What is being measured

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

  1. Analgesic efficacy

    Analgesic efficacy will be assessed from several endpoints. The primary endpoint will be defined as the change of pain level between baseline (T0) and 40 minutes (T1) after baseline. The pain level will be assessed using a self-administered numeric pain intensity scale (NPIS), ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain possible). A minimal 30% decrease of pain level between baseline and T1 will define the success, and other cases will define the failure of the treatment.

    Measured: 40 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. intensity of the pain neuropathic

    the intensity of the pain neuropathic component using the Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) at T4, T5, and T6 {Bouhassira, 2004 #9}; the NPSI is a 12-item self-administered questionnaire describing the intensity of the symptoms associated with pain neuropathic

    Measured: 120 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Lidocaine in people with Cancer and Pain With Neuropathic Component, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site 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 8 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Aug 2015. 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 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sebastien SALAS, MD (+33491384408, sebastien.salas@ap-hm.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Analgesic efficacy (time frame: 40 minutes). 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 NCT02137954, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Aug 2015.
