Trial summary

The primary purpose is to study the predictive value of preserved nociceptors and large afferent fibers and dynamic mechanical allodynia on the effect of lidocaine patch. The primary outcome measure is the predictive role for these three measures for obtaining a response to lidocaine. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Predictors of Response for the Efficacy of Topical Lidocaine Patch (Versatis) on Chronic Neuropathic Pain After Peripheral Nerve Injury

The primary purpose is to study the predictive value of preserved nociceptors and large afferent fibers and dynamic mechanical allodynia on the effect of lidocaine patch. The primary outcome measure is the predictive role for these three measures for obtaining a response to lidocaine. A responder is defined as a person with at least a 2-point pain reduction to lidocaine (change in median pain intensity (measured on a 10 point numeric rating scale) of pain from the baseline week to the last week of lidocaine treatment). Secondary effect variable will be efficacy of lidocaine on pain reduction (baseline week versus last week of each treatment) and pain relief (complete, good, moderate, slight, none, or worse) for spontaneous and evoked pain, and effect on ongoing pain, brush evoked allodynia, cold and warm allodynia, and pinprick hyperalgesia evaluated on each visit.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Topical lidocaine patchDrug

    Also called Versatis 5% Medicated Plaster, PL21727/0016.

    Topical lidocaine patch 5%; up to 3 patches to cover the area of maximum pain for 12 h a day.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in pain intensity (measured daily on a 10 point NRS)of spontaneous pain from baseline week to last week of treatment

    The primary purpose is to study the predictive value of preserved nociceptors and large afferent fibers and dynamic mechanical allodynia on the effect of lidocaine patch. The primary outcome measure is the predictive role for these three measures for obtaining a response to lidocaine. A responder is defined as a person with at least a 2-point pain reduction to lidocaine (change in median pain intensity (measured on a 10 point NRS) of pain from the baseline week to the last week.

    Measured: 4 or 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pain relief (complete, good, moderate, slight, none, or worse) for spontaneous and evoked pain

    Measured: 4 or 12 weeks

  2. Effect on ongoing pain, brush-evoked allodynia, cold and warm allodynia, and pinprick hyperalgesia

    Measured: 4 or 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Topical lidocaine patch in people with Neuropathic Pain, run by Danish Pain Research Center at 1 site in Denmark.

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 9 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 29 Aug 2011. 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 Denmark. 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 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?

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?

Change in pain intensity (measured daily on a 10 point NRS)of spontaneous pain from baseline week to last week of treatment (time frame: 4 or 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 29 Aug 2011.
