Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The aim of this trial was to investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous neridronic acid in subjects with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

The trial consisted of an Enrollment Period lasting up to 60 days, Treatment Period A consisting of 4 infusions (neridronic acid or placebo) over 10 days, and a Follow-up Period 1 until Week 26.

At Week 26, participants not meeting the pre-specified criteria to continue into Treatment Period B continued in Follow-up Period 2 until Week 52. Participants meeting the pre-specified criteria entered the open-label Treatment Period B with 4 additional infusions (neridronic acid) over 10 days and follow-up visits until Week 52.

100 mg neridronic acid supplied in glass vials in 8 mL of excipients.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo

Matching placebo - 4 intravenous infusions within 10 days (i.e., on Days 1, 4, 7, and 10). The IMP was diluted in sterile normal saline to a volume of approximately 500 mL before slow administration.

Drug: Placebo
Glass vials with matching placebo.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Average Pain Intensity Score (Weekly Average of Pain Values Recorded Daily in the Electronic Diary) [From the Baseline Phase (Day -7 to Day -1) to Week 12]

    In the Baseline Phase and in Treatment Period A/Follow-up Period 1, participants were asked to assessed their average CRPS-related pain on an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS) - from 0 = "no pain" to 10 = "pain as bad as you can imagine" and report it once daily (in the evening, 24-hour recall) in an electronic diary. Changes from baseline (average for the Baseline Phase) to the weekly average for Week 12 were calculated.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline to Week 26 in the Average Pain Intensity Recorded on the Tablet Computer. [From baseline (Visit 2 [Day 1]) to Visit 11 (Week 26)]

    11-point NRS - from 0 = "no pain" to 10 = "pain as bad as you can imagine" - reported at the visits on a tablet computer (24-hour recall). Changes from baseline to Week 26 were planned to be analyzed.

  2. Pain Response to Treatment, Defined as at Least 30% Decrease From Baseline in the Average Pain Intensity at Week 12, Recorded on the Tablet Computer. [From baseline (Visit 2 [Day 1]) to Visit 8 (Week 12)]

    11-point NRS - from 0 = "no pain" to 10 = "pain as bad as you can imagine" - reported at the visits on a tablet computer (24-hour recall). The number of participants with response at Week 12 was planned to be determined.

  3. Pain Response to Treatment, Defined as at Least 30% Decrease From Baseline in the Average Pain Intensity at Week 26, Recorded on the Tablet Computer. [From baseline (Visit 2 [Day 1]) to Visit 11 (Week 26)]

    11-point NRS - from 0 = "no pain" to 10 = "pain as bad as you can imagine" - reported at the visits on a tablet computer (24-hour recall). The number of participants with response at Week 26 was planned to be determined.

  4. Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Pain Intensity Level of Dynamic Mechanical Allodynia (DMA). [From baseline (Visit 2 [Day 1]) to Visit 8 (Week 12)]

    Dynamic mechanical allodynia: a tactile stimulus is applied in a single sweeping motion (1 cm to 2 cm length) on the skin on the affected limb. The participants are asked to judge the stimulus intensity by means of an NRS (0 to 10). "0" in this case means "no pain". Each "pricking", "stinging" or "burning" sensation is defined as a painful sensation, which should always be evaluated by giving a value greater than "0". "10" corresponds to the individual maximum pain imaginable. Change from baseline was planned to analyzed.

  5. Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) Ratio for the Thenar Muscle/Abductor Hallucis Muscle. [From baseline (Visit 2 [Day 1]) to Visit 8 (Week 12)]

    Pressure pain threshold: using a pressure algometer (contact area 1 cm2), the threshold for pressure-induced pain is measured on the thenar muscle/abductor hallucis muscle in 3 series of slowly increasing stimulus intensities (at a rate of about 50 kPa/s). The threshold is then determined as the arithmetic mean of the 3 series (in kPa). The ratio of the thresholds of the affected limb versus the unaffected limb was planned to be calculated.

  6. Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Ratio of the Figure of Eight Measurements of the Affected Limb Versus the Unaffected Limb. [From baseline (Visit 2 [Day 1]) to Visit 8 (Week 12)]

    In participants with the CRPS sign of edema on the CRPS severity score at baseline, circumference of the hand or foot will be measured by the investigator with measurement tape using the figure-of-eight method at both the affected limb and the contralateral unaffected limb. Each measurement will be performed 3 times. The average of the 3 measurements will be used for further analysis. The ratio of the averages of the affected limb versus the unaffected limb was planned to be calculated and used for the determination of the change from baseline.

