Trial Outcomes & Findings for CORAL XT - Open-label Extension Trial of the CORAL Trial (NCT NCT02031432)

NCT ID: NCT02031432

Last Updated: 2021-07-15

Results Overview

The safety of cebranopadol was assessed by the number of participants with treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs). A TEAE was any adverse event that occurred after the first administration of investigational medicinal product (IMP), i.e., cebranopadol in this study. In addition, pretreatment adverse events which worsened during the treatment period were also considered TEAEs.

Participant Flow

The first participant was enrolled on the 18 Dec 2013 (first dose taken on the 19 Dec 2013 received) and the last participant completed the trial on the 03 May 2016 (last dose taken on the 12 Apr 2016). All participants in this trial completed the maintenance period in the KF6005/07 (NCT01964378) trial.

Participants who completed treatment in KF6005/07 and who were still in need of around-the-clock pain analgesia with strong opioids directly entered the KF6005/09 trial from the KF6005/07 trial. Seventy-six participants (37 previously on cebranopadol and 39 subjects previously on morphine treatment) were enrolled in this trial.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 28 weeks (26 weeks of cebranopadol treatment and 2 weeks follow-up after the last dose)

Population: Safety Set; event-based analysis

A Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) was defined as any Adverse Event (AE) that occurred on or after the first intake of cebranopadol or a pretreatment AE which worsened during the treatment period. TEAEs were classified by the investigator as falling into 1 of 3 categories: Mild: Signs and symptoms that can be easily tolerated. Symptoms can be ignored and disappear when the participant is distracted. Moderate: Symptoms cause discomfort but are tolerable; they cannot be ignored and affect concentration. Severe: Symptoms which affect usual daily activity. For TEAE where the intensity changed over time, the maximum intensity observed during the whole duration of the adverse event was documented.

Timeframe: Baseline Visit (Day 1) to End of Treatment Visit (up to 26 weeks).

Population: Safety Set - participants with data available

Participants were asked "Please rate your pain by selecting the one number that best describes your pain on average during the last week." and scored their average pain intensity during the last week of the treatment period on an 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) where a score of 0 indicated "no pain" and a score of 10 indicated "pain as bad as you can imagine". The absolute change from baseline for the average pain intensity during the last week was determined for all participants that scored their pain intensities. A mean value for all participants was calculated.

The CPSI was completed by the participants. It measures 5 items, all on a 100-mm visual analog scale: Participant's assessment of Sleep Problem Index subscores and need for sleep medication (the lower the score the better): (1) Trouble falling asleep (0 = never; 100 = always); (2) Needing sleep medication to help fall asleep (0 = never, 100 = always); (3) Awakened by pain during the night (0 = never, 100 = always); and (4) Awakened by pain in the morning (0 = never, 100 = always). The Sleep Problem Index is the sum of items (1), (3), and (4) with a maximum score of 100 indicating maximum sleep problems. Participant's assessment of the Overall Quality of Sleep (the higher the score the better): (5) Overall quality of sleep (0 = very poor, 100 = excellent).

The number of episodes of breakthrough pain during the past week was planned to be collected. However, for some participants, the intensity of breakthrough pain for the past week has been collected instead of the incidence of breakthrough pain events. Since the values of the intensity of breakthrough pain were much higher (maximum of up to 99) than the frequency of pain events, the mean is skewed and cannot be interpreted. The median for the weekly average number of breakthrough pain episodes is less influenced by these values and is reported below.

Population: Safety Set (21 participants with neuropathic pain of 76 participants enrolled)

Participants with neuropathic pain (determined by the completion of the DN4 \[Douleur Neuropathique\] questionnaire at enrollment) rated their symptoms of neuropathic pain using the NPSI. Ten out of 12 questions (Q1-3, 5, 6, 8-12) are answered on an 11-point numerical scale (NRS) ranging from 0 (no symptom present) to 10 (worst imaginable). The NPSI Total Score was calculated as the sum of the 10 single items scored on the 11-point NRS divided by 100. The mean score is reported on a scale of 0 (no neuropathic pain components present) to 1 (all neuropathic pain components have the maximum imaginable intensity).

Participants answered 5 questions on the 5 dimensions of the EuroQol-5 Dimension Health Questionnaire: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each question has 3 possible answers reflecting 3 levels of impact on the quality of life. Each dimension was assessed on a 3-point ordinal scale (1=no problems, 2=some problems, 3=extreme problems). The responses to the 5 EQ-5D dimensions were scored using a utility-weighted algorithm to derive an EQ-5D Health Status Index score between 0 to 1 (with 1 indicating "full health" and 0 representing "dead"). The higher the values (the closer the value is to 1), the better the health status.

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 1); End of first month of treatment

Population: Safety Set; the Conversion Ratio of Morphine Prolonged Release to Cebranopadol was available for 32 of 76 participants.

For those participants, who received morphine prolonged release in the CORAL trial (KF6005/07, NCT01964378) and were, thus, switched from morphine prolonged release to cebranopadol in the CORAL XT trial, the equianalgesic doses of morphine prolonged release and cebranopadol was identified.

Population: Safety Set; number of participants with data available at the respective visit

The investigator scores the ECOG performance status for a participant on a 6-point categorical scale as follows: * 0 indicates that a participant is "fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restriction." * 1 indicates that a participant is "restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature, e.g., light house work, office work." * 2 indicates that a participant is "ambulatory and capable of all selfcare but unable to carry out any work activities. Up and about more than 50% of waking hours." * 3 indicates that a participant is "capable of only limited selfcare, confined to bed or chair more than 50% of waking hours." * 4 indicates that a participant is "completely disabled. Cannot carry on any selfcare. Totally confined to bed or chair." * 5 indicates that a participant is "dead". Mean ECOG performance status scores are calculated for the number of participants with data available.

Measure
Cebranopadol
n=76 participants at risk
Cebranopadol: Cebranopadol 200 µg to 1000 µg per day taken once a day in the morning. Subjects who completed the treatment in KF6005/07 and were willing to participate in this trial went into a Titration Phase (approximately 2 weeks). During the Titration Phase, the subjects were titrated to their individual optimal daily dose of cebranopadol, defined as a balance between self-reported analgesia and side effects.
