Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pregabalin Treatment Of Peripheral Neuropathic Pain Associated With Diabetic Peripheral NeP (DPN), Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN), HIV-related NeP (HIV), and Chemotherapy Induced NeP (NCT NCT00407511)

NCT ID: NCT00407511

Last Updated: 2021-02-09

Results Overview

11 point Likert scale: range 0 to 10 (no pain to worst possible pain) over past 24 hours. Baseline score = mean score of preceding 7 days (including Visit 2). Final end of treatment (EOT) pain score = mean pain score from last 7 post-Baseline days preceding Visit 8 (Week 12) or last 7 days on study drug for those who did not complete the study. Change = mean at EOT minus mean at Baseline.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, End of Treatment

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS): patients who took at least one dose of study medication, had a baseline value, and had at least one post-baseline measurement; Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF).

11 point Likert scale: range 0 to 10 (no pain to worst possible pain) over past 24 hours. Baseline score = mean score of preceding 7 days (including Visit 2). Final end of treatment (EOT) pain score = mean pain score from last 7 post-Baseline days preceding Visit 8 (Week 12) or last 7 days on study drug for those who did not complete the study. Change = mean at EOT minus mean at Baseline.
