Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Efficacy of MK-8291 in Participants With Post-herpetic Neuralgia (PHN) With Allodynia (MK-8291-012) (NCT NCT02336555)

NCT ID: NCT02336555

Last Updated: 2019-12-09

Results Overview

Participants completed a pain intensity questionnaire, the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), in the morning prior to taking study treatment at Baseline (Day 1) in each treatment period, and then daily up to Day 28 in each treatment period. The NRS assesses the intensity of Post-herpetic Neuralgia (PHN) pain during the preceding 24-hour period on an 11-point numeric rating scale (range: 0=no pain to 10=pain as bad as you can imagine). The mean score in pain intensity of Week 4 (Days 22 to 28) minus the mean score at Baseline is presented, with a negative change representing improvement (or reduction) in pain intensity. In comparison to placebo, a reduction (difference in the change from Baseline) of 1 on the 11-point NRS is expected.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Days 22-28 of each treatment period (Up to approximately 63 days)

Population: The population consisted of participants who complied with the protocol sufficiently to ensure that these data would be likely to exhibit the effects of treatment, according to the underlying scientific model.

Participants completed a pain intensity questionnaire, the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), in the morning prior to taking study treatment at Baseline (Day 1) in each treatment period, and then daily up to Day 28 in each treatment period. The NRS assesses the intensity of Post-herpetic Neuralgia (PHN) pain during the preceding 24-hour period on an 11-point numeric rating scale (range: 0=no pain to 10=pain as bad as you can imagine). The mean score in pain intensity of Week 4 (Days 22 to 28) minus the mean score at Baseline is presented, with a negative change representing improvement (or reduction) in pain intensity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Day 28 in each treatment period (Up to approximately 63 days)

Population: The population consisted of participants who complied with the protocol sufficiently to ensure that these data would be likely to exhibit the effects of treatment, according to the underlying scientific model.

Participants completed a pain intensity questionnaire, the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) in the morning before taking study treatment at Baseline (Day 1) in each treatment period, and then daily from Day 1 up to Day 28 in each treatment period. The NRS assesses the intensity of PHN pain during the preceding 24-hour period on an 11-point numeric rating scale (range: 0=no pain to 10=pain as bad as you can imagine). This was a binary outcome denoting whether the participant reported a percent change from Baseline to Week 4 (Days 22 to 28) in the mean pain intensity score greater than 30%. The percentage of participants who reported a 30% or greater change from Baseline to Day 28 of each treatment period is presented.
