Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study For Pregabalin In Patients With Fibromyalgia (NCT NCT01387607)

NCT ID: NCT01387607

Last Updated: 2021-01-28

Results Overview

Assessment of mean pain score was based on participant's daily pain diary. The daily pain diary consisted of an 11-point numeric rating scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). The participants rated their pain during the past 24 hours by choosing the appropriate number between 0 and 10. Self-assessment was performed daily at awakening. The endpoint mean pain score was defined as the mean of the Week 14 pain diary entries in the double-blind treatment phase. Baseline was defined as the mean of last 7 pain diary entries up to and including Day 1.

A 1-week taper off dose phase was in the following with pregabalin 150 mg or 225 mg administered in the morning and 75 mg administered in the evening.
Placebo
Placebo matched to pregabalin 75 mg (1 capsule) was administered twice daily (BID) (Day 0 evening - Day 7 morning) and 150 mg (1 capsule) BID (Day 7 evening - Day 14 morning) in the titration phase. Placebo was then administered as matched to pregabalin 150 mg (1 capsule) BID or 225 mg (2 capsules; 75 mg + 150 mg) BID in Day 14 evening and Weeks 3 - 14 during the fixed-dose phase. A 1-week taper off dose phase was in the following with placebo matched to pregabalin 150 mg or 225 mg administered in the morning and 75 mg administered in the evening. Number of capsules taken daily with placebo matched the number taken for the assigned pregabalin dose level.

The Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) was a participant-rated instrument that measured change in participant's overall status on a scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse), which was based on a validated scale, the Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC). Categories were defined based on the PGIC scores as followed: 1 = very much improved, 2 = much improved, 3 = minimally improved, 4 = no change, 5 = minimally worse, 6 = much worse and 7 = very much worse.

Population: The Full Analysis Set (FAS) was defined as all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used.

The Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) was a 20-item participant-reported outcome instrument designed to assess health status, progress, and outcomes in participants with fibromyalgia. It contained 10 subscales. There were 11 questions that are related specifically to physical functioning. The remaining items assessed pain, fatigue, stiffness, difficulty working, and symptoms of anxiousness and depression. Score range for each subscale was 0 to 10. The 10 subscales were combined to yield a total score with range from 0 to 100. The total score provided an estimation of fibromyalgia impact with higher scores indicating greater impairment.

The Medical Outcomes Study (MOS)-Sleep Scale was a participant-rated questionnaire consisting of 12 items that assess key constructs of sleep. Instrument scoring yields 7 subscales (sleep disturbance, snoring, awaken short of breath or with a headache, quantity of sleep, optimal sleep, sleep adequacy, and somnolence) as well as a 9-item overall sleep problems index.

The Daily Sleep Interference Scale was an 11-point numerical scale ranging from 0 (does not interfere with sleep) to 10 (completely interferes \[unable to sleep due to pain\]). Participants were asked to describe how their pain had interfered with their sleep during the past 24 hours by choosing the appropriate number between 0 and 10. Self-assessment was performed daily upon awakening. Baseline Mean Sleep Interference score was defined as the mean of all available last 7 sleep interference score diary entries up to and including Day 1.

A 1-week taper off dose phase was in the following with pregabalin 150 mg or 225 mg administered in the morning and 75 mg administered in the evening.

n=164 Participants
Placebo matched to pregabalin 75 mg (1 capsule) was administered twice daily (BID) (Day 0 evening - Day 7 morning) and 150 mg (1 capsule) BID (Day 7 evening - Day 14 morning) in the titration phase. Placebo was then administered as matched to pregabalin 150 mg (1 capsule) BID or 225 mg (2 capsules; 75 mg + 150 mg) BID in Day 14 evening and Weeks 3 - 14 during the fixed-dose phase. A 1-week taper off dose phase was in the following with placebo matched to pregabalin 150 mg or 225 mg administered in the morning and 75 mg administered in the evening. Number of capsules taken daily with placebo matched the number taken for the assigned pregabalin dose level.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Follow up (Day 105)

Population: The Safety Analysis Set was defined as all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication.

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a product or medical device. A Serious adverse event (SAE) was any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that resulted in death; was life-threatening (immediate risk of death); required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability (substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions); congenital anomaly/birth defect. Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) were events between first dose of study drug and up to follow-up visit (Study Day 105) that were absent before treatment or that worsened after treatment. AEs included both SAEs and non-SAEs.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Follow up (Day 105)

Population: The Safety Analysis Set was defined as all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication.

A mild Adverse Event (AE) was an AE that did not interfere with participant's usual function. A moderate AE was an AE that interfered participant's usual function to some extent. A severe AE was an AE that interfered significantly with participant's usual function.
