Trial Outcomes & Findings for Symptomatic Treatment Of Patients With Neuropathic Pain With LYRICA (NCT NCT00843284)

NCT ID: NCT00843284

Last Updated: 2021-02-10

Results Overview

Change is observed value at final visit (Week 8 or discontinuation) minus baseline value. Daily average pain score is measured using a 10-point Likert scale where 0 = no pain to 10 = pain as bad as you can imagine.

Recruitment status

Participant Flow

The study was conducted at 23 sites in Greece by investigators contracted by and under the direction of the sponsor. This study was performed by office-based physicians and in hospitals.

This study enrolled subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of neuropathic pain, according to the neuropathic pain diagnostic (DN4) Questionnaire, completed by the investigator at baseline

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Final Visit (Week 8 or discontinuation)

Population: Full analysis set (FAS). Full analysis set was derived from the set of all enrolled subjects who were administered the study medication and had post baseline documentation of efficacy. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used.

Change is observed value at final visit (Week 8 or discontinuation) minus baseline value. Daily average pain score is measured using a 10-point Likert scale where 0 = no pain to 10 = pain as bad as you can imagine.

Change is observed value at final visit (Week 8 or discontinuation) minus baseline value. Pain related sleep interference is measured by a 10-point Likert scale where 0 = does not interfere with sleep, and 10 = completely interferes with sleep

Timeframe: Baseline, Final Visit (Week 8 or discontinuation)

Population: Full analysis set (FAS). Full analysis set was derived from the set of all enrolled subjects who were administered the study medication and had post baseline documentation of efficacy. Last observation carried forward method (LOCF) was used.

The presence of anxiety and depression symptoms were measured, based on how often the subject felt a certain emotion over the past week. Q1:Have you felt calm and relaxed? Q2: Have you felt full of energy? Q3: Have you felt discouraged and sad? Final Visit = Week 8 or time of discontinuation.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Final Visit (Week 8 or discontinuation)

Population: Full analysis set (FAS). Full analysis set was derived from the set of all enrolled subjects who were administered the study medication and had post baseline documentation of efficacy. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used. Three subjects were not included in the analysis due to incomplete case report forms.

Clinician Global Improvement of Change (CGIC) indicates the change of the severity of the condition from baseline, graded from "very much improved" to "very much worse".
