About this study

Official title: A Parallel, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Proof of Concept Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of 2 Different Doses of Rotigotine in Subjects With Signs and Symptoms Associated With Fibromyalgia Syndrome

This trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of rotigotine as compared to placebo in reducing signs and symptoms of fibromyalgia syndrome. The effects of rotigotine on pain, sleep, general activity, mood, and quality of life, and the use of rescue medication to treat pain will be assessed.

Read the detailed description

The overall post-Baseline duration of treatment was 13 weeks. The trial consisted of a 4-week Titration Phase, an 8-week Maintenance Phase, a 1-week De-escalation Phase, and a 2-week Safety Follow-Up Phase. If subjects met the eligibility criteria, they were randomized to receive rotigotine 4 mg/24 hrs, rotigotine 8 mg/24 hrs, or placebo during the Maintenance Phase. During the 4-week Titration Phase, subjects assigned to rotigotine were titrated at weekly intervals of 2 mg/24 hrs until they reached 4 mg/24 hrs or 8 mg/24 hrs. All subjects who completed the 4-week Titration Phase entered an 8-week Maintenance Phase and were maintained at their randomized dose (rotigotine 4 mg/24 hrs, rotigotine 8 mg/24 hrs, or placebo). No dose adjustment was allowed during the Maintenance Phase. The Treatment Phase was defined as the combined Titration and Maintenance Phases.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Average Daily Pain Score to the Last 2 Weeks of the 12-week Treatment Phase (Based on the Full Analysis Set)

    The average daily pain score is calculated using an 11-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain ever experienced).

    Measured: Baseline, Last 2 weeks of the 12-week Treatment Phase

  2. Change From Baseline in Average Daily Pain Score to the Last 2 Weeks of the 12-week Treatment Phase (Based on the Per Protocol Set)

    The average daily pain score is calculated using an 11-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain ever experienced).

    Measured: Baseline, Last 2 weeks of the 12-week Treatment Phase

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Change From Baseline in Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) Total Score to the Last Assessment in the 12-week Treatment Phase

    The Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) Total Score ranges from 0 to 100 with higher scores corresponding to a greater impact of fibromyalgia

    Measured: Baseline, Last assessment in the 12-week Treatment Phase

  2. Change From Baseline in Total Myalgic Score to the Last Assessment in the 12-week Treatment Phase

    Total Myalgic Score ranges from 0 to 54 with higher scores corresponding to a greater level of pain.

    Measured: Baseline, Last assessment in the 12-week Treatment Phase

  3. Change From Baseline in Average Daily Interference With Sleep to the Last 2 Weeks of the 12-week Treatment Phase

    Sleep scale - the subject rated quality of sleep, from 0 (very good sleep) to 10 (very poor sleep)

    Measured: Baseline, Last 2 weeks of the 12-week Treatment Phase

  4. Change From Baseline in Daily Interference With General Activity to the Last 2 Weeks of the 12-week Treatment Phase

    General activity scale - the subject rated how the pain had interfered with general activity, from 0 (did not interfere) to 10 (completely interfered)

    Measured: Baseline, Last 2 weeks of the 12-week Treatment Phase

  5. Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Assessment From Baseline to the Last Assessment in the 12-week Treatment Phase

    The PGIC is a 7-point self-administered categorical rating scale in which the subject rated the change in pain since starting trial medication (from much worse [score of 1] to much better [score of 7]).

    Measured: Baseline, Last assessment in the 12-week Treatment Phase

  6. Change From Baseline in Morning and Evening Pain Scores to the Last 2 Weeks of the 12-week Treatment Phase

    An 11-point Likert scale was used for subjects to assess pain, from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain ever experienced).

    Measured: Baseline, Last 2 weeks of the 12-week Treatment Phase

  7. Number of Subjects Using Rescue Medication and Alcohol During the 12-week Treatment Phase

    Subjects recorded use of rescue medication for pain in the diary daily in the evening with a Yes/No response. Use of alcohol to treat pain in the past 24 hours was recorded with a Yes/No response.

    Measured: 12-week Treatment Phase

  8. Rotigotine Plasma Concentration at the End of the Maintenance Phase/Week 12

    Measured: End of the Maintenance Phase/Week 12

  9. Change From Baseline in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) Scores to the Last Assessment in the 12-week Treatment Phase

    The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a self-administered instrument for detecting anxiety and depression in medical outpatients. Scores range from 0 to 21 for each subscale with higher scores reflecting a greater level of anxiety or depression.

    Measured: Baseline, Last assessment in the 12-week Treatment Phase

  10. Change From Baseline in Fibromyalgia Symptom Scores to the Last Assessment in the 12-week Treatment Phase

    All scores range from 0 to 10 with higher scores corresponding to a greater level of symptom severity.

    Measured: Baseline, Last assessment in the 12-week Treatment Phase

  11. Change From Baseline in Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) Scores to the Last Assessment in the 12-week Treatment Phase

    The Beck Depression Inventory-II is a 21-item questionnaire. Each item is scored on a scale of 0 to 3 with a total score ranging from 0 to 63. A higher total score is associated with more severe depressive symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline, Last assessment in the 12-week Treatment Phase

  12. Number of Subjects With Presence of Impulse Control Disorders

    Impulse control disorders (ICDs) are a set of psychiatric disorders in which a person is unable to control strong and often harmful impulses. They are assessed in this study using the Jay Modified Minnesota Impulsive Disorders Interview (Jay Modified MIDI), which focuses on the five most common ICDs that may be associated with dopamine agonist use: compulsive buying, compulsive gambling, compulsive eating, hypersexuality and punding (performing repetitive and/or mechanical tasks).

    Measured: 12-week Treatment Phase
