What is being measured

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

  1. Changes from baseline in RLS symptom severity using the International Restless Leg Group Rating Scale (IRLS) total score for efficacy assessment

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

  2. The proportion of subjects responding to treatment using the Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) scale for efficacy assessment

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Subjective Sleep Questionnaire (SSQ - Subjective WASO)

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

  2. RLS Next Day Impact (RLS-NDI)

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

  3. Limb pain rating using a numerical rating scale (Limb Pain - NRS)

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

  4. Clinical Global Impressions - Severity (CGI-S)

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

  5. Medical Outcomes Study - Sleep Scale (MOS - SS)

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

  6. Impact on Life (IRLS symptom impact sub-score)

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

  7. RLS-Quality of Life Scale (RLS-QoL)

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

  8. Medical Outcomes Study - Short Form 36 (SF-36)

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

  9. Work Productivity and Activity Impairment - Specific Health Problem (WPAI-SHP)

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

  10. Profile of Mood States (POMS)

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

  11. Adverse events from spontaneous reports will be monitored throughout the trial and summarized by treatment group

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

  12. Sheehan Suicidality Tracking Scale (S-STS) will be utilized to assess the risk of suicide

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

  13. Changes in RLS symptoms following the discontinuation of study drug at the end of treatment will be evaluated by collection of the IRLS scores at the end of the drug taper period at Week 13

    Measured: week 13

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing pregabalin in people with Restless Legs Syndrome, run by Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc..

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 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Changes from baseline in RLS symptom severity using the International Restless Leg Group Rating Scale (IRLS) total score for efficacy assessment (time frame: up to 12 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Jan 2021.
