About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized, Parallel-group Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Tolerability of Oral BVT.115959, a Novel A2A Agonist, Versus Placebo in the Treatment of Diabetic Neuropathic Pain

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of BVT.115959 in diabetic patients with neuropathic pain who are either not on analgesia or are on stable analgesia in the month prior to entering the study.

Read the detailed description

The planned study is an exploratory study which aims to provide proof of the efficacy of BVT.115959 in the reduction of the symptoms of pain. Thus, the primary objective is to evaluate the anticipated analgesic properties of BVT.115959 in patients with diabetic neuropathic pain and to confirm its activity against placebo.

The study will evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of oral BVT.115959 7 mg administered three times a day (t.i.d.) versus a matching placebo in diabetic patients with neuropathic pain who are either not on analgesia or are on stable analgesia in the month prior to entering the study and who are being maintained on stable analgesia throughout the study. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a ratio of 2:1 (BVT.115959: placebo).

The study consists of a 1-week screening/baseline period, a 4-week treatment period and a 1 week follow-up period.

  2. Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire parameters

  3. Weekly mean sleep interference score

  4. Clinical Global Impression of Change and Patient's Global Impression of Change

  5. Quality of life

  6. Mood stability

  7. Time to study withdrawal

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BVT.115959 in people with Diabetic Neuropathic Pain, run by Swedish Orphan Biovitrum at 20 sites in 3 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in Germany, South Africa, Czechia. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 24-hour pain intensity score from baseline using an 11-point Likert NRS assessed over the preceding 24 hours immediately upon awakening in the morning. 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 3 Nov 2014.