2. Secondary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline to Week 26 in the Average Pain Intensity Recorded on the Tablet Computer.
Description 11-point NRS - from 0 = "no pain" to 10 = "pain as bad as you can imagine" - reported at the visits on a tablet computer (24-hour recall). Changes from baseline to Week 26 were planned to be analyzed.
Time Frame From baseline (Visit 2 [Day 1]) to Visit 11 (Week 26)

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
Data were not collected or analyzed because a confirmatory testing strategy was not performed as pre-specified in the protocol that secondary endpoints would only be tested if neridronic acid was superior to placebo on the primary outcome measure. A confirmatory or descriptive analysis was not performed due to early study termination.
Arm/Group Title Neridronic Acid - Treatment Period A Placebo - Treatment Period A

5. Secondary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Pain Intensity Level of Dynamic Mechanical Allodynia (DMA).
Description Dynamic mechanical allodynia: a tactile stimulus is applied in a single sweeping motion (1 cm to 2 cm length) on the skin on the affected limb. The participants are asked to judge the stimulus intensity by means of an NRS (0 to 10). "0" in this case means "no pain". Each "pricking", "stinging" or "burning" sensation is defined as a painful sensation, which should always be evaluated by giving a value greater than "0". "10" corresponds to the individual maximum pain imaginable. Change from baseline was planned to analyzed.
Time Frame From baseline (Visit 2 [Day 1]) to Visit 8 (Week 12)

6. Secondary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) Ratio for the Thenar Muscle/Abductor Hallucis Muscle.
Description Pressure pain threshold: using a pressure algometer (contact area 1 cm2), the threshold for pressure-induced pain is measured on the thenar muscle/abductor hallucis muscle in 3 series of slowly increasing stimulus intensities (at a rate of about 50 kPa/s). The threshold is then determined as the arithmetic mean of the 3 series (in kPa). The ratio of the thresholds of the affected limb versus the unaffected limb was planned to be calculated.

7. Secondary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Ratio of the Figure of Eight Measurements of the Affected Limb Versus the Unaffected Limb.
Description In participants with the CRPS sign of edema on the CRPS severity score at baseline, circumference of the hand or foot will be measured by the investigator with measurement tape using the figure-of-eight method at both the affected limb and the contralateral unaffected limb. Each measurement will be performed 3 times. The average of the 3 measurements will be used for further analysis. The ratio of the averages of the affected limb versus the unaffected limb was planned to be calculated and used for the determination of the change from baseline.

Adverse Events

Time Frame Adverse events were documented from the time of enrollment (i.e., the time the informed consent form was signed) up to the time of the last protocol scheduled contact, i.e., date of last visit/contact (could be a phone call, e.g., in case of withdrawal). Only treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs, i.e., those reported from baseline (after first administration of study medication) are reported in the tables below.
Adverse Event Reporting Description Participants with TEAEs may be presented in 2 of 6 reporting groups depending on the time the TEAEs were reported. Treatment Period A/Follow-up Period 1 (TPA): Baseline to Week 26 (Placebo or neridronic acid). Treatment Period B/Follow-up Period 2 (TPB): Week 26 to Week 52 (follow-up without study medication administration) or Week 26 to Week 52 (participants with neridronic acid treatment after placebo and those receiving re-treatment with neridronic acid).

Arm/Group Description In Treatment Period A, participants received matching placebo - 4 intravenous infusions within 10 Days; Follow-up Period 1 until 26 weeks. In Treatment Period A, participants received neridronic acid 100 mg - 4 intravenous infusions within 10 days; Follow-up Period 1 until 26 weeks. Participants with placebo treatment in Treatment Period A/Follow-up Period 1 were followed up without administration of study medication until 52 weeks in Follow-up Period 2. Participants who had completed treatment with placebo in Treatment Period A/Follow-up Period 1 received neridronic acid treatment (100 mg - 4 intravenous infusions within 10 days) in Treatment Period B/Follow-up Period 2 until 52 weeks. Participants who had completed treatment with neridronic acid treatment in Treatment Period A/Follow-up Period 1 were followed up without administration of study medication until 52 weeks in Follow-up Period 2. Participants who had completed treatment with neridronic acid in Treatment Period A/Follow-up Period 1 received re-treatment with neridronic acid 100 mg - 4 intravenous infusions within 10 days; Follow-up Period 2 until 52 weeks.

Limitations/Caveats

A pre-specified interim analysis was conducted on pooled primary endpoint data of studies KF7013-02 and KF7013-04 (NCT03560986). The interim analysis indicated futility (neridronate unlikely to be superior to placebo) and both studies were stopped.
