What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline for Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Pain Scores at Endpoint-LOCF (Last Observation Carried Forward) Relative to Baseline

    Change from baseline in mean NRS-Pain scores at endpoint-LOCF. Daily pain scores were assessed on an 11-point numerical rating scale <(NRS)-Pain> ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 15 or study discontinuation

Secondary outcomes (32)
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Was Categorized as "Improved (Very Much Improved, Much Improved, or a Minimally Improved)" According to the Patient Global Impressions of Change (PGIC)

    PGIC was defined as participant rated instrument to measure participant's change in overall status on a 7-point scale; range from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Change was defined as a score of 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse) , 6 (much worse) or 7 (very much worse) on the scale.

    Measured: Week 15 or study discontinuation

    MOS: participant-rated questionnaire to assess sleep quality and quantity. Consists of 9-item overall sleep problems index (length of time to fall asleep, how many hours of sleep each night during past 4 weeks); The MOS Sleep Disturbance subscales rated 1 (all the time) to 6 (none of the time). Scores are transformed (actual raw score minus lowest possible score) divided by possible raw score range multiplied by 100; total score range = 0 to 100. A higher score indicates greater intensity of sleep disturbance. Change = mean scores at observation minus mean scores at baseline.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Pregabalin in people with Fibromyalgia, run by Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc. at 35 sites in Japan.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 25 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 35 sites in Japan. 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 1 Jun 2012). 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 From Baseline for Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Pain Scores at Endpoint-LOCF (Last Observation Carried Forward) Relative to Baseline (time frame: Baseline, Week 15 or study discontinuation). 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 NCT00830167, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 25 Jan 2021.
