About this study
The purpose of this study is to compare duloxetine with conventional treatment of pain in HIV-1 infected patients.
Read the detailed description
Among HIV-1-infected patients, diagnosis of fibromialgy has increased over the last years . Appropriate identification of firomialgy in these patients is challenging and sometimes can be more complicated than in HIV-negative population. Concomitant infectious processes and symptoms due to HIV infection itself need to be ruled out before establishing a formal diagnosis.
The treatment of this disease frequently includes muscular relaxants , pain-killers, anti-inflammatories and antidepressives despite no drug is formally indicated for this pathology.
Duloxetine approved indications include both treatment of major depressive disorders (MDD) and diabetic neuropathic pain. Recent studies in HIV negative patients show efficacy to control pain and depressive symptoms in patients with fibromialgy The main purpose of this pilot study is to assess the efficacy of duloxetine in HIV-1-infected patients with fibromialgy.
The main purpose of this pilot study is to assess the efficacy of duloxetine in HIV-1-infected patients with fibromialgy or chronic fatigue syndrome presenting with widespread pain.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Duloxetine 60 mg, QD in people with Fibromyalgia and HIV-1 Infection, run by Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital at 1 site in Spain.
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 5 inclusion and 14 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 4 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Spain. 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. 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?
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?
Variation in pain measured using the Brief Pain Inventory questionnaire in both branches of the study (time frame: Time frame: basal visit, weeks 4, 12, 24, 36 and 48). 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 4 Dec 2019.
