Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Clonidine Hydrochloride Topical Gel, 0.1% in the Treatment of Pain Associated With Diabetic Neuropathy (NCT NCT02068027)

NCT ID: NCT02068027

Last Updated: 2017-09-26

Results Overview

The Numeric Pain Rating Scale is a single reading that measures the patients interpretation of their pain on a scale from 0, no pain to 10, worst pain imaginable. The change from baseline can range from -10 to 10. The change from Baseline (averaged over Day -14 to Day -8) to End-of-Treatment (averaged over Days 78 to 84 \[±3 days\]) in the Numeric Pain Rating Scale score assessing the "average pain in the past 24 hours in the painful areas of the feet" averaged over Days 78 to 84 compared to the 7 days at the Baseline Phase (Days -14 to -8). For the primary efficacy endpoint, the mean change in pain intensity from Baseline to Week 12 was analyzed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with the Baseline pain intensity score serving as a covariate. The statistical model also included treatment, site, site by treatment interaction, and strata. If the site by treatment interaction term was not significant at the 0.1 level, then it was excluded from the model.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: The change from Baseline (worse over Day -14 to Day -8) to End-of-Treatment (worse over Days 78 to 84 [±3 days])

The Numeric Pain Rating Scale is a single reading that measures the patients interpretation of their pain on a scale from 0, no pain to 10, worst pain imaginable. The change from baseline can range from -10 to 10. The change from Baseline (worst score from Day -14 to Day -8) to End-of-Treatment (worst score during Days 78 to 84 \[±3 days\]) in the Numeric Pain Rating Scale score assessing the "worst pain in the past 24 hours in the painful areas of the feet" from Days 78 to 84 compared to the 7 days at the Baseline Phase (Days -14 to -8). For the endpoint, the change in worst pain intensity from Baseline to Week 12 was analyzed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with the Baseline worst pain intensity score serving as a covariate. The statistical model also included treatment, site, site by treatment interaction, and strata. If the site by treatment interaction term was not significant at the 0.1 level, then it was excluded from the model.
