What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline to Days 24-28 in Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Average Pain Score.

    Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF). Twice daily, the participants rated their Average Pain intensity during the past 12 hours on an Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) 0-10; 0=No pain, 10=Worst pain imaginable.

    Measured: Baseline (mean of Day -5 to Day -1) to the mean of Day 24 to Day 28

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change From Baseline to Days 24-28 in Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Worst Pain Score.

    Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF). Twice daily, the participants rated their Worst pain intensity during the past 12 hours on an Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) 0-10, 0=No pain, 10=Worst pain imaginable.

    Measured: Baseline (mean of Day -5 to Day -1) to the mean of Day 24 to Day 28

  2. Number of Participants With at Least 30% Decrease From Baseline in Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Average Pain Score at Day 28.

    Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF). Numerical Rating Scale(NRS) Average Pain score reduction=(change from baseline at Day 28/baseline)*100.

    Responder= NRS Average Pain score reduction ≥30% (yes/no)

    Measured: Baseline (mean of Day -5 to Day -1) to Day 28

  3. Number of Participants With at Least 50% Decrease From Baseline in Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Average Pain Score at Day 28.

    Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF). Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Average Pain score reduction=(change from baseline at Day 28/baseline)*100.

    Responder= NRS Average Pain score reduction ≥50% (yes/no)

    Measured: Baseline (mean of Day -5 to Day -1) to Day 28

  4. Change From Baseline to Day 29 in Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory Scale (NPSI) Total Score.

    Last Observation carried Forward (LOCF). Scale consists of 10 Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory Scale (NPSI) pain symptom descriptors wiht a recall period of 24 hours. Each descriptor is rated on a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) 0-10; 0=No (symptom), 10=Worst (symptom) imaginable. The NPSI Total Score was calculated as the sum of 10 of the NPSI descriptors. Range for total score 0 -100. Higher total score implicates worse symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) to Day 29 (Visit 7)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AZD2423 in people with Neuropathic Pain, run by AstraZeneca at 20 sites in 2 countries.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in United States, Canada. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 25 Sep 2013). 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 Days 24-28 in Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Average Pain Score. (time frame: Baseline (mean of Day -5 to Day -1) to the mean of Day 24 to Day 28). 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 25 Apr 2014.
