Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Test the Effectiveness of Controlled-Release OROS® Hydromorphone HCl Compared to Placebo in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain (NCT NCT00549042)

NCT ID: NCT00549042

Last Updated: 2020-06-17

Results Overview

Participants rate their pain intensity on a numeric rating scale (NRS), where 0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain, in a daily diary. At Week 12 (or final visit), all measurements during the preceding week are averaged, and the mean change from the mean score at baseline is calculated.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 12 (or final visit)

Population: Intent-to-treat population (ITT). One patient (randomized to receive OROS hydromorphone) did not report taking any study medication, and another (randomized to receive placebo) did not have Baseline values for the primary efficacy variable; both were excluded from the ITT population. Therefore, the ITT population had 266 patients.

Participants rate their pain intensity on a numeric rating scale (NRS), where 0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain, in a daily diary. At Week 12 (or final visit), all measurements during the preceding week are averaged, and the mean change from the mean score at baseline is calculated.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Baseline through Week 12

Population: Results are not presented for Other, prespecified outcome measures

Participants rate their pain on the pain intensity NRS in a daily diary. At each scheduled visit all measurements during the preceding week are collected, and a mean score for each arm is calculated for each visit. Mean scores at baseline and each subsequent visit are plotted on a graph for the entire 12-week treatment period, and an area under the curve calculation is used to determine the mean change from baseline for each arm through the entire 12-week treatment phase.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Baseline through Week 12

Population: Results are not presented for Other, prespecified outcome measures

Change from Baseline in mean PGA scores collected at each visit (at Baseline, Days 1, 4, 8, 11, and Weeks 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12) using the scale: 1=Excellent, 2=Very Good, 3=Good, 4=Fair, and 5=Poor. The worst possible score is 5.0.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Baseline through Week 12

Population: Results are not presented for Other, prespecified outcome measures

Change from baseline in the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RDQ) score was analyzed for each visit at which the RDQ was administered (Days 1, 8, and Weeks 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12). This is a 24-item inventory with scores ranging from 0 (highest ability) to 24 (lowest ability). Higher scores mean more disability.
