9 de julio de 2026 actualizado por: Tang-Du Hospital

Efficacy and Safety of Crisugabalin in Treating Neuropathic Pain Related to Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders: a Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Exploratory Trial

This study is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled exploratory investigation conducted in China.

Descripción general del estudio

Descripción detallada

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Crisugabalin, a China-developed novel third-generation calcium channel modulator, for neuropathic pain in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Patients are randomized 1:1 to receive Crisugabalin or placebo for 2 weeks , followed by an 8-week open-label extension period .The main questions of this study aim to answer are:

Does Crisugabalin lower pain scores after 2 weeks and 10 weeks? What medical problems do participants have when taking crisugabalin? This trial is to compare Crisugabalin to a placebo for the first 2 weeks to see if it reduces pain.

Participants will:

Take Crisugabalin or a placebo twice daily for 2 weeks (double-blind) Then take Crisugabalin for 8 more weeks (open-label) Visit the clinic at weeks 1, 2, 4, and 8 Complete questionnaires about pain, sleep, spasms, anxiety, and depression Last updated on December 2, 2025

Medidas de resultado primarias

Medida de resultado
Medida Descripción
Periodo de tiempo
Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) Pain Score
Periodo de tiempo: Change from baseline in the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain score after 2 and 10 weeks of treatment

Patients rate their average pain intensity over the past 24 hours on an 11-point scale (0-10), with 0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain.

  • Min / Max: 0 / 10
  • Severity relationship:** Higher scores indicate greater pain severity. Pain levels are categorized as: Mild (1-3), Moderate (4-6), Severe (7-10)
Change from baseline in the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain score after 2 and 10 weeks of treatment

Medidas de resultado secundarias

Medida de resultado
Medida Descripción
Periodo de tiempo
Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) response rate
Periodo de tiempo: Change from baseline between Crisugabalin and placebo during the 2-week and 10 -week treatment period.
Proportion of subjects with ≥30% and ≥50% reduction in NRS from baseline between Crisugabalin and placebo during the 2-week and 10 -week treatment period
Change from baseline between Crisugabalin and placebo during the 2-week and 10 -week treatment period.
Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) score
Periodo de tiempo: Change from baseline in the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) score after 2 and 10 weeks of treatment

The Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) comprises three main components for pain assessment:

  1. Pain Rating Index (PRI): This includes 11 sensory descriptors and 4 affective descriptors. Each item is rated on a 4-point intensity scale: 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe. The PRI yields a total score ranging from 0 to 45 (sensory subscale: 0-33; affective subscale: 0-12).
  2. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS): A 10-cm unmarked horizontal line anchored by 0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain. Patients mark a cross on the line to indicate their average pain level over the past 24 hours. The score is determined by measuring the distance from the 0 end to the mark (in cm), or by reading directly from a scale on the reverse side.
  3. Present Pain Intensity (PPI): A 6-point scale ranging from 0 = no pain to 5 = excruciating pain. Patients select the level that best matches their subjective pain experience at the present moment.

Score Ranges:

PRI: 0 - 45 VAS: 0 - 10 PPI: 0 - 5

Change from baseline in the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) score after 2 and 10 weeks of treatment
Daily Sleep Interference Scale (DSIS) score
Periodo de tiempo: Change from baseline in the Daily Sleep Interference Scale (DSIS) score after 2 and 10 weeks of treatment
  • Interpretation:Patients rate how much pain interfered with sleep over the past 24 hours on a 0-10 scale, where 0 = pain does not interfere with sleep and 10 = completely unable to sleep.
  • Min / Max:0 / 10
  • Severity relationship:** Higher scores indicate greater sleep disruption due to pain.
Change from baseline in the Daily Sleep Interference Scale (DSIS) score after 2 and 10 weeks of treatment
Penn Spasm Frequency Scale (PSFS) score
Periodo de tiempo: Change from baseline in the Penn Spasm Frequency Scale (PSFS) score after 2 and 10 weeks of treatment
  • Interpretation: Two parts - spasm frequency (0-4, where higher = more frequent) and, if present, severity (1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe). If frequency = 0, severity is not assessed.
  • Min / Max:Frequency: 0-4; Severity (if spasms present): 1-3
  • Severity relationship: Higher frequency and severity scores indicate more problematic muscle spasms.
Change from baseline in the Penn Spasm Frequency Scale (PSFS) score after 2 and 10 weeks of treatment
Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) score
Periodo de tiempo: Change from baseline in the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) score after 2 and 10 weeks of treatment
  • Interpretation:A clinician-rated scale with 14 items, each scored 0 = absent, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = very severe. Total score reflects anxiety severity.
  • Min / Max: 0 / 56
  • Severity relationship: Higher total scores indicate more severe anxiety.
Change from baseline in the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) score after 2 and 10 weeks of treatment
Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) score

  • Interpretation: Clinician-rated scale for depressive symptoms. Most items scored 0 = absent, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = very severe. A few items use a 0-2 scale (0 = absent, 1 = mild-moderate, 2 = severe).
  • Min / Max:0 / 74 (approximate for 24 items)
  • Severity relationship: Higher total scores indicate more severe depression.

Incidence of adverse reactions
Periodo de tiempo: Change from baseline during 2 and 10 weeks of treatment
Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and the incidence of TEAEs during the study period for Crisugabalin and placebo.

Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) score
Periodo de tiempo: Change from baseline in the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) score after 10 weeks of treatment
  • Interpretation: A 7-point scale assessing overall improvement since treatment began.
  • 1 = Very much improved
  • 2 = Much improved
  • 3 = Minimally improved
  • 4 = No change
  • 5 = Minimally worse
  • 6 = Much worse
  • 7 = Very much worse
  • Min / Max: 1 / 7
  • Severity relationship: Lower scores indicate greater improvement; higher scores indicate worsening.

EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level(EQ-5D-5L) score
Periodo de tiempo: Change from baseline in the EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level(EQ-5D-5L) score after 10 weeks of treatment
  • Interpretation: Measures health-related quality of life across 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression), each rated 1 = no problems to 5 = extreme problems. A VAS from 0 (worst imaginable health) to 100 (best imaginable health) is also included.
  • Min / Max: Dimension scores: 1-5 per dimension; VAS: 0-100
  • Severity relationship:Higher dimension scores indicate worse function/more problems; higher VAS score indicates better overall health.
