About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Exploratory Trial to Investigate Efficacy and Safety of IGN-ES001 in Patients With Chronic Widespread Pain With or Without Fibromyalgia

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled exploratory trial to investigate efficacy and safety of food supplement IGN-ES001 in patients with chronic widespread pain (CWP) with or without fibromyalgia (FM).

Read the detailed description

Patients will perform five scheduled on-site visits and five phone calls:

  • Screening visit, V1 (Day -10 to -7), informed consent
  • Baseline visit, V2 (Day 1), randomization, treatment start
  • Phone call, V3 (Day 4 ± 1)
  • Phone call, V4 (Day 8 ± 3)
  • Phone call, V5 (Day 15 ± 3)
  • On-site visit, V6 (Day 22 ± 3)
  • Phone call, V7 (Day 29 ± 3)
  • Phone call, V8 (Day 36 ± 3)
  • On-site visit, V9 (Day 43 + 3), treatment end
  • Follow-up on-site visit, V10 (Day 50 + 7, or 7 + 7 days after EDV).

In addition, patients may be asked to return to the trial site between scheduled visits for assessment of safety data (unscheduled visits).

The maximum duration of treatment for the individual patient will be 46 days (including allowed visit window deviation). The maximum duration of trial participation for the individual patient will be 67 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain, final percent changes from baseline (based on diary), univariate analysis

    The overall pain improvement will be assessed by means of the percent changes from baseline (Visit 2) to end of treatment visit (Visit 9). Percent changes are preferred to raw changes due to their implicit adjustment for baseline differences in the case of proportional decrease. The baseline pain value will be calculated as mean overall pain of the last seven-day time period of the screening phase from Day -7 to Day -1. Minimum the last 6 out of 7 days prior to baseline visit V2 must be documented. The final pain value will be calculated as mean overall pain of the last seven-day time period prior to the end of the adjunctive treatment period from Day 36 to Day 42.

    Measured: Six Weeks

  2. Pain, final percent changes from baseline (based on diary), multivariate analysis

    In addition to the univariate analysis of the overall pain score, a correlation-sensitive multidimensional approach will be performed with respect to the two major pain activity levels:

    • Pain at rest (sum score of three locations), percent change from baseline
    • Pain perceived during physical strain (sum score of three locations), percent change from baseline

    Measured: Six Weeks

  3. Pain, final responder (based on diary)

    Responders will be defined as patients with a percent decrease from baseline of the overall pain score by at least 30%. This is a recommended benchmark for a "clinically meaningful improvement" (Farrar et al.), and provides robustness in case of proportional pain decrease (independency from baseline pain level). Tubach et al. (2012) defined a percent decrease of 20% as minimal clinically important change. Thus, the recommendation of Farrar et al. is regarded as optimum choice for a clinically meaningful responder definition.

    Measured: Six Weeks

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Responder* rate, alternative definition (based on diary)

    Measured: Six Weeks

  2. Change in Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire Revised version (FIQ-R) score from baseline (visit V2)

    Measured: Six Weeks

  3. Change in Short-Form-36 version 2 Quality-of-Life questionnaire (SF-36v2TM) score from baseline (visit V2)

    Measured: Six Weeks

  4. Change in Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale (MOS-SS) score from baseline (visit V2)

    Measured: Six Weeks

  5. Change in Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) score from baseline (visit V2)

    Measured: Six Weeks

  6. Patient's Global Impression of Change (PCIG) Questionnaire

    "The patients will rate their change in the overall status "since the start of the study, my overall status is" on a scale ranging from 1 (= very much improved) to 7 (= very much worse). Patients will complete the PGIC questionnaire at visit 9 (or at Early Discontinuation Visit) covering the whole 6-week treatment period from baseline visit 2."

    Measured: Six Weeks

  7. Consumption of rescue medication

    Measured: Six Weeks

  8. Time to first rescue medication (days)

    Measured: Dependent to the timeframe of the first rescue medication from first investigational product intake following baseline visit 2 through study completion, an average of six weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing IGN-ES001 and Parol 500 mg Tablets (acetaminophen) in people with Chronic Widespread Pain and Fibromyalgia, run by IgNova GmbH at 23 sites in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 16 inclusion and 20 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 Aug 2018. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

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?

Pain, final percent changes from baseline (based on diary), univariate analysis (time frame: Six Weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 Aug 2018.
