NCT ID: NCT01200524

Last Updated: 2014-04-25

Results Overview

Participant Flow

The first participant was enrolled on 6th October 2010 and the last participant completed on 3rd April 2012. A total of 36 centres in France, Denmark, Poland, Russia, UK, Sweden and Bulgaria randomised 133 participants.

The study had an enrolment phase of up to 30 days (including wash-out period), a 28-day treatment phase, and a follow-up phase of 7-14 days. Participants were randomly assigned to blinded treatment in a 1:1:1 ratio either to AZD2423 20 mg, AZD2423 150 mg or placebo.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 1) to Day 29 (Visit 7)

Population: mITT analysis set including only those that had adequate NPSI data at baseline and Day 29

LOCF- Last Observation Carried Forward. At baseline and at end of treatment the participants filled in their Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory Scal (NPSI) pain symptom descriptors, recall period 24 hours. Each descriptor was rated on a NUmerical Rating Scale 0-10; 0=No (symptom), 10=Worst (symptom) imaginable. The NPSI Total Score was calculated as the sum of 10 of the NPSI descriptors. Higher total score is considered worse outcome.
