Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The study is designed to assess if spinal cord injury patients have reduced pain after taking either pregabalin or placebo in a cross over design. Patients had either pain at the level of their injury or below the level of their injury.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
N/A

Detailed Description

This methodology study was terminated on October 13, 2008 based on interim results for an exploratory, novel endpoint. The results of the primary analysis at the interim for N=12 patients showed results that generally favored pregabalin but were not statistically significant compared to placebo. Based on the estimated conditional power, this result is unlikely to change with full recruitment of N=24 patients and therefore the data monitoring committee recommended termination of the trial. The decision to terminate the trial was not based on any safety concerns.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Present Pain Intensity Score [Day 1: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours (post-dose); Day 8: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours (post-dose)]

    Present pain intensity score: 0-10 numeric rating scale (NRS), 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain).

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Daily Pain Score [Predose: Daily from 7 days before Visit 2 (start of Intervention 1) until the morning of Visit 5 (end of Intervention 2)]

    Daily Pain Score: Day 1 pain intensity over past 24 hours recorded on waking every morning. 0-10 numeric rating scale (NRS): 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain).

  2. Dynamic Allodynia Area [Screening, Days 1 & 8: 0 (pre-dose) & 4 hours post-dose,]

    Area of dynamic allodynia was assessed using a brush (SENSElab Brush 05; velocity approximately 20 millimeters per second [mm/s]) by stimulating along a pattern of 8 radial spokes. Stimulation was started from the non-painful perimetry. Subjects were asked to report change in sensation from non-painful to painful and the spot was marked onto the skin. The area of dynamic allodynia was determined from these 8 distances by calculating the area of an octagon (in centimeter squared [cm2]).

  3. Dynamic Allodynia Pain Score [Screening, Days 1 & 8: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hours post-dose]

    Five strokes (each approx. 6 centimeters [cm] long) were applied with a standardized brush (SENSELab Brush 05) across the painful site (and a control site) at a constant velocity (20 millimeters per second [mm/sec]). Pain in response to brush stimulation of the allodynic area was recorded using an 11-point numeric rating scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Patients were asked to give a pain rating after each brush stroke. A painful sensation was considered as representing brush allodynia.

  4. Punctate Allodynia Area [Screening, Days 1 & 8: 0 (pre-dose) and 4 hours post-dose]

    Area of punctate allodynia was determined using a von Frey filament (OptiHair2). Stimulation was started from the non-painful perimetry and repeated along a pattern of 8 radial spokes. With a movement along each spoke at steps of 5 millimeters (mm), the subjects reported sensation changes from non-painful to painful and the spot was marked on the skin. The area of punctate allodynia was determined from these 8 distances by calculating the area of an octagon (in square centimeter(s)[cm2]).

  5. Mechanical Pain Sensitivity Stimulus-Response Function [Screening, Days 1 & 8: 0 (pre-dose), & 2, 4, and 6 hours post-dose]

    Mechanical pain sensitivity stimulus response function was assessed at the control and painful sites using calibrated von Frey monofilaments and the SENSElab brush. Seven different von Frey monofilaments (8 -512 milliNewtons [mN], force increases by a factor of two from filament to filament) and the brush were applied in a predetermined pseudo-random order. Pain rating for each stimulus: 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain).

  6. Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) [Prior to morning dosing on Day 1 and prior to discharge on Day 8 for each period.]

    NPSI: subject rated questionnaire to evaluate 5 dimensions of neuropathic pain (dimensions: burning [superficial] spontaneous pain, pressing [deep] spontaneous pain, paroxysmal pain, evoked pain, and paresthesia/dyesthesia). Includes 10 descriptors ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 10 (worst symptoms imaginable) and 2 temporal items assessing duration of spontaneous ongoing and paroxysmal pain. Questionnaire generates a score in each relevant dimension. Total score is calculated as the sum of scores of the 10 descriptors, range: 0-100. Higher score indicates greater intensity of pain.

  7. Pharmacokinetic Evaluations of Pregabalin [Day 1: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 2, and 6 hours post-dose; Day 8: 0 (pre-dose), 1, 4, & 6 hours post-dose]

    Pharmacokinetic (PK) results are not presented in this report due to early termination of the trial. Pregabalin PK was not measured as there was incomplete data to conduct pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analyses.

3. Secondary Outcome
Title Dynamic Allodynia Area
Description Area of dynamic allodynia was assessed using a brush (SENSElab Brush 05; velocity approximately 20 millimeters per second [mm/s]) by stimulating along a pattern of 8 radial spokes. Stimulation was started from the non-painful perimetry. Subjects were asked to report change in sensation from non-painful to painful and the spot was marked onto the skin. The area of dynamic allodynia was determined from these 8 distances by calculating the area of an octagon (in centimeter squared [cm2]).

4. Secondary Outcome
Title Dynamic Allodynia Pain Score
Description Five strokes (each approx. 6 centimeters [cm] long) were applied with a standardized brush (SENSELab Brush 05) across the painful site (and a control site) at a constant velocity (20 millimeters per second [mm/sec]). Pain in response to brush stimulation of the allodynic area was recorded using an 11-point numeric rating scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Patients were asked to give a pain rating after each brush stroke. A painful sensation was considered as representing brush allodynia.

Title Punctate Allodynia Area
Description Area of punctate allodynia was determined using a von Frey filament (OptiHair2). Stimulation was started from the non-painful perimetry and repeated along a pattern of 8 radial spokes. With a movement along each spoke at steps of 5 millimeters (mm), the subjects reported sensation changes from non-painful to painful and the spot was marked on the skin. The area of punctate allodynia was determined from these 8 distances by calculating the area of an octagon (in square centimeter(s)[cm2]).

7. Secondary Outcome
Title Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI)
Description NPSI: subject rated questionnaire to evaluate 5 dimensions of neuropathic pain (dimensions: burning [superficial] spontaneous pain, pressing [deep] spontaneous pain, paroxysmal pain, evoked pain, and paresthesia/dyesthesia). Includes 10 descriptors ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 10 (worst symptoms imaginable) and 2 temporal items assessing duration of spontaneous ongoing and paroxysmal pain. Questionnaire generates a score in each relevant dimension. Total score is calculated as the sum of scores of the 10 descriptors, range: 0-100. Higher score indicates greater intensity of pain.
Time Frame Prior to morning dosing on Day 1 and prior to discharge on Day 8 for each period.
