Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy of Cunermuspir on Energy, Strength, and Fatigue in Patients With Nerve or Muscle Pain (NCT NCT04737278)

NCT ID: NCT04737278

Last Updated: 2021-04-20

Results Overview

Quality of life was assessed by using the Individualized Neuromuscular Quality of Life Questionnaire (INQoL) Answers to symptom questions are scored from 0 to 6 or 7 with 0 being "none at all" and and 6 to 7 being "an extreme amount" There are three questions regarding pain. The pain score is (a+b+c)/19 x100. The higher the score, the greater the symptom impact.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline and 28 days after enrollment

Population: Three patients were lost to followup.Four other patients had testing issues that the study investigators deemed them to be removed from baseline and day 28 analyses. This is why there are not 28 patients represented in baseline whereas there are in toxicology related outcome measures.

Physical function in performing household chores was assessed using the Revised Symptom Impact Questionnaire (SQIR) For each household chore participants are asked to check 1 of 11 boxes between "no difficulty" and "extremely difficult" No difficulty is scored as 0 and extreme difficulty with the task is scored as 10. The higher the score, the more difficulty experienced performing the chore. Friend \& Bennett Arthritis Res \& Therapy 2011. Household chores are just one module with 9 questions for a maximum of 90 points. These scores are summed and divided by 3. Module 2 relates to the emotional impact with only two questions for a total of 20 points. Module 3 relates to physical symptoms with a total of ten questions worth a maximum of 100 points. This score is divided by 2. The three modules are summed for a total impact score of 100 points. A score of 0 indicates absolutely no impact and a score of 100 the greatest possible impact.

Cognition is the mental process of knowing, including aspects such as awareness, perception, reasoning, and judgment. The mini-mental state exam (MMSE) puts a number to "cognition." Any score of 24 or more out of a total 30 points is considered normal cognition. A test taker may be asked to orientate in space and time by recalling aspects of the physical location as well as month, day, year, and perhaps season. Simple mathematical calculations like counting backwards from 100 by seven may also be included. A complex command such as redrawing geometric figures scores six points in this exam. Since none of the participates were cognitively impaired, the investigators decided to make obtaining a perfect score on this exam an outcome measure.

Population: By day 28 three participants were lost to followup: two in the Cunermuspir group and one in the placebo group. There were issues in handling of one platelet sample in the Cunermuspir group. This brings the number in the Cunermuspir group down to 25 on day 28. For technical reasons, platelet data are missing for subject 021. All other blood cell data are present in this report of data.

The proportion of subjects experiencing one or more AEs were compared between groups, separately for each body system and for all AEs combined.
