Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate the effect of repeat oral dosing of CNV2197944 75 mg tid on the pain experienced in post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) as measured by changes in PI-NRS after three weeks of treatment compared to the baseline period.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A 3 week randomised crossover study to investigate the effect of repeat oral dosing of CNV2197944 75 mg tid versus placebo for on the pain experienced in post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN. Each 3 week treatment period is seperated by a 2 week washout period. The primary outcome measure is the change from baseline in the PI-NRS after three weeks of treatment. Secondary outcome measures include pain responder rates, clinical and patient global impressions of pain, and the Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory.

Male or female between 18 and 85 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.

Patients with post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) with pain at screening present for more than 3 months after healing of the herpes zoster skin rash. The maximum duration of PHN will be no longer than 5 years.

Exclusion Criteria
