About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial Of The Prevention And Treatment Of Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Symptoms In Subjects With Advanced Colorectal Cancer

Prevention and treatment of the severity of symptoms of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.

Read the detailed description

This study was terminated on July 15, 2008. The results of an interim analysis showed that the conditional power to detect a difference in treatment groups was insufficient to warrant study continuation and therefore termination of the trial was recommended. The decision to terminate the trial was not based on safety concerns.

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration Adjusted Average Change (DAAC) of Paresthesia From the Onset of Chemotherapy Measured by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

    Least squares mean of change: mean at cycle minus mean at Baseline. Paresthetic duration Adjusted Average Change (DAAC) endpoint was computed based on Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) of paresthesia (collected 0=no pain; 1-3=mild pain; 4-6=moderate pain; 7-10=severe pain). DAAC endpoint is defined as the Area Under Curve (AUC) of the collected NRS over time, divided by the collection time period (up to 10 days).

    Measured: Period of 10 days from the onset of chemotherapy to the last cycle: Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Duration Adjusted Average Change (DAAC) of Paresthesic Symptom Score Within Each Cycle of Chemotherapy Measured by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

    Least squares mean of change: mean at cycle minus mean at Baseline. Paresthetic Duration Adjusted Average Change (DAAC) endpoint was computed based on Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) of paresthesia (collected 0=no pain; 1-3=mild pain; 4-6=moderate pain; 7-10=severe pain). DAAC endpoint is defined as the Area Under Curve (AUC) of the collected NRS over time, divided by collection time period (up to 10 days).

    Measured: Baseline to Cycle 9

  2. Duration Adjusted Average Change (DAAC) of Dysesthesia Symptom Score Within Each Cycle of Chemotherapy Measured by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

    Least squares (LS) mean of change: mean at cycle minus mean at Baseline. Dysesthesic Duration Adjusted Average Change (DAAC) endpoint was computed based on Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) of dysesthesis (collected 0=no pain; 1-3=mild pain; 4-6=moderate pain; 7-10=severe pain). DAAC endpoint was defined as the Area Under Curve (AUC) of the collected NRS over time, divided by collection time period (up to 10 days).

    Measured: Baseline to Cycle 9, LOCF cycle endpoint

  3. Duration Adjusted Average Change (DAAC) of Pain Symptom Score Within Each Cycle of Chemotherapy Measured by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

    Least squares (LS) mean of change: mean at cycle minus mean at Baseline. Pain Duration Adjusted Average Change (DAAC) endpoint was computed based on Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) of pain (collected 0=no pain; 1-3=mild pain; 4-6=moderate pain; 7-10=severe pain). DAAC endpoint was defined as the Area Under Curve (AUC) of the collected NRS over time, divided by collection time period (up to 10 days).

    Measured: Baseline to Cycle 9, LOCF cycle endpoint

  4. Change in Pain Scores Rated on Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) Subscales From Baseline Cycle

    Least squares (LS) mean of change: mean at cycle minus mean at Baseline. Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) = questionnaire designed to evaluate symptoms of neuropathic pain. 11-point numeric rating scale, range: 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable) best describing their average pain for last 24 hours.

    Measured: Baseline to Cycle 9, Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) cycle endpoint

  5. Number of Participants With Persistent Paresthesic, Dysesthesic, and Pain Symptoms

    Number of participants with persistent paresthesic, dyesthesic, and pain symptoms at chemotherapy Cycle 9 and last observation carried forward (LOCF) endpoint. Numeric rating scale of symptoms: >=1: mild symptoms to >=4: moderate severe symptoms. Subjects rated their average severity of symptoms over the last 24 hours every evening before bedtime.

    Measured: Cycle 9 and Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) cycle endpoint

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Pregabalin in people with Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy, run by Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc. at 15 sites in 6 countries.

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 11 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in Germany, South Korea, Spain, Australia, Italy and 1 more country. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 17 Apr 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?

Duration Adjusted Average Change (DAAC) of Paresthesia From the Onset of Chemotherapy Measured by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) (time frame: Period of 10 days from the onset of chemotherapy to the last cycle: Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 11 Feb 2021.
