "no pain" to 10 = "pain as bad as you can imagine" - reported at the visits on a tablet computer (24-hour recall). The number of participants with response at Week 12 was planned to be determined.	From baseline (Visit 2 [Day 1]) to Visit 8 (Week 12)
Pain Response to Treatment, Defined as at Least 30% Decrease From Baseline in the Average Pain Intensity at Week 26, Recorded on the Tablet Computer.	11-point NRS - from 0 = "no pain" to 10 = "pain as bad as you can imagine" - reported at the visits on a tablet computer (24-hour recall). The number of participants with response at Week 26 was planned to be determined.	From baseline (Visit 2 [Day 1]) to Visit 11 (Week 26)
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Pain Intensity Level of Dynamic Mechanical Allodynia (DMA).	Dynamic mechanical allodynia: a tactile stimulus is applied in a single sweeping motion (1 cm to 2 cm length) on the skin on the affected limb. The participants are asked to judge the stimulus intensity by means of an NRS (0 to 10). "0" in this case means "no pain". Each "pricking", "stinging" or "burning" sensation is defined as a painful sensation, which should always be evaluated by giving a value greater than "0". "10" corresponds to the individual maximum pain imaginable. Change from baseline was planned to analyzed.	From baseline (Visit 2 [Day 1]) to Visit 8 (Week 12)
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) Ratio for the Thenar Muscle/Abductor Hallucis Muscle.	Pressure pain threshold: using a pressure algometer (contact area 1 cm2), the threshold for pressure-induced pain is measured on the thenar muscle/abductor hallucis muscle in 3 series of slowly increasing stimulus intensities (at a rate of about 50 kPa/s). The threshold is then determined as the arithmetic mean of the 3 series (in kPa). The ratio of the thresholds of the affected limb versus the unaffected limb was planned to be calculated.	From baseline (Visit 2 [Day 1]) to Visit 8 (Week 12)
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Ratio of the Figure of Eight Measurements of the Affected Limb Versus the Unaffected Limb.	In participants with the CRPS sign of edema on the CRPS severity score at baseline, circumference of the hand or foot will be measured by the investigator with measurement tape using the figure-of-eight method at both the affected limb and the contralateral unaffected limb. Each measurement will be performed 3 times. The average of the 3 measurements will be used for further analysis. The ratio of the averages of the affected limb versus the unaffected limb was planned to be calculated and used for the determination of the change from baseline.	From baseline (Visit 2 [Day 1]) to Visit 8 (Week 12)
