Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    •To evaluate the analgesic efficacy of JNJ-42160443 (1, 3, and 10 mg; administered as a single, subcutaneous injection every 28 days) in reducing average pain intensity, in subjects with postherpetic neuralgia and post-traumatic neuralgia
    •To evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of JNJ-42160443 (1, 3, and 10 mg), when administered as a single, subcutaneous injection every 28 days to subjects with postherpetic neuralgia and post-traumatic neuralgia for up to 2 years
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    •To evaluate the efficacy of JNJ-42160443 with respect to alternative pain endpoints (e.g. evening assessment of pain at its worst in the last 24 hours, neuropathic pain symptoms, pain severity, and pain-related interference with activities, Patient Global Impression of Change)
    •To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of JNJ-42160443 following multiple dose administrations
    •To evaluate the immunogenicity (antibodies to JNJ-42160443) associated with JNJ 42160443 treatment
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    - Subjects who have chronic neuropathic pain (pain persistent for greater than 6 months) that is moderate to severe in the opinion of the investigator and are currently taking pain medication but are not adequately controlled by standard of care (which may include antidepressants, antiepileptics, topical lidocaine, or opiods), or are not currently taking pain medications because they are intolerable to, or not willing to use, standard of care.

    - Subjects currently taking medications for the treatment of neuropathic pain at Screening have 3 options:
    *They may continue taking their current pain medication: Subjects are required to be on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug and must remain on this dose for the duration of the double-blind efficacy phase. The number and doses of medications for the treatment of neuropathic pain are limited to the guidelines provided below (refer to Maximal Neuropathic Pain Medication Allowed). If the number and/or doses of such medications must be reduced to fall within the acceptable limits for this study, then doses must be reduced (see next bullet).
    *They may reduce the number and/or dose of their current pain medications: If the number and/or dose exceed the limits of allowed neuropathic pain medications (refer to Maximal Neuropathic Pain Medication Allowed), then the number and/or dose must be reduced to fall within acceptable limits. This must be achieved at least 3 days or 5-half lives of the pain medication taken (whichever is longer) prior to the beginning of the Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) baseline period. Medications with the potential to cause withdrawal symptoms should be tapered using a taper schedule that is determined by the investigator. Subjects must remain on this lowered number/dose of pain medication dose for the duration of the double-blind efficacy phase.
    *They may discontinue their current pain medication: If they choose to discontinue neuropathic pain medications, then a washout interval of 3 days or 5 half-lives of the pain medication taken, whichever is longer, prior to beginning the IVRS baseline period is required. Medications with the potential to cause withdrawal symptoms should be tapered using a taper schedule that is determined by the investigator.
    Maximal Neuropathic Pain Medication Allowed: Use of two or less of the following medications, each one from a different class, is permitted:
    + Anticonvulsants: gabapentin (≤ 1800 mg/day) or pregabalin (≤ 300 mg/day)
    + Opioid analgesics (≤ 60 mg/day oxycodone equivalent) or tramadol (≤ 200 mg/day)
    + Antidepressants: tricyclic antidepressants (≤ 75 mg/day amitriptyline equivalent), duloxetine (≤ 60 mg/day), or venlafaxine (≤ 150 mg/day)

    - Subjects must have a mean average pain intensity score of at least 5, but less than 10, over 7 consecutive days on an 11-point numerical rating scale during the IVRS baseline period. Subjects are not permitted to have a pain score of less than 3 on 2 or more days within the 7 consecutive days. During the 7 consecutive days, at least 5 days of scores are required.

    - Subjects with PHN:
    *Diagnosis of PHN includes a clear history of herpetic (varicella-zoster) rash and persistent pain in a dermatomal distribution area
    *Pain must be present for greater than 6 months after the onset of the dermatomal rash
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    - Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding

    - History of a separate pain condition (e.g., joint osteoarthritis) that is more severe than their pain due to their diagnosis of PHN or post-traumatic neuralgia, or, if in the opinion of the Investigator, the chronic pain condition could confound the subject’s assessment of neuropathic pain under this study

    - Subjects with post-traumatic neuralgia that are characteristic of complex regional pain syndrome Type I, including: pain out of proportion to the severity of the injury, pain outside the distribution of nerve injury, changes in the skin color and/or temperature in the affected limb or body part, edema or excessive sweating of the affected limb or body part. Note, subjects with Type II CRPS are allowed in the study.

    - Subjects with lumbar-sacral radiculopathy, failed low-back surgery, or spinal cord injury.

    - Subject whose nerve injury or pain is expected to recover in the next 4 months

    - Subjects with evidence of another neuropathic pain not under study, such as pain resulting from diabetic painful neuropathy, sensory neuropathies or pain caused by radiation, chemotherapy, alcohol, HIV infection

    - Other peripheral neuropathy, paresthesia, or dysesthesia, or any other previously diagnosed neurologic condition causing the above noted symptoms that is not related with the PHN or posttraumatic neuralgia under the study

    - Participation in an analgesia trial within 90 days of the first planned dose of study drug.

    - Major surgeries (general or regional anesthesia), trauma, and nonhealing wounds/ulcers within 3 months prior to study drug

    - History (within 1 year) of seizure, intrathecal therapy and ventricular shunts, radiotherapy to the cerebral area, mild or moderate traumatic brain injury, transient ischemic attack, or stroke, or meningitis

    - History of severe traumatic brain injury within the past 15 years (consisting of 1 or more of the following: brain contusion, intracranial hematoma, either unconsciousness or post-traumatic amnesia lasting more than 24 hours) or with residual sequelae suggesting ongoing transient changes in consciousness

    - History of epilepsy or multiple sclerosis

    - In the investigator’s opinion, in consultation with the medical neurologist, any other conditions that could compromise the blood-brain barrier

    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary efficacy evaluation is the daily evening assessment of average pain intensity over the last 24 hours using an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS), where 0 = no pain and 10 = pain as bad as you can imagine.

    The primary efficacy endpoint is the mean of the daily evening assessment of average pain intensity over the last 24 hours for the last 7 days of the double-blind efficacy phase minus the mean from the 7-day baseline period (7 days prior to the first dose of study drug).
