Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of NGX-4010 for the Treatment of Painful HIV-Associated Neuropathy (NCT NCT00321672)

NCT ID: NCT00321672

Last Updated: 2011-06-14

Results Overview

Efficacy was assessed by daily Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) capturing "average pain for the past 24 hours" for painful HIV-associated neuropathy area(s) at approximately 9 PM every evening throughout the 12-week study period. The NPRS is an 11-point scale (0 to 10) with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the worst possible pain.

Measure
NGX-4010, 60 Minutes
Treatment with capsaicin patches consisted of a one time application administered at any time of the day on Study Day 0. Subjects were randomized to receive NGX 4010 (high concentration capsaicin, 640 mcg/cm\^2) for 60 minutes.
Control Group, 60 Minutes
Treatment consisted of a one time application administered at any time of the day on Study Day 0. Subjects were randomized to receive a Control patch (low concentration capsaicin, 3.2 mcg/cm\^2) for 60 minutes. The low dose of 3.2 mcg/cm\^2 (0.04% w/w) used as the Control in this study was selected because it was expected to cause perceptible local sensation, thereby preserving the blind.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Weeks 2-12

Population: Analyses were intention to treat (ITT). A modified last observation carried forward (LOCF) approach was used to impute missing data. Each NGX-4010 group was compared with its respective control group.

Efficacy was assessed by daily Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) capturing "average pain for the past 24 hours" for painful HIV-associated neuropathy area(s) at approximately 9 PM every evening throughout the 12-week study period. The NPRS is an 11-point scale (0 to 10) with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the worst possible pain.

Measure
NGX-4010, 60 Minutes
n=165 participants at risk
Treatment with capsaicin patches consisted of a one time application administered at any time of the day on Study Day 0. Subjects were randomized to receive NGX 4010 (high concentration capsaicin, 640 mcg/cm\^2) for 60 minutes.
Control Group, 60 Minutes
n=90 participants at risk
Treatment consisted of a one time application administered at any time of the day on Study Day 0. Subjects were randomized to receive a Control patch (low concentration capsaicin, 3.2 mcg/cm\^2) for 60 minutes. The low dose of 3.2 mcg/cm\^2 (0.04% w/w) used as the Control in this study was selected because it was expected to cause perceptible local sensation, thereby preserving the blind.
NGX-4010, 30 Minutes
n=167 participants at risk
Treatment with capsaicin patches consisted of a one time application administered at any time of the day on Study Day 0. Subjects were randomized to receive NGX 4010 (high concentration capsaicin, 640 mcg/cm\^2) for 30 minutes.
Control Group , 30 Minutes
n=72 participants at risk
Treatment consisted of a one time application administered at any time of the day on Study Day 0. Subjects were randomized to receive a Control patch (low concentration capsaicin, 3.2 mcg/cm\^2) for 30 minutes. The low dose of 3.2 mcg/cm\^2 (0.04% w/w) used as the Control in this study was selected because it was expected to cause perceptible local sensation, thereby preserving the blind.
NGX-4010 Total
