About this study

Official title: VERSATIS - Efficacy and Safety of Lidocaine 5% Plasters (Versatis® 5%) in Child, Adolescents and Young Adults With Neuropathic Pains or Vasoocclusive Sickle Cell Crisis Pains

Lidocaine 5% plaster (VERSATIS® 5%) showed its efficacy and safety in the post-herpetic zoster adult pains. This treatment is recommended in first intention in adult neuropathic pains with allodynia.

The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of lidocaine 5% plaster (VERSATIS® 5%) in the pediatric neuropathic pains and vasoocclusive sickle cell crises pains.

Read the detailed description

Pediatric neuropathic pain are infrequent. It's difficult to estimate the prevalence. It may result from several causes : infectious (post-herpetic neuropathy), traumatic (tumor or Positional)or toxic (chemotherapy or radiotherapy). They are often associated with malignant pediatric disease.

These pains are spontaneous, continuous or intermittent, as type of burns or electric shocks or abnormal skin sensation (hyperesthesia or allodynia). Treatment is the same as in adults: antiepileptic or neuroleptics, sometimes associated with analgesic (level 2 or 3).

Lidocaine 5% plaster are used in adults as first line of treatment to reduce post-herpetic neuropathic pain, especially in cases of mechanical allodynia. These plasters are indicated for the symptomatic treatment of post-herpetic neuropathic pain.

Each plaster contains 700 mg of lidocaine. It must be applied on the painful area once daily for a maximum period of 12 hours per 24 hours.

The primary endpoint is to evaluate the efficacy of lidocaine 5% plaster (VERSATIS 5%) after 12 hours on reducing of pure or mixed neuropathic pain and on reducing of vasoocclusive sickle cell pain, localized, superficial, in child, adolescent and young adult.

The secondary endpoint are:

  1. to evaluate the efficacy of lidocaine 5% plaster (VERSATIS 5%) after 6 hours on reducing of pure or mixed neuropathic pain and on reducing of vasoocclusive sickle cell pain, localized, superficial, in child, adolescent and young adult.
  2. to evaluate safety of lidocaine 5% plaster (VERSATIS® 5%) in these same indications.

What is being measured

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

  1. Lidocaine 5% plaster efficacy between t0 and t12

    Rate of patients with a decrease of at least 2 points in pain score (at least 2 of 3 consecutive days) measured by self-assessment on a visual analogue scale (VAS) graded from 0 to 10 (0 = absence pain and 10 = maximal pain ), between start of treatment(t0) and a measure carried out 12 hours later (t12).

    Measured: 12 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Lidocaine 5% plaster efficacy between t0 and t6

    Rate of patients with a decrease of at least 2 points in pain score (at least 2 of 3 consecutive days) measured by self-assessment on a visual analogue scale (VAS) graded from 0 to 10 (0 = absence pain and 10 = maximal pain ), between start of treatment(t0) and a measure carried out 6 hours later (t6).

    Measured: 6 hours

  2. Lidocaine 5% plaster safety

    Rate of patients with local and/or general adverse event as graded using NCI-CTCAE V4.0

    Measured: 72 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lidocaine in people with Neuropathic Pains and Vasoocclusive Sickle Cell Crises Pains, run by Centre Leon Berard at 2 sites in France.

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 6 inclusion and 15 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 30 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in 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?

Lidocaine 5% plaster efficacy between t0 and t12 (time frame: 12 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01314300, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 30 Oct 2014.
