What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Mean Pain Severity Score From Baseline to 13 Weeks

    Pain severity measured on a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Range: 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Change: score at 13 weeks minus score at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and 13 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Patients With ≥50% Reduction in Mean Pain Severity Score.

    Pain severity measured on a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Range: 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Assessment of reduction based on change in score at 13 weeks compared to baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and 13 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing DVS SR in people with Diabetic Neuropathies and Pain, run by Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer at 51 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Oct 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 51 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Aug 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Mean Pain Severity Score From Baseline to 13 Weeks (time frame: Baseline and 13 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00283842, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Oct 2011.
