Trial Outcomes & Findings for Vision Testing in Patients With Partial Seizures Receiving Either Lyrica or Placebo (NCT NCT00351611)

NCT ID: NCT00351611

Last Updated: 2021-04-13

Results Overview

In this primary outcome measure, percentage of participants is reported, with a decrease in the threshold value from baseline to Week 12 or termination in any 5 or more points (in either eye) at the p\<0.05 level repeated in the same 5 points on subsequent computerized automated perimetry testing (Humphrey 24-2 SITA standard). It was derived from the Humphrey 24-2 SITA standard visual field analyzer. For each eye there were 52 test points. For each test point, the Humphrey analyzer determined the threshold value for sensitivity to light by the participant. In addition, for each of the 52 points, the test provided probabilities (p\<0.05, p\<0.02, etc.) that a participant with normal vision of the same age would have the same result, i.e., that the measured value at that point was at or below the respective percentile of the age-specific empiric distribution at that position of the field for normal participants.

Pregabalin
Participants were randomized to receive pregabalin. In Week 1 (titration), participants received pregabalin 150 milligram per day (mg/day) as 75 mg oral capsules twice daily. From Week 2 to 12, participants received pregabalin 300 mg/day as 150 mg oral capsules twice daily. In Week 13 (tapering), participants received 150 mg/day as 75 mg oral capsules twice daily. Participants were followed up from Week 14 to 15. If participants not tolerated 300 mg/day dose, they were discontinued from the study.
Placebo
Participants were randomized to receive placebo matched to pregabalin from Week 1 to 13 and were followed up from Week 14 to 15.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 12 or Early Termination (any time up to Week 12)

Population: Per protocol population included all participants randomized to treatment who received at least 1 dose of study medication and excluded participants who had a decrease in at least 5 points at termination but did not return for a repeat test.

In this primary outcome measure, percentage of participants is reported, with a decrease in the threshold value from baseline to Week 12 or termination in any 5 or more points (in either eye) at the p\<0.05 level repeated in the same 5 points on subsequent computerized automated perimetry testing (Humphrey 24-2 SITA standard). It was derived from the Humphrey 24-2 SITA standard visual field analyzer. For each eye there were 52 test points. For each test point, the Humphrey analyzer determined the threshold value for sensitivity to light by the participant. In addition, for each of the 52 points, the test provided probabilities (p\<0.05, p\<0.02, etc.) that a participant with normal vision of the same age would have the same result, i.e., that the measured value at that point was at or below the respective percentile of the age-specific empiric distribution at that position of the field for normal participants.

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 12 or Early Termination (any time up to Week 12)

Population: ITT population included all participants randomized to treatment, who received at least 1 dose of study medication. Here, "Overall Number of Participants Analyzed" refers to those participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

Mean deviation (MD) is a global index of visual field depression. The MD ranges from 0 decibels (no defect) to about -32 decibels (end-stage damage), higher scores indicate worse condition. It is derived from the Humphrey 24-2 SITA standard visual field analyzer. Change in mean deviation score from baseline to Week 12 or termination was computed for each participant. As planned, for each participant, the worst eye (eye with the greatest decrease in mean deviation) was used in the analysis and data is reported for same.

Population: ITT population included all participants randomized to treatment, who received at least 1 dose of study medication. Here, "Overall Number of Participants Analyzed" refers to those participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

Visual acuity best-corrected (with glasses or best possible glasses prescription) was measured using early treatment diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) charts. There were 2 ETDRS charts. The letters on chart A were read using the right eye and on chart B using the left eye. The participants started from the top of the chart to down. The participants read down the chart until they reached a row where a minimum of 3 letters on a line could not be read. The participants were scored by number of letters identified correctly. Range was from 0 to 70, with higher scores indicate better visual acuity. As planned, for each participant, the worst eye (eye with the greatest decrease in visual acuity) was used in the analysis and data is reported for same.
