Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Gefapixant (MK-7264) in Japanese Adult Participants With Refractory or Unexplained Chronic Cough (MK-7264-038) (NCT NCT03696108)

NCT ID: NCT03696108

Last Updated: 2021-11-01

Results Overview

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 12

Population: All randomized participants who have taken at least one dose of study treatment and provided at least one baseline and one post-baseline endpoint observations during the treatment period.

The LCQ is a 19-item cough-specific health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaire which contains three domains (physical, psychological and social), calculated as a mean score for each domain ranging from 1 to 7 and total score ranging from 3 to 21. Each item on the LCQ is assessed using a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 to 7. Higher scores indicate better HRQoL. The least squares mean of the change from baseline is based on a longitudinal analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model.

Each item on the LCQ is assessed using a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 to 7. Higher scores indicate better HRQoL. A clinically meaningful improvement from baseline in HRQoL was defined as ≥1.3-point increase in the LCQ total score at weeks 4, 8, 12, 24, 38 and 52 of treatment.
