What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline to 12-Week Endpoint in the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) "24-Hour Average Pain" Item (Question 3) of the BPI-Modified Short Form Score

    BPI Average Pain score ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Treatment group difference in Least Squares (LS) Means changes from analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with terms for treatment group, pooled investigators, baseline. Baseline-observation-carried-forward (BOCF) method used to impute endpoint value for those who discontinued initial double-blind therapy (DBT) due to adverse event (AE); last non-missing observation during initial DBT used to impute missing endpoint for all others. Analyses included all participants having non-missing baseline and endpoint.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Change From Baseline to 12-Week Endpoint in the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) - Modified Short Form

    BPI-Modified Short Form mean interference score ranges from 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes) for pain in past 24 hours for general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep, and enjoyment of life. Treatment group difference in the Least Squares (LS) Means changes from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with terms for treatment group, pooled investigators and baseline. Last-observation-carried forward (LOCF) endpoint defined as last available post-baseline value obtained during initial double-blind therapy.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  2. Patient Global Impression - Improvement (PGI-I) at Endpoint

    The PGI-I scale is a patient-rated instrument that measures perceived improvement in symptoms. It is a 7-point scale: score of 1 is "very much better," 4 is "no change," and 7 is "very much worse." Treatment group difference in Least Squares (LS) Means at endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA); model included terms for treatment group, pooled investigators and baseline PGI-Severity (PGI-S).

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) for Depression at Endpoint

    The CGI-I measures clinician's perception of patient improvement at time of assessment compared with start of treatment. Scores range from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).

    The treatment group difference in Least Squares (LS) Means at endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The model included terms for treatment group, pooled investigators and baseline CGI-Severity (CGI-S).

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. Change From Baseline to 12-Week Endpoint Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II)

    The BDI-II is a 21-item, patient-completed questionnaire to assess characteristics of depression. Each of the 21 items corresponding to a symptom of depression is summed to give a single score. There is a 4-point scale for each item ranging from 0 to 3 (0 = not present; 3 = present in the extreme). The treatment group difference in the Least Squares (LS) Means change from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The model included terms for treatment group, pooled investigators and baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  5. Change From Baseline to 12-Week Endpoint Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ)

    FIQ is a 20-item self-administered questionnaire that measures fibromyalgia (FM) patient status, progress, and outcomes over the past week. The total score ranges from 0 to 80 with higher scores reflecting a more negative impact of FM. The treatment group difference in the Least Squares (LS) Means change from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The model included terms for treatment group, pooled investigators and baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  6. Change From Baseline to 12-Week Endpoint Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI)

    The BAI is a 21-item patient-completed questionnaire designed to assess the characteristics of anxiety. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale (0=not present; 3=present in the extreme). The total score ranges from 0 to 63; the higher the score, the more severe the anxiety symptoms.

    The treatment group difference in the Least Squares (LS) Means at endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The model included terms for treatment group, pooled investigators and baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  7. Change From Baseline to 12-Week Endpoint 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36)

    SF-36 has 36 items with 8 domains: physical functioning, social functioning, bodily pain, vitality, mental health, role-physical, role-emotional, general health; each scored on 0 to 100 scale. Higher scores indicate better status. Mental component summary (MCS) and physical component summary (PCS) based on 8 SF-36 domains. Scales scored using norm-based methods; mean is 50 and standard deviation is 10 in U.S. population. Treatment group difference in Least Squares (LS) Means at endpoint from analysis of covariance. Terms for treatment group, pooled investigators, baseline in model.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  8. Number of Participants With Suicidal Behaviors and Ideations Collected by Columbia -Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)

    The C-SSRS is a scale capturing occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors. The number of participants with suicidal behaviors and ideations are provided.

    Suicidal behavior: a "yes" answer to any of 5 suicidal behavior questions which include: preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, actual attempt, and completed suicide.

    Suicidal ideation: a "yes" answer to any 1 of 5 suicidal ideation questions which include wish to be dead and 4 different categories of active suicidal ideation.

    Measured: Baseline through 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Duloxetine in people with Fibromyalgia, Primary and Fibromyalgia, Secondary, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 4 sites in Mexico.

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 1 inclusion and 10 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 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Mexico. 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 3 Nov 2011). 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 to 12-Week Endpoint in the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) "24-Hour Average Pain" Item (Question 3) of the BPI-Modified Short Form Score (time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks). 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 2011.
