What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Classified as Responders at Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period

    A participant who meets all of the following criteria will be classified as a responder: (1)Has a reduction of >=30% in mean pain score compared with baseline (2)Has not discontinued randomized treatment before the end of Week 12 of the double-blind period (3)Has not taken prohibited pain medication before the end of Week 12 of the double-blind period.

    Measured: Week 12

  2. Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) During the Long Term Extension (LTE) Period

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death; in the view of the Investigator, places the participant at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event; however, this does not include an event that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death); requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; or results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 52

Secondary outcomes (15)
  1. Percentage of Participants Classified as Responders Achieving Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Response at Week 12 of the Double- Blind Period

    A participant who meets all of the following criteria will be classified as a responder: (1) Achieving Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) response of "Much Improved" or "Very Much Improved" at Week 12 of the double-blind period (2) has not discontinued randomized study treatment before the end of Week 12 of the double-blind period, (3)has not taken prohibited pain medication before the end of Week 12 of the double-blind period. PGIC is a 7-point self-report scale depicting a participant's rating of overall improvement. Participants rate their change as "very much improved," "much improved," "minimally improved," "no change," "minimally worse," "much worse," or "very much worse."

    Measured: Week 12

  2. Percentage of Participants Classified as Responders Achieving >=50 Percent Reduction From Baseline Mean Number of Paroxysms at Week 12

    A participant who meets all of the following criteria will be classified as a responder: (1) Achieving >=50 percent reduction from baseline mean number of paroxysms at Week 12 (2) has not discontinued randomized study treatment before the end of Week 12 of the double-blind period, (3)has not taken prohibited pain medication before the end of Week 12 of the double-blind period. A paroxysm is a trigeminal neuralgia pain attack.

    Measured: Week 12

  3. Percentage of Participants Classified as Responders Achieving >=50 Percent Reduction From Baseline Mean Pain Score at Week 12

    A participant who meets all of the following criteria will be classified as a responder: (1) Achieving >=50 percent reduction from baseline mean pain score at Week 12 (2) has not discontinued randomized study treatment before the end of Week 12 of the double-blind period, (3)has not taken prohibited pain medication before the end of Week 12 of the double-blind period. Pain score is a 11-point numerical rating scale where 0 = no pain; 10 = maximum pain imaginable. Higher scores representing more pain.

    Measured: Week 12

  4. Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) During Double Blind Period

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death; in the view of the Investigator, places the participant at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event; however, this does not include an event that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death); requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; or results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

    Measured: Up to Week 14 of Double blind period

  5. Area Under the Plasma Concentration- Time Curve at Steady State (AUC,ss)

    AUC,ss= Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) at steady state.

    Measured: Day 15, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99, 113, 127, 141, premature treatment discontinuation (if occurred)

  6. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration at Steady State (Cmax,ss)

    Cmax,ss= Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration at Steady State

    Measured: Day 15, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99, 113, 127, 141, premature treatment discontinuation (if occurred)

  7. Percentage of Participants with >=30% Reduction From Baseline in Mean Pain Score During the Long Term Extension (LTE) Period

    Pain score is a 11-point numerical rating scale where 0 = no pain; 10 = maximum pain imaginable. Higher scores representing more pain.

    Measured: Week 1 through Week 52

  8. Change From Baseline in Mean Pain Score During the Long Term Extension (LTE) Period

    Pain score is a 11-point numerical rating scale where 0 = no pain; 10 = maximum pain imaginable. Higher scores representing more pain.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 1 through Week 52

  9. Change From Baseline In Mean Worst Pain Score During the Long Term Extension (LTE) Period

    Pain score is a 11-point numerical rating scale where 0 = no pain; 10 = maximum pain imaginable. Higher scores representing more pain.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 1 through Week 52

  10. Percentage of Participants with >=50% Reduction From Baseline in Mean Number of Paroxysms During Long Term Extension (LTE) Period

    Paroxysms are trigeminal neuralgia pain attacks. They are short, severe, and sharp, shooting, stabbing, or shock-like.

    Measured: Week 1 through Week 52

  11. Change From Baseline in Mean Number of Paroxysms During Long Term Extension (LTE) Period

    Paroxysms are trigeminal neuralgia pain attacks. They are short, severe, and sharp, shooting, stabbing, or shock-like.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 1 through Week 52

  12. Percentage of Participants With a PGIC Response of "Much Improved or "Very Much Improved" by Visit During the Long Term Extension (LTE) Period

    PGIC is a 7-point self-report scale depicting a participant's rating of overall improvement. Participants rate their change as "very much improved," "much improved," "minimally improved," "no change," "minimally worse," "much worse," or "very much worse." Participants having response "Much Improved or Very Much Improved" will be reported.

    Measured: Day 1, Week 2, 4, 6, 8, every 12 weeks up to Week 52

  13. Change From Baseline in the Penn Facial Pain Scale-Revised (PENN-FPS-R) Score by Visit During the Long Term Extension (LTE) Period

    The Penn-FPS-R is a new 12-item Health-Related Quality of Life outcome measure with content validity that can be used to assess and monitor the impact of Trigeminal Neuralgia and facial pain treatment interventions in both clinical practice and research. This scale uses the 0-10 numeric rating scale (NRS) to quantify the pain impact different activities and quality of life items, where 0 indicates no interference and 10 indicates complete interference. The sum of the rated NRS score will be calculated.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 1, Week 2, 4, 6, 8, every 12 weeks up to Week 52

  14. Change From Baseline in the EuroQoL 5 Dimension 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) Score by Visit During the Long Term Extension (LTE) Period

    EQ-5D-5L is a standardized, subject-rated instrument for use as a measure of health outcomes. The EQ 5D-5L includes 2 components: the EQ-5D-5L descriptive system and the EQ-Visual Analog Scale (EQ-VAS). The EQ-5D-5L descriptive system provides a profile of the participant's health state in 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). For each dimension, the participant is instructed to indicate whether he or she has no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 1, Week 4, 8, every 12 weeks up to Week 52

  15. Change From Baseline in the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) Neuropathic Pain (V2.0) Score by Visit During the Long Term Extension (LTE) Period

    The WPAI questionnaire is a validated instrument to measure impairments in work and activities. The WPAI yields four types of scores: 1. Absenteeism (percentage of work time missed) 2. Presenteeism (percentage of impairment at work/reduced on-the-job effectiveness) 3. Work productivity loss (percentage of overall work impairment [absenteeism plus presenteeism]) 4. Activity Impairment (percentage of overall activity impairment). WPAI outcomes are expressed as impairment percentages, with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 1, Week 4, 8, every 12 weeks up to Week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing BIIB074 in people with Trigeminal Neuralgia, run by Biogen.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Percentage of Participants Classified as Responders at Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period (time frame: Week 12). The study lists 2 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 6 May 2023.
