  • Ages 18 to 85 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patient with Post-Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN) as defined as pain present for more than 6 months after the onset of a herpes zoster skin rash affecting the trigeminal, cervical, thoracic, lumbar, or sacral regions.
  • Based on patient diary information collected during the Baseline week (day -7 to randomization Day 1), patient has completed at least 5 diary entries and has an average weekly pain rating of at least 4 on the 11-point pain rating scale.
  • The patient is able to satisfactorily complete, in the Investigator's judgment, the Cognitive Battery.
  • Male or female, 18-85 years of age.

Who cannot join

  • Other severe pain that may potentially confound pain assessment.
  • History of complete lack of response to pregabalin (at least 300 mg qd for 4 weeks) or gabapentin (at least 1800 mg qd for 4 weeks).
  • Hemoglobin A1c > 9%
  • Hemoglobin ≤ 9 g/dL.
  • Active herpes zoster or known viral infection.
  • Previous neurolytic or neurosurgical therapy for PHN.
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) according to the re-expressed abbreviated (four-variable) Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation ≤ 40ml/min/1.73m2.
  • Patients who have been on a stable dose of anticonvulsant,anticholinergic, antiviral medications, nicotine replacements, or any other smoking cessation medications for <4 weeks prior to randomization. Patients who are on stable doses for => 4 weeks prior to randomization are allowed, however, there should be no adjustments to the dose of these medications during study.
  • Patients currently on more than one drug for treatment of neuropathic pain (low dose opioids, antidepressants, or anticonvulsants). Patients are allowed to participate if on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization (Day1) and should remain stable during course of study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BMS-954561 in people with Post-Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN), run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 23 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 4 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 7 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites in United States, France. 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 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?

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?

The primary endpoint of this study is the average pain score for BMS-954561 vs. placebo. (time frame: up to 10 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 7 Dec 2015.
